Ushuaia & el calafate adventure - 8 days / 7 nights

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Patagônia Experience for providing an incredible experience in Argentine Patagonia!

The trip was perfect, and I had the privilege of exploring magical places in Ushuaia and El Calafate.

Everything was flawless, from the planning to the execution.

You turned my dream into reality!

Thank you for all the care and the impeccable itinerary!

Good morning,

For the first time in a long while, I didn’t have time to plan my vacation or the trip I had in mind.

The only thing I knew was that I wanted to visit Patagonia, and I only had eight days.

Based on some reviews I found online, I discovered Patagonia Experience and decided to get in touch — otherwise, I might have ended up going nowhere at all.

It was the best investment we could have made: not only did we secure our vacation, but we also got to explore one of the most beautiful places in the world with safety, comfort, and great convenience.

With just one email, a phone call, and a few WhatsApp messages, everything was sorted!

I’m incredibly grateful to Hailton, who was extremely helpful and polite throughout the process. He supported us every step of the way and helped us choose the perfect itinerary — totally in tune with our travel style! We loved it!

Guys, the trip I took with Patagonia Experience Travel was simply AMAZING! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly attentive and took care of every little detail, making sure everything was perfect.

Ushuaia, that little town at the end of the world, is a magical place with breathtaking landscapes and a rich history. The agency organized incredible tours, like the visit to Tierra del Fuego National Park and boat rides along the Beagle Channel. The nature there is jaw-dropping, with towering mountains and wildlife everywhere.

But the highlight of the trip, without a doubt, was visiting the glaciers in El Calafate. The Perito Moreno Glacier is out of this world, with those massive ice walls stretching for kilometers. The agency arranged some really cool tours that let us get super close to the glacier, including ice trekking and boat trips. The beauty of the glaciers is indescribable, with shades of blue and white that constantly change with the sunlight.

Patagonia Experience Travel exceeded all my expectations and gave me a trip full of adventures and stunning scenery. I highly, highly recommend their services to anyone looking to explore the unique beauty of Patagonia.

Congratulations to the entire team!

The trip was excellent — the whole itinerary was very well planned and carried out by all the local agencies with punctuality, professionalism, and care.

The program is great for a family like ours, traveling for the first time and with a bit of an adventurous spirit.

Perito Moreno is truly exceptional — one of the wonders of the natural world. It was incredibly moving to be so close and to walk on it.

My son and I have a demanding work routine and live in different cities.

This trip was a chance for us to spend quality time together in a wonderful experience, connecting with nature!

Landscapes and colors you can only see in Patagonia!

The hike on Perito Moreno and the dinner in the cave with ancient rock art – indescribable! You have to experience it!

Highly recommended!

The Patagonia Experience provided impeccable service from start to finish!

They were quick to listen, understand the group's profile, and tailor the experience accordingly.

Prompt and accurate responses, along with concise yet thorough explanations, turned our trip into a wonderful memory that will forever be part of our family’s story.

No place I've been to so far compares to Patagonia.

It was a unique and very special experience.

I went on hikes, walked with penguins, rode a horse, saw snow, all in the same trip.

It was simply wonderful.

The service from Patagonia Experience was always very attentive, as was the service from the local agencies.

I hope to return soon!

"After a disastrous trip years ago, we banned packages and agencies from our vacations. Years later, necessity and destiny made us try again, and today we are only grateful to Patagonia Experience for the wonderful experience provided in Ushuaia and El Calafate.

We make a special mention of the availability, attention, and friendliness of Hailton and the local hosts, who made the entire planned itinerary a reality.

Success and many accomplishments."

Hello Guilherme, how are you?

The trip to Patagonia will stay in my memory forever.

It’s a fantastic place, with breathtaking and stunning landscapes. Lakes, glaciers, mountains, wildlife, flora, and the Perito Moreno are all uniquely beautiful.

The hikes and tours we did brought us into contact with a one-of-a-kind natural environment that gave me a deep sense of peace.

Thank you so much for your support and for organizing the itinerary.

Everything was impeccable, with excellent reception and guides.

It was totally worth it!!!!!

I would like to thank Guilherme and Jefferson for organizing the trip so carefully, respecting my preferences, and helping me experience such incredible moments in Argentine Patagonia.

After going through a delicate time (with two losses in the family in less than a month), I needed an experience that would allow me to reconnect with nature and awaken my senses.

It was wonderful to breathe fresh air, taste bold flavors, and take in such magnificent landscapes. I met lovely people (some of whom also had their trips organized by Patagônia Experience) and was able to create unforgettable memories.

I will certainly be back. Thank you so much for everything.

Our experience was amazing! Everything 100%!

The idea we had for the trip was exactly that—we just wanted to focus on enjoying every moment, without having to guess the must-see attractions or organize the next hotel... or figure out what to do the next day.

