Christiane • traveled in February, 2026
Overall, the trip was very well organized. My only concern is with the Hotel Lady Florence Dixie in Puerto Natales. I would recommend removing this property from your list. The room was extremely small for two people and felt quite worn, especially the bathroom, which really needs updating. In addition, there was a notice advising guests not to plug in electrical devices. Some outlets worked while others did not, and when we charged our phones, you could tell there was some kind of electrical issue.

We had wanted to visit Patagonia for a long time to see its unique nature and wildlife. Thanks to TourRadar, we found the Best of Patagonia 11 Days Tour by GUIDEcuador Travel, and it turned out to be a great choice. We just got back, and the trip was amazing. We saw beautiful landscapes, visited both Argentina and Chile, went hiking, watched penguins and other local animals, and even did glacier trekking. It was a memorable experience from start to finish. We were also extremely lucky with the weather. It was windy, but we had no rain and great visibility of the mountains, which made the views even more impressive. The tour was very well organized. Transportation was always on time, the hotels had excellent service and great breakfasts, and all the local operators were friendly and professional. One thing to know: if you want to see penguins on the Beagle Channel, that activity is not included in the base tour. You need to request it separately. We also had an issue with the eSIM card offered by TourRadar. It connected to the network but didn’t give us internet access. I’d recommend checking with the provider and making sure everything works before you travel. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and would happily recommend this tour to others.

Gear up with crampons for a 2-hour walk across Perito Moreno Glacier, navigating around crevasses and ice formations while guides explain why this glacier is still advancing. After that, hop on a catamaran to cruise the Beagle Channel, stopping at Bird and Sea Lion Islands to spot Magellanic and Gentoo penguins before reaching the famous Lighthouse at the End of the World.

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.

Where to start your Patagonia trip
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.

Best time to visit Patagonia
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter transforms Patagonia into something special, with our customers consistently highlighting their favorite experiences. The Buenos Aires to Ushuaia journey connects city life in the capital with raw glacier exploration in the south. Our travelers tell us how guides adapt seamlessly to winter conditions, particularly around El Calafate, where Perito Moreno Glacier puts on spectacular ice formations. Santiago serves as another excellent starting point, with tours weaving through Torres del Paine using carefully timed stops that work with weather patterns - our guides know precisely when to move and when to pause for incoming weather. The winter Argentina-Chile combination tours include smart buffer days around key sites like French Valley, Grey Glacier and other notable spots. The smaller groups in winter mean more individual attention from guides Marina and Seba, who get specific praise from customers for their expertise in helping everyone handle the demanding winter landscape.

- Spring 2026
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 2026
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.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Patagonia offers two perfect autumn routes that our travelers consistently choose. The first blends city and wilderness, starting in Buenos Aires before heading to Torres del Paine, where paths lead across suspended bridges and up to Windy Pass, opening up to crystal-clear mountain lakes. Many visitors opt for the route linking El Calafate's glacier experiences with El Chalten's trail system, which puts you face-to-face with both massive ice formations and dramatic peaks in a single trip. The guided walks to Laguna de los Tres showcase Mount Fitz Roy, framed beautifully by autumn foliage, while boat trips bring you directly to the active wall of Perito Moreno Glacier. Both journeys typically begin in Buenos Aires, giving travelers time to wander through La Boca's vibrant painted streets, San Telmo's historic district and also the city's cultural landmarks before venturing into Patagonia's untamed landscapes.
