El Chalten is the most youthful and modern town in Argentina today. The Andes Mountains peaks have ice fields that expand almost 4,900 square feet. In the city, 350 inhabitants live there throughout all the seasons of the year. Snow and ice mostly fence the town, and the homes are low structured with roads mostly made of rocks and dirt. In 1985, Argentina and Chile had a border dispute to gain and claim rights over El Chalten. There was no war in the end, and El Chalten was earned and rewarded to Argentina. Homes, government buildings, and flags of Argentina went up to mark the city settlement. On the border of Argentina and Chile, there are unique landscapes with villages placed on the Patagonian Ice Fields, which can cause numerous of challenges for El Chalten.

In 1877, Fitz Roy was discovered and named by Perito Moreno during the Charles Darwin expedition. The natives called it the “Smoking Mountains” because they believed it was a volcano with clouds of smoke surrounding the peaks of the mountains. Mount Fitz Roy makes the town worth visiting because one can seek the impressive peaks from any area. The whole village finds a gorgeous view that keeps expanding due to the tourism and beautiful location.

The growth of tourist seems to double each year. Most tourists are people from another country who enjoy seeing the magnificent Glacier National Park, climbing mountains, and most importantly is to hike. El Chalten has enormous amounts of trails to explore and take adventures, which makes it the national capital for hiking. South of the Tumbado Mountain, there are hiking trails up to Viento and Lagoon Toro. However, about 100-altitude meters overhead of El Chalten, there is also cliffs with large curves that look out on Condores. The high winds make it very dangerous which occurs often.
