With stunning views of soaring mountain peaks, El Chaltén is a small mountain village in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, located within the Los Glaciares National Park. Though it becomes nearly deserted during the freezing southern hemisphere winter, the town boasts a lively tourist industry in the summer. It was built in 1985 to help secure the disputed border with Chile but now plays host to hikers, mountaineers, and lovers of the great outdoors!
