My favorite destination in Argentina is El Chalten that can be combined with a visit to El Calafate. El Chalten is known as the Trekking Capital of Argentina, it is a small mountain village located about 200km from El Calafate (accessible by bus, 5-hour ride) and surrounded by the Andes Range and the Patagonian Steppe, with gorgeous views of Mounts Fitz Roy and Torre. There are several paths to trek and pretty nice excursions including ice trekking on the Torre and Viedma Glaciers. The best seasons to visit the village are South American Spring and Summer (October to April). Enjoy!
