El Chalten

Now I wouldn't say El Chalten is a one horse town, but.........


Llama maybe :o)

So the only reason this place exists is to give people somewhere to sleep after they've hiked up and down the hillsides that surround it.  All in all a nice little place but you come here for the scenery, not the town.  

I got here around lunchtime so I had chance to grab something to eat and then head off on one of their beginner trails, to a lookout point that looks out over the town and the valley.



And then another that looks out over the lake and gives a good panoramic view.



All in all about 2 hours of hiking.  Tomorrow is the big one,about 8 hours to the base of Mount Fitz Roy, hopefully the weather is clearer than today - it's snowing here too!
