Los Glaciares NP Visitor Center (El Chaltén)
Centro de Visitantes Guardaparque Ceferino Fonzo
The national park visitor centre at the town entrance, where you can pick up maps and check trails and weather. It is also the starting point for the condor and eagle viewpoints.
The visitor centre stands beside the bridge at the entrance to town, and buses often stop here first. Rangers give brief talks on trail rules and the Leave No Trace principles. Inside are exhibits on the geology, flora, fauna and mountaineering history of Los Glaciares National Park. Visitors can pick up free hiking maps and check the day's wind conditions and trail openings. Admission is free. The trails to the Condor and Eagle viewpoints start right next door.
Opening hours
About 9:00–17:00 (extended in summer)
