We spent all day Tuesday traveling in Argentina to get to El Chalten . We came here to see Fitz Roy and Cerro Torres, two epic mountain peaks. Our first day here we hiked 16 miles, frozen in the snow to see the views, but saw nothing. The clouds were too thick.
El Chalten is known for its homemade ice cream. So Carly and I treated ourselves to a pricy 6 dollar bowl of ice cream.
Today, instead of doing another hike, we treated ourselves to real cup of coffee(most is instant coffee) and lounged around all day until Fitz Roy finally showed through the clouds(never did see Cerro Torres.)
Another popular feature here in Patagonia is the Parrillas. Its a heavy duty meat grill. This being our last full day of relaxation, we decided to go hog wild at one of the several Parrillas here in Chalten. We ordered a meat sampler to feed four people consisting of lamb, steak, chorizo and blood sausage. The sampler set us back about 80 American dollars. We decided to finish off the evening with some high dollar ice cream which we ate a combined weight of 1 kilogram.
Here are some photos of today's adventure!
