• Day 1: Arrival in El Calafate

You’ll arrive in El Calafate (Argentina) and I’ll be there waiting for you at the airport for the pick up. Since Argentina is the thoughest part of the trip, I generally like to start from there; also, in autumn the leaves are turning golden earlier in Argentina than Chile, that’s why El Calafate is a good start. If we’ll have time on that day, we’ll visit the Perito Moreno glacier for sure, otherwise we’ll go there the day after.

• Day 2: Perito Moreno

We’ll spend the next day visiting one of the most incredible glaciers you’ll ever see, the huge Perito Moreno. The glacier is around 70km away from the town, so we’ll leave in the morning and return in the evening for a warm meal in a local restaurant.

• Day 3: Drive to El Chalten

We’ll wake up in the morning the day after the visit to the wonderful Perito Moreno glacier and we’ll start our drive towards El Chalten, our main destination for the Argentinian part of the trip: a small, cozy town, made basically of hotels, hostels and cafes. Everything is just suited for hikers, since it’s one of the most popular hiking destinations of the world.

Now that’s where the “good” part comes: from the town we’ll have to hike up an 6 miles trail; since we’ll probably arrive in town with not enough time to make the hike (3h30m) and place our tents, we’ll go sleep at one of the hotels on that night, and start our adventure the next day.

• Day 4/8: Fitz Roy & Cerro Torre

As I was saying for the day before, now it’s all about to do that long hike and arrive at the campsite; once we are there, we’ll start taking pictures of the fabolous Fitz Roy! We’ll spend 4 nights in our tents shooting both the Fitz Roy and the Cerro Torre, the two most beautiful peaks of the Andes. The plan is to stay two night at the Poincenot basecamp to shot the Fitz Roy and two nights at the De Agostini basecamp to shot the Cerro Torre, but we’ll move accordingly to the weather.

• Day 8: El Chalten

After our last sunrise in the wilderness, we’ll return back down to El Chalten to have some warm food and an hot shower! We’ll arrive at the hotel in the afternoon on that day, we’ll rest and prepare for the drive of the day after.

• Day 9/12: Torres del Paine National Park

We’ll leave El Chalten and move towards the famous Torres del Paine National Park in Chile! That will be our location for the next 3 nights. We’ll camp at the Torres del Paine Camping, a campsite with way more facilities than the ones in Argentina (es. wifi slow as hell, toilets, small groceries, restaurant). We’ll shot the famous dead trees of the park as well as many reflections and hopefully some guanacos and/or the puma!

• Day 12: Drive to Punta Arenas

On our last full day, we’ll drive to Punta Arenas, the closest city to the Torres del Paine (2h30m drive), and that’s where you should take your return flight back home. I might recommend to take a little time to explore the city, since the vibes, the cafes and the whole atmosphere of the town is something truly unique. It makes you feel like you are at the end of the world (and you are!).

• Day 13: Departure from Punta Arenas

Unfortunately, this will be the time to say goodbye. I’ll take you to the Punta Arenas airport and you’ll take your return flight back home!
