Calafate & Chaltén Adventure Program

A great introduction to the epic landscapes of Patagonia. This is a vast country, so our trip could only fit in the best highlights; however we managed to pack a lot into a few days.

The Petito Merano glacier is a 'must see' - quite awe-inspiring in its scale. I also loved our walk in the Fitzroy NP. Fortunately the clouds cleared to reveal these towering peaks. Our guides Zoe and Pablo were great guides who introduced us to the landscapes, wildlife, food and culture of this amazing country.

This trip is a super way to dabble your toes into some of the greatness and splendor in Argentina's renown Southern Patagonia area. You get to see and have a taste of many things, from lakes and flamingoes to glaciers and mountains, to desert landscapes and archeology -- all in a few short days!

Walk Patagonia does a superb organizational job, supplying lunches and snacks, making sure stops are well-planned and timed, and arranging lodging that is comfortable.

One of the great things about this type of trip, which I experienced before this precise itinerary was put together, was the combination -- a true palette of surprises that just leaves you drooling for more.

For anyone considering the trip: Take waterproof gear and footwear! And a mix of items for both warm and cold weather. You can always layer and nobody will care if you wear the same thing just about everyday!

My goal is to return to Chalten for 4 or 5 days and then have the luxury of time to wait for the best weather to do long day treks. And now I know what to expect and where I want to return based on this trips smorgasbord of experiences.

It was a really good adventure overall with Walk Patagonia. The combination between a world's tourism attraction such as Perito Moreno together with a trek along the Fitz Roy in Los Glaciares NP is perfect for anyone going to South Patagonia for the first time. The nature experience is impressive all along the tour and the team was also very helpful and looked after us very well. They even prepared a cake on my birthday at the camp in front of the Fitz Roy :).
There is not many international places in this world I am sure I will travel back, but Patagonia is certainly one of them. And I will definitely visit Zoe, Pablo and the rest of the team at Walk Patagonia.

I'm usually a solo traveler, but am so glad I joined Walk Patagonia for this tour. You'll see so much more of Patagonia this way, and the guides speak fluent Spanish to help at any restaurants or stores. They have also lived in the region for a long time so were able to recommend the best dishes to try.

Camping in the mountains was one of my favorite outdoor experiences I've ever had! I loved bonding with the group as we hiked miles around the beautiful area. The company went ahead and brought some of our gear up ahead of us and set up our tents so we could focus on relaxing after a long day.

Everything was very well organized, from the excursion to Perito Moreno glacier to the three days trek around Fitz Roy. My guide, Pablo, was a great companion, it was a pleasure to trek with him. Staff in the office were friendly and helpful, the hotels I was booked in were very comfortable and, in the case of El Calafate and Punta Arenas, outstanding. All the transfers went smoothly. Definitely recommended.
