if you're looking to take your first step from pavement to mountain, running in El Chaltén, deep in Patagonia, might just be the life-changing experience you're looking for.
Located in Santa Cruz Province, Los Glaciares National Park is a wild and pristine land where granite mountains, towering glaciers, native forests, and turquoise lakes converge. It's one of the top trail running destinations in Latin America—and still a hidden gem for much of the global running community.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park spans over 700,000 hectares and is a dream setting for your next runcation: a trip where your trail running shoes meet awe-inspiring nature.
In the northern section of the park, you’ll find El Chaltén, known as Argentina’s Trekking Capital. But it’s also a runner’s paradise. From this small town, a network of trails leads through lush forests, along rivers, and up dramatic ridgelines—with the mighty Fitz Roy range always in view.
One of the highlights of the region is the Laguna de los Tres trail. This 25 km out-and-back route offers technical climbs, alpine terrain, and stunning views that will stay with you forever.
