Argentina #17 - From El Chaltén to El Calafate

On August 4, 2023, in bitterly cold weather, we left El Chaltén to reach El Calafate, a little further south, still via the legendary Ruta 40. The peaks of Fitz Roy will remain visible for a good part of the journey. We also make a stop at the famous Parador La Léona, halfway between El Chaltén and El Calafate. A unique place, this guesthouse has existed since 1894 and welcomes all travelers who take route 40 north or south...
