El Calafate & El Chaltén, Patagonia, Argentina
1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions
El Calafate and El Chaltén are two gateway towns in Argentine Patagonia, sitting within the Santa Cruz province near the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. El Calafate is the base for visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier — one of the world's few advancing glaciers and a UNESCO World Heritage site — while El Chaltén is Argentina's self-proclaimed trekking capital, built at the foot of the iconic Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre massifs. Travellers come for world-class hiking, glacier trekking, ice climbing, and dramatic landscapes of jagged peaks, turquoise lakes, and windswept steppe. The combination of raw wilderness and well-established trail networks draws both independent backpackers and group adventurers year-round.

Nobody's posted a Mission for El Calafate & El Chaltén, Patagonia, Argentina yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.
Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.
Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
