Questions

Are 2 nights enough to see Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre?

Yes, if the weather plays along: one day for each lake. If you can add a night, you gain a spare day for the wind.

When do I get back to El Calafate on the last day?

The transfer leaves in the late afternoon, after Laguna Torre, and you reach El Calafate in the evening. If your flight is that same day, add a night.

Does it work as a trip from El Calafate?

Yes, that is what it is for: we pick you up in El Calafate and bring you back there.

Can the order of the days change?

Yes. We arrange it around the forecast: if a day looks very windy, we move the big hike to the best day.

What if I travel alone?

You can: the room is yours and you hike with the group. The price is in the table, under "Travelling alone".

Are the hikes in a group?

Yes, in small groups of up to 8 with a mountain guide. If you would rather have a guide just for you, we can do that too.

How fit do I need to be?

Able to walk 6 to 8 hours in a day, with climbs. No mountain experience needed. If in doubt, write to us and we will look at it.

Which hotel will I stay at?

A hotel of the package’s category, in town, with breakfast. We confirm which one when you book, depending on availability for your dates.

How do I pay?

A deposit to confirm and the rest before the trip, in dollars or pesos. We send you the details on WhatsApp.
