If they arrange their own internal flights, are transfers still included?

How many travelers are booked for the same dates?

How can we get from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia?

You should book a flight to get to Ushuaia. Since on the first day you don't have any excursions planned you can choose any time that is more convenient to you. Take into account the check in hours for the hotel are usually in the afternoon between 2 and 3 PM. We use mostly Aerolineas Argentinas and JetSMART as a second option, we strongly advise against using FlyBondi, since it has caused us many troubles in the past with the schedules. If it's more comfortable for you, we would be happy to assist in the quotation of the flights.

Could you provide more information on the itinerary, inclusions, and accommodations offered on this tour? Additionally, could you provide a quote for four adults?

This 8-day journey explores two of Patagonia's most iconic destinations: El Calafate and El Chaltén. The program includes a visit to the spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier, boat navigation on Lake Argentino, and days of hiking around Mount Fitz Roy and Laguna Capri, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. Travelers stay in comfortable 3- to 4-star hotels and enjoy guided tours with bilingual guides. Daily breakfast and some excursions are included, while domestic flights, some meals, and personal expenses are not. This tour combines scenic exploration and outdoor adventure, ideal for families or small groups seeking a balanced Patagonia experience. In this case, the difference in the price for being a group of 4 people would be 40 USD less per person...

Which flights specifically are included with this tour please?

Once you book the package, we will provide you with the flights, but at this moment, the flights would be: AR1886 25MAR Aeroparque - Ushuaia, AR1897 29MAR Ushuaia - El Calafate, AR1843 01APR El Calafate - Aeroparque

Do you have early January 2024 dates for this itinerary?

I just extended prices until May 2024. This is not a group tour, this experience is done in small group shared tours, which means that you will get to know different people every day, and different local guides in each destination.

Could you provide information on internal flights routes and airlines and hotels included in the package?

Internal flights are not included on the package. Clients should book directly via Aerolineas Argentinas or FlyBonfi websites. Flight routes: Ushuaia arrival on Day 1, Ushuaia to El Calafate on Day 5, El Calafate to Buenos Aires on Day 8. Hotels include: Ushuaia - Los Acebos or Cilene del Faro or similar. El Calafate - Kosten Aike or Mirador del Lago or similar.

Could you please advise if this tour can be customized at all?

Definitely yes. We can customized the tour according your interests.

Are all these departure dates really confirmed? Does it mean that in February there will be 28 of this specific tour? What are the chances of booking a specific day and there will be not enough people and the tour gets cancelled?

This is not a group tour, this experience is done in small group shared tours, which means that you will get to know different people every day, you will not be with the same persons every day. There is no tour leader and you might get different guides in each destination. You can choose your travel dates according to your availability, we can not cancel the departure.

I am athletic and fit 65 years and wondering what I can do to join this trip. I want to know hiking miles. I am looking to do W trek with over 40 miles of trekking.

If you want to add accommodation in Puerto Natales or have a private guide during W Trek, we can organize with an additional cost.

I would like to request a quote for this tour to be run on a private basis for 6 adults in March 2023.

This program is in private service except Full Day Trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier which is provided in shared service with English speaking guide. Price per person, based on 6 Adults, is U$D 3,748 p.P. Accommodations will be Hotel Los Yamanas in Ushuaia and Hotel Posada Los Alamos in El Calafate or similar.

My client reported that the overall tour experience was positive and generally well-organized. The hotels were particularly excellent. The tour operators was fantastic. He mentioned that he may have missed some important tours during the itinerary. My client expressed a preference for full-day excursions rather than the half-day tours that were booked and paid for. He noted that the full-day excursions provided a more comprehensive experience, which he felt justified the additional cost. Upon arrival, his pickup time had not been confirmed, and he was unsure whom to contact, resulting in an unnecessary two-hour wait. However, after the first day, the pickup times were more efficiently organized. Additionally, my client observed that there were very few English-speaking guides available. On occasions when the designated English guide was sick or unavailable, he was either required to join a Spanish-speaking guide’s tour or forfeit the excursion altogether.Show more

  Does this tour offer a shared accommodation that my solo traveller can be paired with to reduce the solo traveller price? How many people are confirmed for this tour dated March 25 to April 1st please? Can you offer any discounts, coupons or vouchers for this traveller?
- Signature DMCOperator•Written March 2025
  We don't work with shared accommodations, always in private ones. So it would not be possible to pay a cheaper price for the Hotels. You will not be sharing this package with other people who also bought it! You will have different people on each excursion! And yes, it is possible to confirm the tour with the flights. No, we can't provide a discount.
