Important Information

The trip destination
  • Accommodation: 2 Superior nights (hotel), 10 Classic nights (7 hosteria, 3 hotel)
  • Travel by minibus, private coaches and two internal flights
  • Three walking days of up to eight hours’ duration

Food
All breakfasts, two lunches and three dinners are included. Hotel breakfasts are normally buffet-style and are included. The accommodation arranges packed lunches for trekking days. There is a variety of good-quality food in local restaurants and cafes, usually for relatively low prices (although the refuge we stay in for the standard itinerary in Torres del Paine is the exception as facilities here are limited). Vegetarians are catered for throughout the trip, but please advise us before you travel so we can make arrangements on your behalf.
Weather

We schedule our Patagonia trips between October and April to take advantage of the longer days and warmer temperatures. During these months, the temperatures in Buenos Aires reach a maximum of 30C (86F); in El Calafate/Torres del Paine/Punta Arenas around 15C (59F); and in the extreme south, Tierra del Fuego, 14C (57F). These are the daytime maximums, and the average temperatures are likely to be a little lower than this.

In Patagonia, the nights can drop to freezing point, but often remain just above. Patagonian summers tend to be dry although rain cannot be ruled out, particularly in the mountainous regions along the Chile-Argentina border where you might experience all four seasons in one day! Patagonia is renowned for being windy… and sometimes very windy (dress accordingly and watch your step).

In Patagonia, the changing weather is part of the adventure; however, in extreme wind/weather conditions our tour leader may modify the itinerary for safety reasons.

Is this trip for you?

This trip is graded Activity Level 3 (Moderate). For more information on our trip gradings, visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip, please contact us.

Itinerary: We feature two classic Patagonia treks, one in Los Glaciares National Park (Day 3) and one in Torres del Paine National Park (Day 8). Both are full-day treks that have a section of steep and rocky terrain, which makes both treks graded as Challenging.  We recommend you have reasonably good fitness levels to maximise your enjoyment of the trip. On each of those days, we also offer a shorter trek option that takes in each park’s scenic beauty but at a more moderate pace. The highest point comes on the hike to the Torres del Paine, at the lookout point at 2,907ft (886m) above sea level. All hikes are non-compulsory.

Internal flights: There are two domestic flights included which are based on a set flight schedule and cost. Depending on flight availability at the time of booking, there may be a supplement to pay. If applicable, this will be communicated to you at the time of booking. Flight times are subject to last-minute schedule changes.

Drives: In addition to the two included flights, we have some long drives to enjoy the sweeping views of Patagonia. The longest drives are when we cross the border from El Calafate to Torres del Paine and when travelling south from Cerro Sombrero to Ushuaia.

November-December 2025 departures: Trips running in these months have an amended Day 7 as we stay in a different hotel to our standard accommodation.
