Why Trust Our Patagonia Travel Guides?
Hey, we’re Skye & Garrett, husband and wife travel bloggers, and we’ve spent over four weeks exploring all over Patagonia, including Torres del Paine in Chile along with El Chaltén and El Calafate in Argentina. We backpacked the full Torres del Paine O-Circuit over eight days, based ourselves in Puerto Natales, and traveled by bus through El Calafate to El Chaltén, and into Los Glaciares to hike and backpack some of the region’s best trails.
As both experienced ultralight backpackers with years of planning multi-day trips, and experienced international travelers, we explored Patagonia in a budget conscious way, on foot and by bus, gaining firsthand insight into campsites, trail logistics, weather, and transportation. Our Patagonia guides, itineraries, and gear lists come directly from real miles and real experience, so you can plan with confidence and make the most of your time in this incredible region.
