We so enjoyed this spectacular Patagonian scenery and experience, plus a short hike in the national park (easy) balanced the bus ride to and from El Chalten. Our knowledgeable guide, Walter, made the day very memorable with his passion for history and the terrain. He was fluent in both English and Spanish.
We stopped along the way for beautiful photo opportunities, and the real photo highlight was from a summit in the national park, overlooking Fitz Roy (as seen in the famous Patagonia clothing emblem). Next, our tour group enjoyed lunch in a restaurant in El Chalten (we had pre-selected our menu choices earlier in the morning enroute) and we were also afforded an hour to stroll the town afterwards. (Recommend purchasing your national park tickets online beforehand- they offer 1, 2 and 3 day passes).
