- End of the Earth
It it a great tour. I can highly recommend it. Sadly there were some issues with the hostels and the transportation. The tour guide Fernanda was just amazing, the group itself super nice and fun.

This was amazing! Patagonia is absolutely breathtaking, and we got to walk with penguins! Above all, however, was our leader Marina. She was incredible and made the entire experience unforgettable.

Travel Patagonia your way
Our most popular hiking routes center on Torres del Paine's incredible circuits. The full O Circuit takes 8 days to loop the massif - you'll camp near the massive Dickson Glacier and cross swaying suspension bridges over Grey Glacier. If you're short on time, the W Trek packs the best bits into 5 days including French Valley and Grey Lake. Our hikers tell us the pre-dawn walk to Mirador Base Torres is worth every step - you'll see three giant granite towers rising above a bright turquoise lagoon. For a real deep dive into Patagonia's trails, our 13-day trips combine Torres del Paine with El Chaltén's paths to Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torre, getting you right up close to Mount Fitz Roy and also Cerro Torre.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursWant to mix things up in Patagonia? Our 10-day route starts in Buenos Aires before heading south to Bariloche and El Calafate for some proper outdoor action. The Bariloche portion has you cycling the Circuito Chico with views over Nahuel Huapi Lake, plus a chair lift up Cerro Campanario for some serious mountain panoramas. Lots of our clients opt to bike the Seven Lakes route to San Martín de los Andes too. Down in Tierra del Fuego, we run 4-day Ushuaia trips where you'll walk through southern beech forests and boat the Beagle Channel - keep your eyes peeled for sea lions and seabirds around Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. We build in enough wiggle room so you can add extra activities or take it easy when needed.
See all Active toursExplore a wide diversity of coach / bus tours through Patagonia. We have 6 adventures that vary from 4 days to 15 days. With the greatest number of departures in January, this is also the most popular time of the year.
See all Coach / Bus toursFor those wanting to really dive into Patagonia's wilderness, our longer tours pack in the best highlights over 10-14 days. Starting in Buenos Aires, you'll head south to tackle some seriously good trails. Most travelers go for the route through Los Glaciares National Park, hiking up to Laguna de los Tres for clear views of Mount Fitz Roy. Then there's the massive Perito Moreno Glacier where chunks of ice regularly crash into Lake Argentino - it's quite something to see in person. Our customers particularly like how we balance guided walks with free time, and they often mention how smooth the logistics are which lets them focus on the actual experience.

Top operators in Patagonia
Looking at the Patagonia tour operators, Wanderful Holidays and OneSeed emerge as the top choices based on actual traveler experiences. Wanderful Holidays gets consistently good feedback for how they handle all the details - from sorting out transport logistics and accommodation to keeping travelers well-informed throughout their trips. OneSeed really shines with their small-group treks. Their guides know both the popular trails and hidden spots, plus they've found some unique places to stay that you wouldn't typically find on standard tours. Our travelers particularly like how personal these trips feel, since you're not just following the crowd. Exodus and TourRadar sit somewhere in the middle. While many of their customers have good experiences, we've heard about some hiccups with communication and cases where the actual trip didn't quite match what was advertised. These aren't deal-breakers, but worth keeping in mind when you're choosing. I'd suggest steering clear of Unu Raymi Expeditions for now. Multiple travelers have reported issues with poor organization, spotty communication and trips that didn't deliver what was promised in the brochure. When you're planning something as complex as a Patagonia trip, you really need an operator you can count on.

"Overall my tour was a great experience, mostly due to my amazing guide Yamila (I highly recommend finding out when Yamila is doing the tour and book then!) Our two cooks Sergio and Paulina were phenomenal as well. I booked the refugio but it was full so I ended up in a tent which was fine as the tent was spacious and the sleeping bag was very warm (plus you have more privacy in a tent). I will caution people to not get so hung up on the schedule, as things like weather can change very quickly and the guides might adjust the schedule to make the most of your time in Patagonia. I would recommend this tour if you’re adventurous, fit, and most importantly flexible. If you’re all of these things you will not regret your time on this tour.

Best places to start your Patagonia tour
Most of our Patagonia journeys start from Buenos Aires which offers 24 different departure options throughout the season. El Calafate comes in as another popular kickoff point with 23 tour starts, while Puerto Natales - your gateway to Torres del Paine - gives you 15 different options to begin your trip. Ushuaia, Punta Arenas and some other cities round out the starting points with 9 and 6 tours respectively. Since prime spots fill up quickly, booking about 100 days ahead makes sense - this helps lock in your preferred dates and lodging, particularly during the busy summer months from December through February. The sweet spot for visiting falls between November and March when the weather's kinder and days stretch longer. Mid-November to mid-December is particularly nice with spring flowers blooming and fewer tourists around, plus you get great conditions for photos and hiking. While you can see the highlights in 7-10 days, many of our travelers stay longer to really sink into the wilderness experience and work around Patagonia's ever-changing weather patterns.
Discover Patagonia tours for every budget
Looking to explore Patagonia without stretching your wallet? The 2-night El Calafate package gets you up close with Perito Moreno Glacier - our customers love starting early to catch wildlife and take in the views from multiple angles. For a bit more exploration, the 4-night El Calafate and El Chalten combo adds Mount Fitz Roy and guided walks up to Mirador de los Condores. Self-guided hikers often pick the W Trek in Torres del Paine; you can move at your own speed while we handle the beds and logistics. First-time trekkers tell us they really appreciate the detailed daily plans and gear lists we provide, which takes the guesswork out of preparing.

