El Chalten: Mountain Runners Paradise

El Chalten from the perspective of a mountain runner in a nutshell. Overall I covered over 284 km with 8725m +/-, and spent over 34 hours in these mountains. Although I got to most of the major landmarks and a fair few lesser known areas, it feels like I could spend a year there and still not know all the beauty. As a runner on these trails you will have to at times stop for hikers on the more well known trails, and trail etiquette is of utmost importance to both care for the land and not ruin runners repuatations in what is know as the Trekking Capital of Patagonia. But if you enjoy these trails respectfully and responsibly then you are in for the adventure of a lifetime.
