Crafting Argentina Experiences · One Journey at a Time

The El Chaltén itineraries, sorted by price. All of them walk from the village; what changes is how many days and whether you sleep out.

Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
There is no park gate, no transfer and no ticket. The paths to Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torre begin in the village itself, which is why a place of a few hundred permanent residents has become the walking capital of Argentina. It also changes how you plan: the day is decided in the morning, looking at the sky, not booked in advance.
Laguna de los Tres sits under Fitz Roy and takes most of a day, with the last hour steep enough to be remembered. Laguna Torre is longer and flatter, with the glacier at the end. Between them they are why almost everybody comes.
One each, ideally
Fitz Roy is clouded in more often than not, and a two day visit can easily see nothing. Three days buys one bad day and still leaves both walks possible. Four is comfortable.
Buy yourself a spare day
Camping at Poincenot puts you an hour below the viewpoint at dawn, which is when the granite goes red and the wind has usually not started. It also turns the walk into a comfortable day rather than a long one.
Worth the tent
The glacier an hour and a half south is at Perito Moreno glacier, the guided and self guided circuits at guided Patagonia trekking, and the rest of the village at El Chaltén tours.

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Patagonia package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; entrance fees to Los Glaciares and Tierra del Fuego national parks; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. Domestic flights inside Patagonia are quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.
Patagonian wind changes plans, and we plan for it. Every key day has a same-region backup: if the wind closes the glacier boat, you see Perito Moreno from the walkways instead; if the Fitz Roy viewpoint is in cloud, we swap days inside your itinerary. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
