A three hour bus ride brought us to the small, colorful town of El Chalten, which is nestled in the mountains. It is shockingly beautiful here and we spent our first full day here today doing a shorter "warmup" circuit hike where we saw multiple vantage points of the Fitz Roy mountain range. The mountain's jagged peaks loom out of the glacier that feed the lakes below. We will be hiking and camping out for the next night or two, which will allow us to get deeper into this ridiculously stunning place.
