With the tour starting on day 2 at Puerto Montt and reaching Punta Arenas on day 20, is there a reduced price for not doing the day 1+21? So if it's self-drive ,does it include just accommodation and car hire ,or is petrol included? Also is it possible to have 4 people in the vehicle or just 2?

It is possible to book the tour without the flights, starting in Puerto Montt and ending in Punta Arenas. The price reduction would be 1050 EUR per person. Petrol is not included in the group tour. As the vehicles are rather small, these would not fit for 4 pax in one vehicle (category Renegada 2x4). We could offer a bigger category for 4 pax, if required.
