El Chalten es el pueblo más cercano , pero está a 230 Kms recorriendo la mítica Ruta 40, (el tramo de la Panamericana que atraviesa 6.000 Kms en Argentina). De camino paramos en la posada La Leona, donde en su día se alojaron Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kidd y Etta Place en su huída de la justicia. El lugar es curiosísimo.

I've just returned to El Calafate and I miss my friends Jenny and Loïc, with whom I spent incredible days here two years ago... and although at that time I was very impressed, I didn’t want to repeat the excursion to the Perito Moreno glacier... but being in the middle of the Glaciers National Park, I can’t pass up the opportunity, so I decide to take a day trip to El Chalten, to visit the Viedma glacier.
And for the first time in years, the front line of the Viedma has been broken, forming huge icebergs floating in the lake and the boat was so close we can almost touch them. Once on the glacier with crampons, we take a two-hour walk deep into the ice, with huge cracks and impossible formations... to finish drinking Baileys with 400 years old ice... Just great!
