Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip

Witness Argentina’s Perito Moreno Glacier and listen to the symphony of thundering ice cracking along the 30 km-long expanse of electric blue. This is one of the few glaciers left that isn’t shrinking!
verified
Spend three days camped among the peaks of Chilean Patagonia – a great opportunity for a true digital detox. Sleep under an untouched sky and witness vast, ever-changing landscapes by day.
verified
Trek past the most beautiful waterfalls and glaciers of Torres del Paine National Park and spot wildlife like guanacos, flamingos, foxes and rhea birds along the way.
verified
Explore Laguna Esmeralda – arguably the best hike in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Near Ushuaia (The End of the World), this is the nation’s only park with an ocean coastline.

Begin and end your trip with time in bustling Buenos Aires – the perfect place to reconnect with the urban world after a remote adventure in the wild. Try local Argentinian food, dance the tango and hit the nightlife!

The three-day camping adventure in Torres del Paine National Park is one of our favourite parts of this trip but remember facilities will be more basic on this part of the tour than others. We've sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Tuuur style of travel, but please note that service and accommodation in Argentina and Chile may differ from standards at home.
verified
In order to make the most of our time in Patagonia, this trip includes two particularly long travel days (Days 7 and 11). Please read the itinerary carefully for travel time estimates. The reward for your patience comes in the form of jaw-dropping glacial scenery.

The classic hikes of Patagonia was a dream come true, beyond any expectations.
Some of the hikes were long and tough but the guides allowed for rests and made sure everybody is ok.
The bus trips in between different places were a welcome break to relax, reflect and recover. Never boring, there is always so much to see and discover.
There is a good variety of included and optional activities, it's up to the individual to fill up the day with more things or just take it easy.
The hotels are well chosen regarding location (all quiet, important facilities within walking distance), friendly hosts, cleanliness,facilities,
wifi etc. The Camping part was more than basic in my opinion, wonderful meals, hot showers, electricity sockets. (but I would bring my own down sleeping bag with me next time)
The whole itinerary is well thought through and planned out.
I was impressed,
The guides were also carefully chosen, and each one had incredible local knowledge.
Argentina's inflation rate could be a problem , it would make the trip more expensive. But that's politics...
Thanks Intrepid , it was the most amazing adventure!

This was on my bucket list for a long time and it didn’t let me down.
What a fantastic experience, great local guides with a huge amount of knowledge. And our main guide (Gus) was amazing. Nothing was to much trouble. If you want a trip to soothe the soul and exercise the body this is it .

I just came back from the Classic Hikes of Patagonia trip and words can’t express how much fun I’ve had. The hikes were absolutely beautiful - some were challenging, but so, so worth it. We were blessed by incredible weather during the two weeks and we had such a lovely group of travellers. Special shout out to Seba, who made this trip so special!

Do not book additional hotel nights through Intrepid. We had a wonderful hiking tour in Patagonia (great tour, guide, travel arrangements etc), but booked additional nights at our destination hotel for after the tour. Big mistake. Even though we tried to cancel through Intrepid ten days before we were to return (the hotel was in a noisy area, and we were keen for a quieter time on our return), Intrepid didn’t respond for a week and then offered 1/3 refund. While I would thoroughly recommend the tour I would book everything through a travel agent next time.
