El Calafate to El Chaltén, 225km
As we've seen what there's to be seen in El Calafate we drive off and arrive in El Chaltén at about noon. After polling the different information centers we find a nice room and we are ready to go on a hike in the beautiful valley with huge boulders. Unfortunately no sight of the peaks although the sun is shining on our side. There is very strong winds while we climb and it gets wet when we reach the laguna. As it doesn't look like the fog is going to lift and let us have a peak at Fitz Roy we turn around.
At the restaurant we meet the first Swiss! Claudio and I are decisive that we'll get up at 5 next morning and redo the hike to see that Fitz Roy.
El Chaltén is another place to come back. No wonder it is called the Nation's Capital of Trekking.
