    The two cities are beautiful, Calafate is already a city, developed where it has all the comforts that one looks for, from hospitals, casinos, restaurants to 5-star hotels. Already the Chalten is more a town, but beautiful, they have an incredible view of their mountains. A tour that everyone has to do, because it is something wonderful.

    The trip was excellent. I always wanted to see Patagonia, and thanks to this incredible company I was able to do it (I'm writing this with a smile on my face from the memories I took with me). The Perito Moreno really left me speechless, it is something incredible as that imposing ice field is there for thousands of thousands of years.

    Are you offering this trip in September 2024?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Signature ToursOperatorWritten February 2024

      This program operates on even days, starting on October 2. Regarding weather in this part of Patagonia, the wind is an inevitable companion especially between October and March. To be prepared is a must. The area is know due to abrupt changes in temperature and the sudden appearance of dense clouds, heavy rains and even snowfalls, all on the same day that dawned sunny and cloudless on the horizon is a feature that can take you by surprise when you walk through the trails. For this reason you should always bring with you warm and waterproof clothes even if it is sunny.

    Asked on July 8th, 2023

    My daughter and I are looking for a strong hiking tour of Patagonia. I am 65 years old and have hiked to Machu Picchu, Mont Blanc, and the English Lake Distrcit. One day of this hike says it only allows people between the ages of 20-40. Is there another 10 day tour with lots of hiking that would allow me to participate?

      My personal opinion is if you are used to walking in the mountains, and your physical condition is perfect, I would like to recommend to check the links mentioned. These are just examples, so we can change the order of destinations, remove any service or add other excursions. I can adapt everything according to your interets.

    • Signature ToursOperatorWritten May 2023

      Our Winter (June-August) in Patagonia is perfect if you enjoy exploring the great outdoors. You should expect milder winds, the possibility of snowstorms and low visibility, unpredictable weather at times, and cold temperatures between the 20s (-5 - 0 degrees Celsius) and highs in the low 40s (5-8 degrees Celsius). Days are short, with up to 10 hours of daylight, sometimes heavy snowfall over this period.

    • Signature ToursOperatorWritten December 2022

      This is not a group tour, this experience is done in small group shared tours, which means that you will get to know different people every day, you will not be with the same persons every day. There is no tour leader and you might get different guides in each destination.

      Would there be an issue with booking hotels if i booked for a date in the next 2 weeks or would it be fine?

      The availability of hotels will depend on your travel dates. Until the first two weeks of April we are in our high season, so the availability can be scare.
