Trail list · ARGENTINA HIKING TOURS
The 4 best hiking tours in Argentina you can book, with what each costs, how long you are on your feet and who it suits. Number one is there for a reason; start with it.
Cross Argentino Lake by boat, hike for about an hour on Perito Moreno Glacier with crampons, then see the ice from forest trails and boardwalks. English- and Spanish-speaking guides lead small groups, with a guide for about every 10 guests. Pickup from El Calafate may be added, and the national park fee is extra.
“It was awesome!!! Arturo our Glacier guide was excellent!!”
Travel by bus or minivan from Salta through Yala, Volcán, and Tumbaya to Purmamarca and the 4,150-meter Salinas Grandes. Your bilingual guide explains the region, helps with photos, and keeps the day moving. Expect a scenic but very long outing, limited walking, and a short stop on the salt flats.
“Nice day trip - got to see lots of the Salta and Jujuy provinces just from the bus window. Salinas Grandes is well worth visiting (didn't find much to do in Purmamarca). The bus was comfortable (had USB charging points) and the guide (Mauricia I think was the name) was great- gave lots of explanations, organized things well and took care of the group.”
Walk 10 kilometers through Tierra del Fuego forests and valleys to Laguna Esmeralda, following the Esmeralda River with a bilingual guide. Expect mud, changing weather, and 250 meters of ascent. Guides such as Nicolás, Julián, Fernanda, and Manuel are praised for setting a steady pace and explaining local wildlife.
“The tour was amazing. It’s an experience you shouldn’t miss if you’re here. We walked through stunning places. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity.😍”
Leave El Calafate at 7:30 am for El Chaltén, stopping at Estancia La Leona before two gentle walks to Mirador de los Cóndores and Chorrillo del Salto. Guides such as Alexia and Tobias have led past departures, with bilingual commentary and careful pacing. Lunch is included only with the food option.
“We had the best time at this relaxed and informative excursion! Tobias was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and Henry a great bus driver. Our recommendation: bring some snacks along because the lunch break does not start before around 2pm.”
Pick the ground: fire, ice, water or one of the famous names.
