evidence: Mount Fitz Roy and the surrounding area is where we spent the next 3 days of our Patagonian adventure. [...] In the shadow of Mount Fitz Roy is the somewhat sleepy town of El Chalten. Interestingly, El Chalten has only been around since 1985. Chile and Argentina were previously in a border dispute, and Argentina created this town simply to secure this otherwise uninhabited portion of the border. A war never happened, and when Chile and Argentina settled, they agreed to keep El Chalten within Argentina. [...] A steep climb at the end of the hike takes you to the Mount Fitz Roy mountain range, which is astounding to see in person. Mount Fitz Roy is the tallest of the mountains in the range at 3400 m, and is the star of the Argentinian Andes. However, as the unpredictable weather in Patagonia would have it, Mount Fitz Roy spent much of the day hiding behind clouds.
