What people love about touring Patagonia solo
- Argentina & Chile: Amazing Patagonia - 9 days
This was a self guided tour which I wasn’t aware of and needs to be highlighted on the website. Excellent organisation and no issues with any timings of events. Only issue was the itinerary stated we were going to have lunch at a cattle ranch which didn’t happen and was subsidised with a local restaurant meal. After further investigation we found out the ranch had burnt down in November 2019 yet the itinerary was not updated therefore we missed out on this event which was very disappointing and we would like to be reimbursed as such. Hotels are not walking distance from the bus stations and the transfer to the port at Puerto Natales was included contrary to the itinerary. Charge for Miloden caves needs to be added as an extra. It was 8000 Chilean Pesos. The bus trip from El Calafate to Puerto Natales takes between 5-6 hours depending on the border crossing. This needs to be amended in the itinerary as well as there is no baggage limit for the tour. Also a note should be made about the pick up times for the airport transfer at the start of the tour as we had to wait for two hours and just happened to see our names on a board at a transfer window rather than a person waiting for us. Also the talk about the devil listed on day six of the itinerary didn’t happen and needs to be removed. Besides the cattle ranch incident I enjoyed the tour and found the organisation of a very high standard
- Patagonia: Torres Del Paine ‘W’ Trek – 5 Days
This tour was an amazing experience in Torres del Paine. James was very helpful and timely in his responses and to my changing holiday plans. Andres the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and his connection to the national park made the experience more special. Even the unpredictable weather made this trip truly unforgettable!
Marilda with signature tours was excellent. She responded to a medical emergency immediately and to our changes and questions.

What our customers ask about Patagonia Tours for Solo Travelers
How are day tours and excursions structured for solo travelers in Patagonia?
Day tours in Patagonia accommodate groups of 15-30 people with shared transport guided activities and communal meals. The format naturally encourages interaction among travelers. During activities like the Perito Moreno Glacier tour you'll find plenty of chances to connect with others in your group. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The small group size on our Torres del Paine trek made it easy to get to know everyone while sharing amazing views."
What are the typical group sizes for solo travelers on Patagonia guided tours?
Groups in Patagonia usually consist of 8-16 travelers creating a close-knit environment. Places like Hostel Folk in El Calafate and Hostel Rancho Grande in El Chalten set up their spaces to encourage guest interaction. The smaller numbers help people get to know each other quickly. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The guides were all good and very knowledgeable making it easy to connect with others in the group while exploring places like Perito Moreno Glacier."
What is the typical cost of single supplements on Patagonia tours?
Expect to pay between USD 200-400 for single supplements on standard 4-7 day tours. Some tour companies offer room-matching services to help travelers avoid these extra costs. Hotels like Las Dunas in El Calafate and Chalten Suites provide single rooms with good amenities. According to one TourRadar traveler: "I traveled solo and found the single supplement reasonable given the quality of accommodations provided."
Which areas of Patagonia are most welcoming for solo travelers?
El Calafate and El Chalten stand out as social hubs for independent travelers. Both towns feature active centers filled with cafes and hostels where travelers often meet. The paths around Mount Fitz Roy and Perito Moreno Glacier see regular foot traffic making them safe and social. A TourRadar traveler shared: "El Chalten was perfect for meeting other solo travelers - the hiking community there is very welcoming."
What kind of accommodations can solo travelers expect in Patagonia?
Options range from standard hotels like Las Dunas in El Calafate to basic mountain shelters and campgrounds. Torres del Paine's Refugio Grey offers shared spaces with gender-specific bathrooms and common rooms where travelers often gather. For those wanting privacy upscale options like Costaustralis in Puerto Natales provide private rooms with views of the landscape.
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Patagonia?
The busiest and most social period runs from December through February when weather conditions are most reliable. January sees the highest number of visitors in places like Torres del Paine. The shoulder months of October-November and March-April offer a quieter experience while still providing good conditions for hiking in areas like El Chalten and Los Glaciares National Park.
