Chile Hiking Tours

Things to know about this trip I hope will help others (I did the trip in Feb 2026): - follow the packing list in the contiki itinerary PLUS BRING THE FOLLOWING WHICH ARE NOT IN THE CURRENT PACKING LIST: RAIN PANTS, GLOVES, BEANIE AND THERMALS - Hiking poles can be rented for super cheap. I would not have packed them and saved the luggage space if I knew beforehand

This trip was amazing! Everything about the itinerary worked well. The included experiences were some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The add ons were great as well. The Trip Manager was great. Very organized and willing to help when needed. The small group size was perfect. Patagonia can be a difficult place to get to but well worth the journey once you are there!

My Patagonia trip was a lifetime experience, made even better by traveling with a great group. Together, we explored beautiful trails, shared meals, and encouraged each other through windy hikes and long days. Being with the group made every moment more fun from spotting wildlife to reaching incredible viewpoints with mountains, glaciers, and bright-blue lakes all around us. We laughed a lot, learned from our guide, and enjoyed the peaceful feeling of being surrounded by nature. The scenery was stunning, the company was wonderful, and the trip left me with memories I’ll never forget.

This trip was an amazing way to see Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia. There were two full day hikes, one to base Torres and one to base Mt Fitzroy. Both hikes were about 15 miles round trip with 3000 to 4000 feet of elevation gain. Be prepared for these two full days of hiking. However, some of the group was able to hike faster while some could hike slower as there were three guides on each hike. The trip manager and guides were all friendly and helpful making for an enjoyable experience. Other activities included glacier viewing via boat, kayaking, and horseback riding which made for a well rounded trip. The weather is unpredictable so make sure you’re prepared for wind, rain, snow and sun possibly all in one day. This was the most active Contiki I have been apart of, and was a perfect change of pace from the usual city focused Contiki's. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to be in nature, experience Chilean and Argentinian culture, and have an active week.

The itinerary is excellent. Tough walks due to the steep and rocky terrain but well rewarded by the scenery and sense of achievement. The accommodation was some of the best I have had with Explore - great location, clean and comfortable, staff all friendly and helpful. Delicious food. Gluten free diet catered for very well. Above all,, our tour leader, Duane, really made this trip. Professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, approachable and fun … he worked so hard to make sure everyone enjoyed the week. Thanks Duane!

We had a fantastic experience working with Florencia and Mery from the team! From the very beginning, they were true partners in helping us craft an itinerary that felt personalized and well-balanced. Communication throughout the planning process (and during the trip itself) was also excellent. They were always responsive and proactive, and we especially appreciated the valuable updates they provided while we were traveling. For example, when a transportation strike unexpectedly happened during our trip, they stepped in to help us navigate the situation and adjust our plans smoothly. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, well-supported travel planning!
