Highlights
- Q444+VM El Chaltén - This is a secure method of ascent that merges elements of climbing, trekking, and scrambling, while not necessitating prior climbing expertise.\nThe route is outfitted with a continuous steel cable that is securely anchored. The path is enhanced with the addition of ladders, metal steps, and suspension bridges, strategically placed to facilitate navigation through difficult sections. The journey culminates with an exhilarating zip line that transports participants to the mountain’s summit, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding valley, mountains, glaciers, and the Fitz Roy range.\nThis unique Via Ferrata design enables climbers to glide a carabiner attached to their harness along the cable, passing over each fixed anchor point without ever disconnecting, ensuring a safe and enjoyable adventure.\nParticipants will convene with the guide for an initial briefing, followed by a flat one-mile approach to the base, the via ferrata climb, and finally, the descent to the estancia’s entrance.\nThe Via Ferrata spans 1800 feet with an elevation gain of 600 feet.\nEssential equipment such as a helmet, harness, and specialized lanyard will be provided to each climber.\nThis guided climbing activity does not demand specific climbing competencies, but it is crucial to possess a good level of physical fitness for sustained hiking and a robust appetite for adventure!

Disappointing Customer Service - To say that we were disappointed is a complete understatement. We were visiting the south of Argentina and staying in El Calafate which is approximately a 3 hour drive away from El Chalten. We booked the 3 hrs de Escala y Caminata en Via Ferrata del Cañadón tour for our 24 year old children, 2 1/2 weeks in advance of our trip, through Viator. After making the 3 hour drive, we dropped our kids off at Bonanza and explored the area on our own. Two hours later, as we drove by Bonanza, we saw our kids outside the building. As it turns out, Bonanza was not offering the tour we paid for on this day. After over an hour, when a Bonanza employee finally realized they were just sitting there waiting, they were offered a horseback riding tour which left hours later, but since we had to leave the area by a certain time to make the 3 hour drive back, and this is not what they had anticipated and looked forward to, they declined. When we arrived and spoke to the employees, they did offer to credit the cost of the tour we paid for. However, this was not sufficient to make up for the fact that we specifically rented a car to make this drive, stayed an extra night in El Calafate and lost an entire day of our hard-earned vacation. When we requested additional compensation, we were offered a dinner which unfortunately did not work with our tight travel schedule as we would have had to stay in El Chalten for several more hours for this 8 PM dinner (it was about 4:30 PM at this time). At this time we asked to speak to a manager whom we were told was away and not reachable due to personal reasons Again, we more strongly and firmly requested another form of compensation. This request was again declined. This entire situation was unacceptable and for this reason we do not recommend Bonanza.