That’s exactly what Patagonia Experience Travel delivers: a trip where all you have to do is enjoy to the fullest, while they take care of all the details and recommendations... oh, and they’re pros at setting you up for unforgettable moments!

We savored every minute, every tour, every suggestion... it's so worth it! This is a top-quality travel service you can trust with your eyes closed!

A big hug to Jeferson and the whole Patagonia Experience team!

Thank you so much for giving us an unforgettable experience!

Our trip to Patagonia will remain in our memories forever!

No photo or description can truly capture the beauty of the region. The sky, lakes, glaciers, mountain range, parks... Breathtaking landscapes and the indescribable feeling of witnessing the pure nature and wildlife up close.

No matter how much we imagined it, nothing compares to seeing it in person—surrounded by adventure, simplicity, warmth, and nature dazzling us at every moment.

We can't even say which tour was the best; all were perfectly organized by Patagonia Experience, with excellent transfers, hotels, and guides.

We loved it and are grateful to the team for all the support and organization.

Traveling through Argentine Patagonia is an unforgettable experience! Especially when you can count on the experience and professionalism of Patagonia Experience!

Jefferson and Guilherme have a way of working that’s not only excellent, in my opinion they are a model for any travel agent. They immediately showed genuine interest in our travel plans and gave us options and tips that helped us make the most of this incredible destination. Even after our return, we’ve kept in touch, which was very rewarding, as they wanted to know how everything went and enjoyed seeing our experiences.

Their partners, both in Ushuaia and El Calafate, have an impressive logistical setup and everything is very well coordinated. In Ushuaia, the groups are small and the service feels almost VIP. In El Calafate, the groups are larger but everything runs just as smoothly—there’s nothing to worry about. We added an extra day in each city and it was totally worth it!

In Ushuaia, the 4x4 trail is guaranteed adventure. Afterward, we went to a beautiful spot and had lunch at the operator’s shelter in the forest—it included a “chorizo” steak that was even better than what we had at a famous restaurant. Enjoy the lake view! The penguin colony is a unique experience. The penguins come very close, they’re curious, and environmental care is taken seriously—you have to see it to believe it. Later, we had lunch at Estancia Harberton, and since the day was beautiful, we took some amazing photos there.

A special mention goes to a guide in Ushuaia named Franco and the owner of the local agency, Nacho. Both are great guys—Franco was with us for three days in Ushuaia, and Nacho... well, he’s a character! A really fun guy. With them, we made the most of our extra day by going to Cabo San Pablo. It’s a longer trip, but incredible—you’ll feel like the last human on Earth when you look out at the horizon from up high. You get a 180º view of the Atlantic, and on the other side of the lighthouse you’ll see the Desdémona cargo ship, which has been stranded for forty years. The timing of the tour is set so you arrive when the tide is low and can take a photo next to the ship’s propeller. I wouldn’t recommend this tour for hyperactive people—it’s meant to be appreciated slowly. Even as someone sedentary like me, I managed to do the trek to the lighthouse. I gave up the car ride and challenged myself—and I have no regrets.

In El Calafate, trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier is an unmissable experience. The views are beyond words! The guides teach you several things, including how to walk on ice using crampons. The time is well distributed so everyone can take photos. The groups don’t mix, so in your photos you’ll only see your group. As I said, their logistics are impressive. And besides countless beautiful pictures, you even get to toast with “glacier ice”—of course, I did that too! Haha.

Estancia Cristina was the last stop on our itinerary and caught us by surprise. What seemed like a quiet tour with nothing too special turned out to be amazing. The boat ride offers stunning landscapes and gets you close to the icebergs. A tip: cooperate with the onboard photographer—everyone wants to take pictures during the ride, but his turn out much better and might be worth buying. The environmental preservation at the estancia is also exemplary, and the color of the river that runs through the property looks just like the Caribbean Sea! It’s a beautiful place, and the traditional lunch, unlike many tourist traps around the world, is one I’d recommend—the food is delicious, and the service is efficient and very friendly. Then, you’ll be taken in a 4x4 up to the Upsala Glacier viewpoint. I felt like I was standing on a mountain on the Moon looking back at Earth. So many contrasts in a single trip—from lake to field, forest to desert, and back to a land that has so much to admire!

Before the trip, I asked myself: could Patagonia really be that beautiful? And yes—it is breathtaking. No camera can truly capture how stunning these landscapes are. Patagonia is definitely one of those rare places in the world.

Jefferson, if we had known in advance that it would be absolutely impossible to properly describe the trip to you after experiencing it, we wouldn't have accepted the challenge. Anything we write will be unfair to Ushuaia, El Calafate, and to our experience there.

There simply aren’t enough positive adjectives to express the greatness of everything we lived. Sensational, wonderful, or spectacular are small words to describe each of the magical moments the "end of the world (where life begins)" revealed to us.

Every tour and hotel you recommended was perfect, and we will certainly return to explore other destinations nearby (hopefully soon).

