What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Patagonia
- End of the Earth
This was amazing! Patagonia is absolutely breathtaking, and we got to walk with penguins! Above all, however, was our leader Marina. She was incredible and made the entire experience unforgettable.
- Patagonia: W Trek, Perito Moreno & El Chaltén
This is a wonderful trip, allowong you to get the best of both Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia. I stringly recommend taking the W trek in wintertime, clear skies, very few people, and you can feel the magic of this land.
- 10 -Days of Unforgettable Exploration in Argentina
We were able to see many of Argentina's highlights with this tour. Every stop on this tour is spectacular and very memorable. It is a shared service so all tours were in Spanish and English. The guides were excellent, but had to juggle both languages for the guests. Even though this tour was pieced together to accommodate what we wanted to see, everything worked and we were always notified of when our transfers would be, scheduled tours would be taking place, and drivers were always waiting. Very good attention to details. This company went above and beyond when my husband's cell phone fell out of his pocket in the van on an early morning transfer. I thought it would be lost, but the driver found it, the company arranged for it to be taken to Buenos Aires and the next driver delivered it!! Now that is service!!
What our customers ask about Fully Guided Tours & Trips in Patagonia
What's the ideal length for a fully guided Patagonia tour to see the main highlights?
A well-planned Patagonia tour typically spans 10-14 days allowing visitors to explore key destinations at a comfortable pace. This timeframe lets travelers see Torres del Paine National Park Los Glaciares National Park with its Perito Moreno Glacier and visit essential cities like El Calafate and Puerto Natales. For reference the 14-day Discover Patagonia tour by National Geographic allocates multiple nights per location. A TourRadar traveler noted "The itinerary was perfect - we had enough time in each place to truly soak in the magnificent landscapes." Those with limited time can opt for 7-8 day tours focused on either Chile or Argentina.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a fully guided Patagonia tour?
Tour accommodations range from basic camping setups to upscale lodges. Premium tours such as those by National Geographic feature stays at the Remota Patagonia Lodge in Puerto Natales and Los Acebos Hotel in Ushuaia. Trek-focused tours blend camping in Torres del Paine with hotel stays in urban areas. A TourRadar traveler reviewing Unu Raymi Expeditions shared: "The camping equipment was excellent quality and the refugios provided welcome shelter after long hiking days." Most itineraries include 3-4 star hotels in cities with simpler mountain lodges or camping in the parks.
When is the best time to take a guided tour in Patagonia?
The main tourist season runs October through March during the Austral summer with December to February offering optimal conditions and extended daylight. A TourRadar traveler who chose winter noted: "Visiting Torres del Paine in winter meant clear skies less wind and very few people on the tracks." October/November and March tours often provide better availability and rates while maintaining good hiking conditions. Summer brings reliable weather but expects more visitors at popular destinations.
What's included in terms of meals on fully guided Patagonia tours?
Tour packages usually cover daily breakfast several lunches particularly on hiking days and select dinners. G Adventures' Hike Patagonia tour provides 13 breakfasts 4 lunches and 3 dinners featuring regional dishes like Patagonian lamb. Luxury operators such as Trafalgar include most meals plus unique experiences such as family dinners in Buenos Aires. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The food exceeded expectations - from gourmet camp meals to traditional asados (barbecues) we were well-fueled for each day's adventures."
What kind of transportation is used between destinations on guided Patagonia tours?
Tours combine various transport methods including private vehicles public buses and flights to navigate Patagonia's expansive terrain. High-end operators like Trafalgar use luxury coaches and include domestic flights. National Geographic tours cover all transportation with dedicated vehicles for daily excursions. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The mix of transport worked well - comfortable buses for scenic routes and flights to maximize our time in each destination." Some itineraries incorporate boat journeys like the Andean Lakes Crossing between Chile and Argentina.
What wildlife might you see with expert guides in Patagonia?
Local guides help visitors spot native species including guanacos Andean condors flamingos and pumas in their natural environments. They know prime viewing spots and times in Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares National Parks. As one TourRadar reviewer explained: "Our expert guide helped us spot condors soaring near French Valley and showed us where to look for pumas near Hotel Las Torres - we would have missed so much wildlife without their knowledge."
