Arrived in the small but booming new town of El Chalten, in the middle of the Los Glaciares National Park. A four hours busride, half of it on gravel roads, but the scenery made up for it.
Today we went hiking for 7 hrs. amidst beautiful forests at the feet of Fitz Roy Mountain, the biggest mountain in Argentina at a mighty 12,000 feet. There were glaciers in the distance and it was a magnificent view. If the feet hold up, we will go on another hike tomorrow before heading out on Friday morning (6 am) to drive back to El Calafate to catch a flight to Buenos Aires for our last leg of the journey.
We have been so lucky with the best weather. Sunny, warm but windy. Hope it will last another day.
Got to run, more next time. Best to all of you.
