Facts

Departures

Regular departures are available every day from October to April.

Starting / finishing point

The trip starts directly in El Calafate, Argentina, at the airport or agreed meeting point, and finishes on Day 4 at El Calafate Airport. Transfers from Torres del Paine or Puerto Natales are not included, but can be arranged separately through your Travel Experience Designer. For domestic flights in Argentina, we recommend booking flights departing after 2:30 PM.

Physical demands

This is the right trip for energetic people who like to be active, have a spirit of adventure and a positive attitude. To enjoy this trek it’s essential to be in shape before you arrive. It’s not wise to regard this trek as a means of getting into shape or losing excess weight. Start a program of conditioning well before departure.

Group size guiding staff

8-12 travelers are the most typical group size plus guiding staff.

The maximum is 14 clients.

Transport

In Torres del Paine and throughout Patagonia transport is in minivans that normally seat from 8 to 14 people. When we have only 2 to 4 people we use smaller vehicles, usually 4x4, driven by the tour guide. On the regular departure trips, you'll share the vehicle with other EcoCamp guests joining other tours. On the private departure, the vehicle will be for your use exclusively, although transfers for private groups may be combined owing to our environmental policy compelling our operators to keep to the lowest possible environmental impact and thus avoid driving the same way at the same time with two half-empty vehicles.

Weather

The vast unbroken stretch of ocean to the west and south of the South American continent leaves the Patagonian Andes very exposed to the saturated winds that circle the Antarctic landmass. Also, both the strong marine and the South Patagonian Ice field influence make the weather hard to predict. In spring or early summer, fine weather may deteriorate almost without warning, bringing rains and eventually snow. Even in summer (December to March) you should come prepared to find cold- strong winds (up to 130 km/hr) and rainfalls. The summer’s average temperature is 11ºC/52ºF (24ºC max, 2ºC min).

Children

Children that are 13 years of age or older are welcomed and are considered adults. Children between 10 and 12 may be accepted in this program if the child’s legal guardian sends a formal letter stating that the child is prepared for such an intense trekking trip and authorizes us to hire a private guide in the case that the child cannot complete the trek. Children under 10 years of age cannot participate in this trip. This trip doesn’t offer a special discount for children.