The Argentina-Chile crossover tour blends Buenos Aires cultural visits with Patagonian landscapes, complete with private transfers and guides who adjust to how fast or slow you want to walk. Our travelers love being able to spend extra time taking photos along the Grey Glacier trail and watching condors soar in Torres del Paine. For serious trekkers, the private Torres del Paine 'O' Circuit comes with mountain guides and porters to carry the heavy stuff - you just focus on taking in the views and enjoying the trail.
Top Patagonia travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our 3-day Patagonia trips concentrate on El Calafate and El Chaltén's key spots. Most people go for the trek to Cerro Torre's lookouts and camp by Laguna Torres, where the wind pushes icebergs along the water's edge. You could also pick the Torres del Paine option covering Lago Grey and Lake Nordenskjöld, with walks through Valle Frances and up to glacier viewpoints. If you're heading to Ushuaia, we've got a compact trip mixing Beagle Channel boat rides to see sea lions and penguins with walks in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Our travelers tell us these quick trips work well - you get real Patagonian wilderness without needing lots of hiking practice.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego National Park

Week-long tours let you really get to know Patagonia. One popular route links El Calafate with El Chaltén - you'll walk to Mount Fitz Roy's base, check out Perito Moreno Glacier and have time to explore these mountain towns at your own pace. There's also a great Torres del Paine W Trek option where you'll camp in wild spots and hike to Grey Glacier, French Valley and the Torres base. Our customers like how these tours mix guided hikes with free time to explore. Most days involve 6-8 hours of walking, but those views of hanging glaciers and granite peaks make the effort worth it.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, San Carlos De Bariloche, Chiloe Island

Ten days gives you time for both hiking and cultural discoveries. Starting from Buenos Aires, you'll head south to experience Patagonia's main attractions. The routes take you through Los Glaciares National Park, to watch ice chunks fall at Perito Moreno and across Torres del Paine's varied terrain. Some trips go down to Ushuaia for Beagle Channel cruises and Tierra del Fuego hikes. Our travelers particularly value the rest days between big hikes - it really helps you absorb each place properly. Most days include 4-6 hours of walking, with some longer 8-hour hikes mixed in.
TourRadar recommends visiting:

Our solo routes through Patagonia hit a nice balance of group time and personal space. Many people start in Buenos Aires before heading down to El Chaltén for the Laguna de los Tres trek - you'll join a small group but still have room to go at your own pace. The local guides Marina and Seba get lots of mentions in the feedback for how they help everyone through the tougher sections. Another solid option pairs El Calafate's glaciers with the W Trek in Torres del Paine; our travelers tell us the group really clicks over shared dinners and trail stories.
The premium Patagonia trips work really well for couples - you get active days on the trails and comfortable evenings at well-picked hotels. The route from Santiago down to Ushuaia lets you mix hiking with wildlife spotting, and we've built in good chunks of free time to explore on your own. Quite a few couples go for the Buenos Aires start with tango shows before heading south for glacier walks and penguin colonies near Ushuaia. The small groups mean you can stick close to your partner but still make friends with other travelers along the way.
The more challenging routes tend to draw younger travelers, especially the full W Circuit in Torres del Paine where you trek three valleys and camp under Patagonian skies. El Chaltén's day hikes paired with mountain lodge stays is another favorite - social but not restricting. Our guides get what this age group wants: pushing hard on the trails while having a good time. You'll learn about local geology while sharing mate tea with new friends. Many add extras like ice hiking on Perito Moreno or kayaking through the Beagle Channel for extra excitement.
The Premium Patagonia tour from Santiago works great for our older travelers - you can adjust daily activities to what suits you best, from short nature walks to scenic drives and boat trips out to the glaciers. Another good choice starts in Buenos Aires and moves south with two nights in most spots, so there's no rushing. Our guides Marcela and Lujan know how to set the right pace and make sure everyone gets to really take in places like Grey Glacier and the Balmaceda fjords. The mature travelers really like having all the planning done for them but still keeping some independence during free time.

Best time to visit Patagonia
- Spring 2025
Spring in Patagonia offers ideal conditions for exploring the diverse terrain. Our small groups head into Torres del Paine on well-marked paths, where you'll cross swaying bridges and make your way up to Windy Pass - our travelers often tell us how good the cold gusts feel after the climb up. We've designed tours that connect El Calafate's glacier experiences with El Chalten's trail network, so you can see both the massive ice sheets and mountain peaks in one trip. The guided walks to Laguna de los Tres showcase Mount Fitz Roy surrounded by spring flowers, while boat excursions take you right up to the active Perito Moreno Glacier. Many tours start in Buenos Aires, giving you time to wander through La Boca's painted streets and San Telmo's historic quarter before heading to Patagonia.

- Summer 2025
Summer opens every Patagonian trail and possibility. Our most-booked tours mix time in Santiago or Buenos Aires with extended stays in Torres del Paine, where summer's long daylight hours let you really dig into the hiking trails. The mixed tours that combine French Valley treks with Grey Glacier visits are customer favorites, including nights at local refugios along the route. Summer also brings fantastic penguin watching at Martillo Island - you'll walk right beside the colonies while local experts share their wildlife knowledge. For a complete southern experience, several tours continue to Ushuaia with Beagle Channel sailing and also hiking through Tierra del Fuego National Park.
