El Chaltén is a very young town founded in 1985. It's at the North of Lago Viedma and 210 kilometers from El Calafate, at Los Glaciares National Park. The main attractions are the Mount Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre and the Southern Ice Field. The town has about 4000 permanent inhabitants, it's small but you will find it quite developed, due to the high demand of visitors during the summer season (October to March). During the winter, the services are reduced: 2 daily buses between Calafate and Chaltén, 2 or 3 restaurants and a few Hotels will remain open. There are Grocery Stores, Fuel stations and ATMs. By the way, it's always good to have some pocket money in cash, since ATMs usually runs out of cash, and not every store will accept credit cards.
