Questions

Is the transfer from El Calafate included?

You choose: from El Chaltén, without the transfer, or from El Calafate with the door-to-door transfer both ways. Both prices are in the table.

What if I already have somewhere to stay?

We set it up without the hotel: just the guided hikes and the boat. Write to us for the price.

What is the Viedma Glacier day for?

Resting the legs between the two long hikes, and as a spare day if one of them comes in very windy.

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.

Are the hikes in a group?

No: the guide walks only with you, from one person up. If you would rather join a group, write to us and we tell you which dates there are.

What if I travel alone?

You can: the guide walks only with you. The price is in the table, under "1 person".

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.
