So I was off to Chalten to see Mount Fitzroy, another one of Argentina's beautiful postcard spots.
The Fitzroy mountain range was name after its discoverer. Mind you that when I say discover, I actually mean its White discoverer, for the Mapuche indians were already pretty aware of the mountain by the time Fitzroy first layed eyes on it. The indians named it Chalten, after which the national park is actually named. The mountain is not the only one, but perhaps the most stunning attraction of the park.
I was booked for a mere three days of camping and I thought it would be enough to check out the entire park... silly me.
I made it the entrance of the park at midnight. I set my tent and waited for whatever the next morning would bring me.
