· Expedition support team

· Transportation (transfer - shuttle services)
· Hotel and ticket booking
· Horses and porters
· Cook and meal services in the mountains
· Mountain equipment rental.

 

At Patagonia Mágica we also provide Mountain Guides (guiding services).

mountain porters Patagonia ArgentinaIf you like trekking but traveling on your own and do not have that much experience in mountaineering; you may hire a mountain guide, with whom you will get to see some of the most incredible views in Chalten trekking to Paso Marconi, Paso del Viento, the Cerro Huemul Round-trip (all of them on the very edge of the Southern Ice cap field) but just by doing your own logistics, using your own gear and in this way considerably lowering the cost of our regular listed packed trips.

You may also sign up to meet backpackers in the same situation, gathering groups, with people coming from different places and sharing the expenses.
