Famous Places To Visit During Patagonia Vacation

DAY 1: EL CHALTÉN, ARGENTINA - CONDOR LOOKOUT POINT

DAY 2: EL CHALTÉN, ARGENTINA- TREK TO FITZROY MOUNTAIN

This city in Argentina is famous for its trek to Fitzroy Mountain. What makes this trip special is the two routes which you can take and both the routes have very different views and breathtaking sights.

What could be better than visiting the last point as our last spot of the journey! Walk on the promenade to watch Beagle Channel and enjoy the sunset. Don’t forget to visit Saint Christopher Shipwreck and hike in the famous Tierra del Fuego National Park, one of the most famous national parks in the region.
