    Overall, I thought this was a pretty great trip package! The BIG highlights are of course Mount Fitz Roy and Laguna Torre (El Chalten), Glacier Perito Moreno (El Calafate), and Base Las Torres (Torres Del Paine, Chile). I personally thought the initial hike of the trip though (on the 2nd day) called Laguna Amarga was a little basic, short, and not overly fascinating or challenging and maybe could've been replaced with something else? But that said, we still saw some guanacos (llama-like animals) on the path and the bulk of the Los Torres park mountains in the distance during that hike. So I guess it was okay. In terms of the accommodations, I was very very pleased with the selection, especially the first and last hotels (in Puerto Natalas, Chile, and El Chalten, Argentina). They were all pretty bouge-y / snazzy looking places with nice amenities. I wish the hotel in El Chalten had better / faster wifi though. As a side note, I bought a cell data plan for Argentina and only had Edge (slower than 3G) in El Chalten and there were also no cell service on the bus rides / roads between cities. So better and faster wifi especially in this last location would've been nice. In terms of the flow, organization, and execution of the itinerary and this travel company, A+, I must say! Drivers there to pick you up from airport / bus and transfer to hotel, waiting for you with a name card in hand. Good communication from the tour companies if there was a change in itinerary for the following day. Hotels were well picked with breakfasts included. Final thoughts? Look, if you wanted to do all the above highlights for hiking in a more budget-friendly way, sure you can find a way to do it. You can buckle down, search the places, organize the accomodations, stay at cheaper hostels, pay for taxis as you go, organize the bus transfers, not have guides on the hikes and do them all solo, etc. Therefore, you might pay a hair bit more in taking this package than you would if you figured out and just did everything yourself, but you do feel like you're living in the heart of luxury once your done the hikes. And the views and open-air, scenic experiences of those hikes are pretty great, too! 4.5 out of 5 stars

    This trip was amazing! Great communication with us and the tour was modified when we struggled to get our Chile visa - thankyou so much for the support! Argentina is an amazing place, everything flowed like clock work. Argentina has been our favourite country so far; amazing people (honestly happy and larger than life), the food is so tasty and the nature (you cant compete with Patagonia!). Left this tour incredibly happy and sad it ended. Highly recommended.

    Greatly enjoyed this trip and the trekking highlights it included. The tour guides were very excellent and knowledgeable. Even though I booked the tour only days before the departure date Merilda and Signature Tours went above and beyond to make the trip happen despite a few obstacles (thank you Marilda!). Always had clear and efficient communication each day over email or Whatsapp. As per other reviews travel experience between destinations was made very organised and seamless.

      Definitely yes, you can travel with a suitcase. During hiking you do not carry your anything more than a small backpack for the walking during the day; full luggage remain at corresponding hotels.

    Douglas

    Asked on December 31st, 2024

    Can it work for us to fly to Puerto Natales and join the tour there instead of flying to Puntas Arenas on the first day? We can be responsible for getting a taxi to the hotel. At the end of the tour on April 2 in El Chalten, we would want to be booked on 8 am bus to El Calafate, is that possible?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Signature DMCOperatorWritten December 2024

      1) Definitely yes. You can fly to Puerto Natales instead of flying to Puntas Arenas on the first day. We will organise the arrival transfer in Puerto Natales. 2) On April 2nd, we have two options for you: 8:00am Bus Line departing from El Chalten bus station or 9:00am in small group / pick up directly at your hotel and drop off at the airport. Very important: this is not a group tour which dates are set and having a guide throughout the duration of the trip as well as a group of travel companions. Our program includes flexibility with dates (you are able to choose your own dates), the itinerary is set, all services are in shared services with local English speaking guides. And you could have different travel companions each day.

      Douglas

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Do I understand correctly that we would be met at the Puerto Natales airport by a driver who then will transfer us to our hotel? Regarding departure choices to El Calafate on Apr 2 (8am bus or 9 am small group transport) -- the Plataforma10 website says that the bus trip is 2 hrs 48 min. Is the trip time for the small transport similar in time length to that of the bus? At this point, we are still undecided on taking the bus or group van. Do we need to let you know our choice before booking? I'm assuming it'll be ok to book beforehand and then let you know our choice as soon as we decide. One last question - we are interested in spending the night of Apr 2 on our own in El Calafate. If you could let me know soon after we book this tour the name of the hotel we'll be staying in El Calafate during the tour so we can use the same hotel when we get back to El Calafate.

    • Signature DMCOperatorWritten January 2025

      1.- Definitely yes. A local driver will be waiting for you at Natales's Airport arrival hall with a sign with your name on it and will transfer you up to the hotel booked. 2.- The duration of the trip El Chalten - Calafate is 3 hours (less or more). The same duration by small group or by bus (on the last option, we/you must consider transfer to El Chalten bus station + Calafate bus station/hotel). 3.- Normally, the hotel we use is Mirador del Lago. We will inform you at the time of booking.

    • D

      Douglas

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Will await notification of which hotel we'll be staying at in El Calafate so we can contact about staying there the night of April 2. Regarding the bed arrangements for the hotels, just want to confirm that there will be 2 twin beds in the room at each hotel.
