“Chaltén”, mountain that smokes. This is because its peaks are always in the clouds.
This massif, together with the Perito Moreno Glacier are part of the Glacier National Parks. To get to it you have to drive to El Chaltén. One of the newest villages of Argentina. It was created to reashure the national rights over the borders on the ice regions.
In 1937 the National Park Los Glaciares was created. After all the region had been explored and discovered a new challenge came to mind. The enormous mountains Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy had to be discovered. In 1952 two French men, Lionnel Terray and Guido Magnone got to the top of the Fitz Roy and in the year 1970 the Italian Maestri gets to the top of the Cerro Torre.
