Patagonia #34

Chocolate muy excellente!

In El Chalten (Argentinian Patagonia; where we stayed for five days to do day hikes in the area), there is a chocolateria (i.e. chocolate shop), named Josh Aike Chocolateria. Being in the middle of nowhere, one wouldn't think El Chalten would have much in the way of fine food. However, this place's home-made chocolate is some of the best we've ever had. We went there our first day in town for a block of chocolate and a hot chocolate or fresh-squeezed orange juice, and it was so good we kept going back every day after hiking and before dinner. They had interesting chocolate flavors, including chili-flavored chocolate! The shop was definitely very funky, inside and out, as you can see from the photo...
