Argentina
YPF El Chaltén Ruta Provincial 23
Fuel Station
This YPF station sits at the entrance to El Chaltén, the gateway to Argentina’s trekking capital. Clean facilities, reliable fuel pumps, and a small convenience store stocked with mate, cookies, and basic camping supplies. Gets busy during summer trekking season when buses unload, but service stays efficient. The attached café serves decent empanadas and coffee if you need a break from camp food.
Located right on RP23 as you enter town from the north. Credit cards accepted, but cash is king for small purchases. Stock up here if heading deeper into Patagonia — next reliable fuel is 220km south in El Calafate.
