El Chalten
El Chalten is a town that was created in 1987 as a response to the border disputes with Chile. The disputes were so important that Argentina decided to have a presence on this border. There were pioneers that arrived in the zone much earlier. Andreas Madsen and other families lived as cattle ranchers in the area. Historically it was the place where the colonists that arrived from Europe to Punta Arenas started looking for opportunities in cattle ranching.
The indigenous people that lived in the mountainous zone called the El Chalten Mountains which meant mountain that smokes. Today this mountain is known as Fitz Roy, this place is a mix of magical glaciers, lakes, and granite protrusions. It is a famous place for climbers and tourists that seek out trips in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
