This expedition requires above-average physical fitness. No technical skills are required, and first-time trekkers are welcome. While the elevation is not much of a factor on this trip, the highest elevation you will reach on your trek is 3,838 ft, daily mileage can range from 6-13 miles and 5-10 trekking hours per day. Taking training hikes that mimic the mileage and amount of time you will be trekking in Patagonia is recommended. We always recommend that travelers break in their hiking boots before the expedition. If you would like to guarantee a private departure please contact us for rates.

We are doing our best to offer increased flexibility during this time, and will refer to OneSeed Expeditions’ change and cancellation policy. Any traveler may reschedule their expedition, no questions asked, with a minimum of 45 days advance notice. Expeditions that include flights and other non-refundable elements are subject to the fees imposed by the partner airline in addition to any other nonrefundable costs not to exceed $300. Trip credit is valid for 12 months from the date of change and may be applied to any future posted expedition dates for the originally purchased expedition. You do not have to travel within those 12 months, only pick a date, subject to availability. As for cancellations, if you cancel 45 days or more prior to your scheduled departure, you will be reimbursed the full amount less $1,000.00 per traveler. If you cancel 30 - 44 days prior to your scheduled departure, you will be reimbursed the full amount less the non-refundable deposit of $1,000 per traveler or 50% of the total value of your expedition, whichever is greater. Within 30 days of your scheduled expedition, your adventure is nonrefundable.

Yes, the single supplement fee for this trip is $150. Please let OneSeed know that you would like to request single rooms.

Talk to your physician and follow recommended CDC guidelines.

The water along the trail is safe to drink, whether that's straight from the tap or off a glacier.

Food on the trail is rich in carbohydrates and protein since you'll be burning calories like a champ. Breakfast may include items such as oatmeal, toast, jam/cheese, tea, and coffee. Lunch is usually a sandwich (with a vegetarian option), fruit, snack bar, and some chocolate. Dinners may include red or white meat / a vegetarian option, pasta, potatoes, rice, veggies, soup, and dessert.

OneSeed is able to accommodate most allergies and dietary preferences. Please let evo and OneSeed know of any restrictions upon booking. We recommend any vegan travelers bring extra protein bars.

On the trail, you will be sleeping in tents and a basic mountain lodge on the last night with shared dorm-style bunk beds and shared bathroom facilities.

Tents, sleeping bags and sleeping pads are included and your guide will carry them for you. Please bring a backpacking pillow, a sleeping bag liner (optional) and a headlamp with extra batteries.

You are responsible for carrying your backpack during the entirety of your trip. OneSeed guides will carry group gear like tents, sleeping pads, and cookware.

At OneSeed they believe that adventure and entrepreneurial hustle go hand in hand. Whether you’re trekking through Patagonia or taking the next step towards financial independence, it’s an endeavor that takes dedication and risk. That’s why when you travel with OneSeed, 10% of your trip cost is invested in local entrepreneurs - empowering our fellow risk-takers to launch or expand their business. OneSeed partners with local microfinance institutions (MFIs) in the countries where they operate. They invest 10 percent of our total revenue in these partners, who in turn lend this seed capital to small-scale entrepreneurs as collateral-free, shared liability microcredit. Entrepreneurs repay the loan over the course of the loan term as they launch or expand their business.

Tips are always appreciated. Averages below are based on per person recommendations. Head Guide: $6-8/day Assistant Guide: $2-5/day

Weather in Patagonia is always unpredictable which is why we recommend a slightly more comprehensive packing list. A sunny warm day can turn on a dime and end in rain or snow. It never hurts to prep for both!

We generally cap our group departure dates at around 10, though some may be slightly larger depending on the expedition. We guarantee all group departure dates whether there are 1 or 10 travelers signed up. We recommend asking our team how many people are in your group when you sign up for a departure date. Keep in mind, travelers may join or cancel at the last minute! If you are the only one in your group, we are happy to work with you on changing your travel dates if no deposits have been made.

We always ask that you stay safe on the trail by drinking plenty of water, eating well, and communicating openly with your guide about any issues that arise. Be sure to take care of your belongings, be respectful of your travel companions, practice your Spanish with people you meet along the way, and respect the natural landscape that you're exploring.

While it is not required, we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, theft and/or accidental damage while traveling. We recommend World Nomads.
