What if the weather is bad on the day of the trek?
Weather is part of the Patagonian experience. Here it changes every day: it may rain for a while in the morning or the afternoon, there may be a breeze or a strong wind. The treks go ahead anyway. In the months we operate we do not call off treks for bad weather: the date we agree is the date we go. This is not about being careless with safety. We walk this area all year and know it well. Most of the trails are sheltered from the wind; some stretches are more exposed, and our guides, all of them experienced, know how to walk them. A strong wind does not stop you walking in the mountains, and the guide leads you so the day is still a good one. If it starts raining during the hike, we keep going: we do not turn back halfway. Group treks cannot be left halfway; if you want the option to come back early, we recommend a private trek. The only exception is in the months close to winter: if a very heavy snowfall comes that very day, for safety we do not go out and we move the trek to the next day. It happens very rarely.
