"A nice and fairly easy hike, go early to avoid crowds
Believe there is now a fee to visit as it is part of the glacier park..."

"Great place to get away from the crowds that only go up to Mirador de los Condores and then back to their airconditioned buses. Nice 8KM loop from downtown El Chaltén!"
