Reviews of Small Group tours to Patagonia
- Hiking Fitz Roy & Torres del Paine National Park - GROUP TOUR
I travelled with the company in November 2019 and the experience was incredible. I joined one of their group tours and it was amazing. The group departure was in Spanish, English and German which was great for me because in this departure were a lot of German people and a main guide who spoke German perfectly well. In the group were 13 passengers which was the perfect amount of people to share a hiking trip and the group was what made this trip unique. I am also in touch with Andrea and Matt, who became very close friends of mine. All services were absolutely great, the camp, the hotels, the transportation. I can only recommend that we should all do a group trip for once in our lives.

What unique accommodation experiences are available on small group tours in Patagonia?
The accommodation options range from intimate mountain lodges to boutique hotels that cater specifically to small groups. Groups typically stay at properties like Los Cerros Boutique Hotel in El Calafate with views of Lake Argentino or the four-room Kaulem Hosteria in El Chalten. Hotel Las Torres in Torres del Paine offers rooms with direct views of the mountain range. A TourRadar traveler noted "Don Los Cerros at El Chalten was very nice - luxurious superb location and views with excellent personalized service perfect for our small group."
What level of fitness is required for small group tours in Patagonia?
Tours require above-average fitness as daily walks can last 5-10 hours and cover distances of 10-20 kilometers. The Base Torres trek is a good example requiring hikers to gain 2297 feet in elevation over 12.4 miles.

In Torres del Paine guides like Francisco share detailed knowledge about local wildlife plants and geology. A TourRadar traveler noted "our guide was exceptional sharing knowledge about plants mountain names and spotting condors throughout the trek."
How do meal arrangements work on small group Patagonia tours?
The smaller group size allows for more personal dining experiences from local restaurants to special arrangements at places like Madero Tango in Buenos Aires. Remote locations such as Torres del Paine feature custom meals at refugios and camps. According to one TourRadar traveler "The small group size allowed us to have dinner together and share experiences while trying local Patagonian specialties."
How does transportation work on small group Patagonia tours?
Transportation combines private and public options with comfortable minivans designed for 4-8 people. Private vehicles handle transfers between major points like El Calafate and Torres del Paine offering more scheduling flexibility.
