Our carefully selected hotels and local partners ensure the best service possible. We cater to FITs, groups, adventure seekers, and the 50+ age group with luxury tours.

There will be plenty of time here to enjoy views of Lake Guillermo and the eastern side of the Upsala Glacier, as well as the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, before beginning the 14km trek through Fossil Canyon. The fascinating Cañadón de Los Fósiles, which is around 170 million years old, has been named for its immense concentration of marine fossils, imprints of squid and jellyfish among them, left behind after the last ice age. We can observe a kaleidoscope of colors across this terrain, the canyon’s walls rising beside us as we gradually descend until reaching a ravine at the edge of the valley. Along the way, we’ll stop and tuck into our box lunches before leaving the canyon behind, having explored it fully, then arriving back at the estancia and later onward to the port.

The route is primarily a trekking experience rather than technical mountaineering, but Patagonian trails can be uneven, muddy, rocky, steep, or exposed to wind. Good balance and confidence on natural terrain are important.
Think about whether you can comfortably walk for several hours on uneven ground with climbs and descents. The challenge comes from sustained effort, terrain and weather rather than speed alone.
Most trekking routes are not designed as exposed climbing routes, but some viewpoints or slopes can feel open. Travelers with a strong fear of heights should review the specific route profile before booking.
Guides continuously assess wind, rain, snow and trail conditions. The pace, stops or route may be adjusted when needed, and safety always takes priority over reaching a specific viewpoint.
Yes, but the guide must balance photo stops with the group’s pace and the day’s schedule. Keeping your camera or phone easily accessible helps you take advantage of short stops without delaying the group.
They can be very helpful on uneven ground, descents, muddy sections or windy days. Whether they are essential depends on the route and your personal comfort.
Yes. Guided treks are popular with solo travelers because they provide structure, local knowledge and the opportunity to share the experience with other visitors.
Carry enough water for the expected hiking time and weather, while avoiding an unnecessarily heavy backpack. Exact needs vary by route and season, so follow the operator’s pre-tour guidance.
Many travelers can, but it depends on your fitness and how your body responds. If you are planning several demanding Patagonia hikes, alternating harder and easier days can make the trip more enjoyable.
A guide adds route knowledge, weather judgment, safety support, natural and cultural interpretation, and pacing. This can be especially useful in Patagonia, where conditions can change rapidly.
