Looking at doing 10 - 14 days around Patagonia/surrounding areas in February and looking at maps/forums really struggling to see how to get around/see a fair bit. Will be looking to do one day hikes rather than 4-5 day ones, ideally not on tours as we're doing a decent stretch in S. America. I've seen some people have been there on here. We'll be getting buses round Arg/Chile so good places to base ourselves would be ideal

List of things I want to see around there:

- Fitz Roy Peak
- Perito Moreno Glacier
- Horns of Torres del Paine
- Cordillera Paine

Thanks all
 


Hire the helicopter mate, been there and apart from hiring a fishing boat to do the 'sea voyage' it's the only to really see it.

Not cheap mind

Bit longer than 14 days but you get to see most of above and plenty more.

It's a tour but we did this. The itinerary was really great so you could follow that and just not be in the group.

Also that f***ing tea they all drink is rancid.
 
El Calafete for perito Moreno glacier
El Chalten for Fitzroy.
Puerto Natales for Torres del Paine, though I think you need to camp , check. We camped but it wasn't a camp site iirc
 
Just a heads up, our bus journey from Bariloche to El Calafate took 33 hours. The area is vast and moving between areas can be difficult and requires endurance.
