Patagonia 10 Day Trip: Discovering the Surprising Beauty of Its Rugged Landscapes

Breakfast at the hotel. Morning excursion to visit the Perito Moreno Glacier. Throughout the day in Los Glaciares National Park, you will have the best panoramic views of the Glacier walking the walkways of La Costa, El Bosque, Inferior and Medio. We recommend as an optional short sail on Lake Argentino and if you are an active traveller, replace this excursion for a trekking on the Glacier. Return to the hotel in the afternoon.

Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning you will take a bus from El Calafate to El Chaltén for approximately 4 hours. El Chaltén is a small and very picturesque village, located in the Cordillera de los Andes, at the foot of the mountain. There you will find the entrance to the trails for some of the best hiking circuits in the country. In the afternoon we recommend visiting the Chorrillo del Salto and enjoying a craft beer in the bars of the village, where the atmosphere and the energy generated by the climbers is simply magical.

Breakfast at the hotel. Free day to enjoy the National Capital of Trekking. We recommend you to start by visiting the base of Cerro Fitz Roy. At the end of the village begins the path where this beautiful trek starts. It is a trekking of medium difficulty and of approximately eight hours lenght, since the duration depends on the physical condition of each one. The ideal is to get to Laguna de los Tres, from where you will have the best view of the Fitz Roy. The trail offers intermediate panoramic points and there are short options for those who do not want to walk so much. If you want to get to Laguna de los Tres, you should keep in mind that the last hour of the ascent will be a bit more demanding, but with patience and time you will enjoy it a lot.

Breakfast at the hotel. Free day to continue enjoying El Chaltén and its beautiful landscapes. For this day we recommend the hike to Cerro Torre, which lasts 6 to 7 hours and can also be done on your own. This trail is of low difficulty and unlike the previous one, it goes along the Fitz Roy River until you reach the Laguna Torre, from where you will have a breathtaking view of the Cerro Torre.
