Southern Patagonia · Argentina
Mountain days, with room for the road
The six-day default connects El Chaltén with El Calafate. Give the main hikes their own days, and shorten or omit Túnel / Toro on the transfer day. Big Ice is an alternative full-day glacier experience, not a quick extra beside the walkways.
Activity time is not journey time
The source walking allowances exclude approaches, breaks and onward travel. If your flight, bus or trail takes longer, remove an outing or add a night.
Choose your mountain days →Confirm the exact connection
A confirmed boat, bus or flight needs time for check-in and the onward connection. A named stop or hotel does not include that transport.

The complete saved default and actual overnights are below. Day-specific advice is withheld if the duration, region, stop order or stay changes.
