The two mountains of El Chaltén

Two mountains live in El Chaltén, and their characters differ. Fitz Roy is an extrovert: first on every postcard, visible straight from town, it gets all the looks and all the plans. Cerro Torre is an introvert: half its life hidden in clouds, it demands a separate day and may not show up at all the first time. But that is how it is with introverts: the most interesting is behind the closed door.
This is Laguna Torre at sunrise. The mountain, its reflection in the water, ice floes drifting across the mirror. One minute of calm - and the world turns upside down. Torre gives such views only to those who came to her themselves - and are in no hurry to leave.
In our routes Torre gets what she is owed: a separate day and a sunrise. Because a journey is made memorable not by ticks on a map but by the minutes when you cannot believe your eyes. From such minutes we will build your journey through Patagonia.
