Private guide in El Chaltén
Come with an idea, not an itinerary.
Patagonia is not experienced the same way by everyone. Some want the classic trails; others want remote valleys, wildlife photography, a mountain pass or several days in the backcountry.
We build the trip around your interests, fitness, time and travel plans. Alone, with family or friends, the guide adapts to you, not the other way round.
Fitz Roy is not somewhere we found on a map to sell trips to: it is where we live and where we have guided since 1995. We know these trails in good weather and bad, when to change a plan, when to keep going and when another route will simply make a better day.

Yes. Laguna de los Tres, Laguna Torre and all our treks can be done private, at sunrise too.
Can I hire a private guide alone, as a couple or as a family?
Yes. A private trek is only for you and your group, one person or a whole family.
