The day’s track
Climbers will know what I came to Chalten to see. But first, it had snowed overnight. This was slightly worrying as I have further south to go, and one more low pass ahead. It’s late in the season and although I’m sure there are other bikes behind me, I only know of one
Early, it’s beautiful over Chalten
To the south
And that’s Cerro Torre! Fitzroy never appears
The sun catches it. Click this photo
El Chalten is a small village with an outdoor bent
A last look back at the town before I leave
To the gas station. A converted container or two
Snow on the hills lower down
The lake and the Andes behind
A long uneventful paved road with few features except this. Very cold
The river
If you look carefully you can see the road weaving across the landscape here
A giant river, glacial blue
Into Calafate for a long rest
Saludos
