Review:
Found on the border of Argentina and Chile, the mountain range of Monte Fitz Roy is also known as Cerro Fitz Roy or Cerro Chalten. The mountain was discovered by Argentine explorer Francisco Moreno in 1877 and was named after an English officer of the Royal Navy, Robert FitzRoy. Considered one of the most challenging mountains to scale, Cerro Fitz Roy is also one of the most recognizable landmarks in Argentina. Visitors who are looking to enjoy the view can head to the nearby village of El Chalten. There are many trails surrounding the peak, which visitors can hike by foot, and all of them provide stunning views as well. Fitz Roy is a part of Los Glaciares National Park, a site that attracts visitors from around the world. There are many companies that will help visitors hike through the mountains if they decide not to do so on their own.
