El Chaltén is a tiny Andean town placed at the foothill of Mt. Fitz Roy (3.405 m) and Mt. Torre (3.102 m), both of which are preferred destinations by rock climbers from all over the world, because of the challenge that their steep walls pose to risk lovers. The town, declared the National Trekking Capital, was founded in 1985 and has at present a population that reaches 300 inhabitants and a developing tourist infraestructure.
