    Do you have dates and prices open for 2027?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2026

      We have received your inquiry and you are in good hands. My colleague Joe of our specialized team will be assisting you with your trip planning. Together with Explore!, we will ensure that your trip is meticulously planned and that you have a wonderful experience.

    • M

      Michael

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      El Chaltén: whether it's possible to include longer or alternative hikes such as Loma del Pliegue Tumbado or Cerro Solo, in addition to (or instead of) shorter options, depending on weather and group ability.

      Torres del Paine: whether there is flexibility to add longer day hikes or partial O-Circuit–style day sections, rather than only the standard viewpoints, if the group is strong and conditions permit.

      Lago Nordenskjöld / Paine area: interest in longer day hikes or additional viewpoints beyond the basic routes, where feasible.

      I'm mainly trying to understand what options might be available for stronger hikers. I'm comfortable with long hiking days (8–9 hours) and have experience with sustained elevation gain in mountain terrain.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2026

      Unfortunately, we're unable to offer customised elements on our tours, as they are designed to run according to a set itinerary to ensure everything runs smoothly for the whole group. The Adventures in Patagonia + Iguazu Extension trip is rated as full on, with plenty of hikes and treks throughout.

      Additionally, there is built in free time to allow you the flexibility to choose from a carefully selected range of additional excursions and activities:

      Day 7: Torres Del Paine - Base Torres trek - US$185

      Day 8: Torres Del Paine - Boat trip to visit Serrano River and glacier - US$ 195

      Day 10: El Calafate - Perito Moreno Ice Trek (please note health restrictions apply to this trek, including an upper age limit of 65 due to Glaciares National Park regulations) - £485 including transport - this should be pre-paid at time of booking and is non-refundable. Boat trip to Glacier face - US$70

      Day 11: El Chalten - Lago Del Desierto and Vespignani Glacier Boat and Hike US$126

      Optional excursions can be paid in either USD cash or Argentinian Pesos, at the daily exchange rate. At Torres del Paine, payment is only accepted in USD, and the hotel charges a 19% interest on the use of Chilean Pesos.

    Asked on December 5th, 2022

    Is it possible for me to join the Patagonia+Iguazu tour in Buenos Aires on a different date, as I will be coming off an Antarctica trip in Punto arenas and will have to get a flight to Buenos Aires via Santiago? I have already toured Buenos Aires.

      Sarah

      TravelerWritten December 2022

      Can I join the trip in Buenos Aires on day 2 evening, can I reserve the twin shared, does it include all domestic transportation and park entrance fees?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten December 2022

      For this trip, the latest you can join is on Day 2 (Mid Afternoon) - you would not receive any refund for unused services. You would need to make your own way to the joining hotel on this day. We do arrange the internal flights for you.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten August 2022

      The tour leaders that we use, are local and would come from Argentina. However, the trip would not be in Spanish - but in English, as we are a UK based Adventure Travel Company.
