Workation in El Chaltén: the essentials

El Chaltén only came into being in 1985, when Argentina settled a border dispute with Chile by planting a village at the foot of Cerro Fitz Roy. About 3,000 people now live here year-round on the Río de las Vueltas, inside Los Glaciares National Park, and the trails to Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torre start at the edge of town. Hikers and climbers fill it from November to April, and many businesses close in the southern winter. Being this remote has consequences for anyone who must be online every day, so ask about the connection before you book. El Calafate lies 220 km south, and its airport is the way in.
