Visitor information centres
The official tourist information offices for your trip to El Chaltén: the Los Glaciares National Park centres, the El Chaltén and El Calafate municipal offices, and the Santa Cruz province and national tourism offices, with address, opening hours, phone and email.
Before your trip or during your stay, you can write to them or drop by:
- In Buenos Aires, the Casa de Santa Cruz, the National Parks head office, the National Tourism Secretariat and the city’s tourist assistance centres.
- In Río Gallegos, which has an airport and where some travellers stop before or after visiting the El Chaltén area, the head office of the Santa Cruz Province Tourism Secretariat.
- In El Calafate, the National Park Information Centre, at the park headquarters, and the municipal and provincial tourist offices.
- When you arrive in El Chaltén, stop by the National Park’s Ceferino Fonzo Visitor Centre to check trail conditions and safety advice before heading into the mountains. The municipal tourist office can help with accommodation, transport, services and activities in the village.
The Enquiries button opens a form: your enquiry goes straight to that office.
