About this trip
This is a nine-day hiking trip through Argentine Patagonia, built around two of its big-name trekking bases. You spend real time on foot, covering ground in El Chaltén and near the Perito Moreno Glacier, with a stop in Buenos Aires bookending the wilder stretches.
It's a fully guided group trip aimed at people who want proper mountain days rather than a gentle wander, and it runs over Christmas and New Year for those happy to spend the holidays on a trail instead of at home.
What you'll do
- Trek beneath Fitz Roy in El Chaltén
- Hike in the vicinity of the Perito Moreno Glacier
- Spend time in Buenos Aires
- Cover multiple hiking days across Patagonia's open landscape
- Billed as serious hiking and mountain hikes, so expect demanding trekking days, not casual walks
- Fully guided throughout, in a group setting
- Runs over the Christmas and New Year period
Worth it if you want well-organised hiking with a strong guide and group dynamic. Think twice if itinerary changes without explanation matter to you.
- CEO/guide quality made the trip: Val and Gabi earned specific praise for communication, group care, and arranging dinners after hikes.
- Kayaking was swapped for a second hike with no explanation, confirmed less than two weeks before departure.
- Well-planned logistics from Buenos Aires start to accommodation; activities balanced and sights genuinely impressive Patagonian scenery.
- Nine days felt short to most; expect early starts and full days of physical hiking, not leisurely pace.
