From Mirador Loma del Pliegue Tumbado, see Cerro Fitz Roy (3405 m or 11,171 ft elevation) rising high above Laguna Torre (634 m or 2080 ft). Clouds hide Cerro Torre. From El Chalten, we hiked to Mirador "Loma del Pliegue Tumbado" ("hill of the collapsed fold"), 19 km (11.9 mi) with 1170 meters (3860 ft) cumulative gain in Los Glaciares National Park, in Argentina, Patagonia, South America. El Chalten mountain resort is 220 km north of El Calafate. Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche word meaning "smoking mountain", due to clouds that usually form over Monte Fitz Roy. El Chalten mountain resort is in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, Patagonia, South America.
