Patagonia (Bariloche & El Calafate), Argentina

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Patagonia is a vast, wind-swept region spanning the southern tip of South America, with Argentina's side anchored by iconic destinations like Bariloche and El Calafate. Bariloche sits on the edge of Nahuel Huapi Lake in the Andes, renowned for skiing in winter, trekking and mountain biking in summer, and a Swiss-Alpine town aesthetic with world-class chocolate. El Calafate serves as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park, home to the thundering Perito Moreno Glacier — one of the world's few advancing glaciers and a bucket-list sight. Travellers come to Patagonia for raw, dramatic landscapes, outdoor adventure, and the rare feeling of being truly at the edge of the world.

Argentina: Bariloche & Calafate — Self-Launched 5-Day Patagonia Adventure

A self-launched version of the classic 5-day Bariloche & Calafate circuit — you'll DIY the same lakeside drives, the Llao Llao peninsula viewpoints, the Cerro Campanario chairlift, and the world-famous Perito Moreno Glacier, but you'll book it all yourself for a fraction of the group-tour price. Stay in hostels and budget guesthouses, travel the endless Patagonian steppe on a domestic flight between Bariloche and El Calafate, and use public buses and shared shuttles for the excursions. Costs are approximate, based on backpacker rates, and assume you're an independent solo traveller joining ad-hoc day groups rather than a fixed tour.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Patagonia (Bariloche & El Calafate), Argentina yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
