10 Days in Patagonia

This 10-day Patagonia itinerary is for those who want to experience it deeply. We add three days of trekking in El Chalten, Argentina's national trekking capital, to the classic 7-day route, reaching the foot of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. The perfect itinerary for nature and trekking lovers.

Estimated budget: USD 1,500-2,800 per person mid-range (excluding international flights), including hotels, meals, tours and internal flights.

Days 1-3: Bariloche

Same as the 7-day itinerary: arrival and exploration, Circuito Chico with Cerro Campanario, and the Route of the Seven Lakes or Victoria Island.

Day 4: Fly to El Calafate & Glaciarium

Flight (2 hours). Afternoon at the Glaciarium (museum + glaciobar at -10C) and Avenida Libertador. Patagonian lamb dinner.