We will never forget Patagonia, nor the team of "magicians" from Patagonia Experience!

Sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you for everything!

Hello Ruth, the trip was great and everything went very well!

Your recommendations for the tours were truly the best, and we were also very lucky with the weather. Both tours in Calafate had sunny weather, and the views were fantastic.

In Ushuaia, the weather wasn’t great, but it didn’t interfere with the tours. The moments we had to walk were rain-free. We experienced negative temperatures in Ushuaia and even a bit of snow.

It was definitely worth it, and I thank you so much!

Dear Jefferson and Eduardo,

We are leaving Perito Moreno after a visit that once again enchanted us, completing the series of glaciers that began in Chile aboard the Australis.

These visits, interspersed with small but unforgettable adventures, made this trip a highlight in the series we have undertaken throughout our lives. Very interesting overall, very well organized and executed.

It will remain in our memories!

Good morning, Patagonia Experience. How are you?

The trip was amazing — we really enjoyed Patagonia.

First of all, we’d like to highlight that the planned itinerary was very well designed and allowed us to explore several lesser-known places in the region, which we wouldn't have visited without your guidance.

Another point worth mentioning is the professionalism of the agencies and guides who accompanied us. Everyone treated us very well, were punctual, organized, and showed great expertise in their roles.

We really liked the hotels we stayed at — namely, Arakur and Imago.

We also really enjoyed the restaurants you recommended, especially Kaupe and Don Pichon.

I’d like to go ahead and say that next year we’ll be returning to Patagonia with you again — but this time, in winter.

Big hug, and congratulations on the excellent work!

Hello Guilherme, how are you?

We would like to thank you for the excellent trip we had! Your help was essential for our journey!

Thank you very much!

We would also like to share our testimonial... even though it's already been two years since our trip!

Our thanks to the Patagonia Experience team for providing us with a magnificent tour!

We traveled with all the details clearly explained, and with full support and attention from Guilherme Barth, who was especially patient with our questions!

We enjoyed wonderful tours, good hotels, great support from the local teams, and we even managed to disembark and visit Cape Horn!

We chose a 13-day itinerary, which allowed us to explore from Ushuaia to El Calafate.

Your team's support was essential to the success of our trip!

We plan to return to that region soon, and we will definitely count on your valuable assistance again!

Thank you so much for all your help!

It was an amazing Patagonia Experience!

Our trip to Patagonia was unforgettable!

First, because of the beauty of the place (no photo can truly capture its full beauty), and second, because of how well the tours and transfers were organized.

The guides were excellent; the airport transfers were private and fast; the tours were very well planned (we were surprised by the structure of Los Glaciares National Park).

We had little time—it was a short trip—so everything needed to be well organized (and it truly was “well organized,” and our time was optimized).

We went to El Calafate, and on our way back, we were already planning to visit El Chaltén or Torres del Paine next year.

We will definitely count on Patagonia Experience again. It was amazing!

Here is the correct English translation of your text without any bold formatting:

Little can be said about a photo in nature... and what a nature it is... representing the union of strength, the harmony of movement, the presence of silence that manifests peace both within and without, in a unique landscape of beauty, where respect transforms into love with each stroke of the oar touching the water... a magical place to celebrate the birthday of the one I chose to share my life with!

We will return! Because it's truly worth exploring more of this city... at the end of the world... that feels more like the beginning of it...

Thank you so much for the experience you created. The trip was amazing. In addition to the charms of Patagonia, your partners in Ushuaia and El Calafate are great—super friendly, punctual, and attentive. We also made great use of the valuable tips from people who truly know the places.

The tours should serve as an example for other destinations due to the excellent structure and organization. Everything that was promised/contracted was delivered.

Until next time!!!

Good evening, Guilherme and Jeferson.

It was amazing! We were blown away by Ushuaia—it was truly incredible!

Beautiful nature, welcoming people—we felt really great there!

Everything went perfectly, nothing went wrong, the organization was outstanding—congratulations to you both!
The restaurant tips were awesome too!

We really enjoyed all the tours, but the ones we loved most were the more rustic ones!

The 4x4 ride was fantastic, the Andean silence with the sleds too! Cerro Castor was really cool! We really liked Tierra Turismo and the team who helped us there, especially Franco, Javier, and Marcelo—all very polite and down-to-earth! Not to mention, super professional and very knowledgeable about the region!

I think if we were to do it again, we’d go for something even more rustic. Now that we know the infrastructure Ushuaia offers, we’d probably stay in a small cabin more on our own instead of at Cumbres del Martial. But the hotel was also an amazing choice—everyone was super polite, especially Marianella and Belém. And being far from the city center, surrounded by nature, was moving.

I can only thank you both for everything you provided us.

I’ll definitely recommend you and reach out again for a future adventure!

Here’s our photo at Tierra del Fuego National Park.

Thank you so much,

Big hug and see you next time!
