Cancellation policy

The percentages in the table above are of the full trip price, not of what you’ve paid at the time of booking.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of booking receive a full refund on all plans, including booking fees and insurance. After the 48-hour window, your refund depends on your selected protection plan and when you cancel. Core and Premium plans extend your cancellation rights beyond the Standard policy:

  • With Core, a covered reason gets you 75% of your trip cost back — even the day before you go.
  • With Premium, a covered reason gets you 100% of your trip cost back — and any other reason gets you 75%, right up to the day you leave.
What counts as a covered reason
  • Sudden illness or injury — yours, a travel companion’s, or an immediate family member’s, confirmed by a doctor
  • Death of a traveler or an immediate family member
  • A natural disaster affecting your destination or your departure point
  • A government travel advisory against travel to your destination

Changing your mind isn’t a covered reason. Premium is the only plan that covers that. Documentation is required for all insurance claims.

Everything the travel insurance covers

Both plans include travel insurance through Redpoint Travel Protection. Core insures 75% of your trip cost; Premium insures 100%.

Maximum per person:

  • Trip cancellation — up to 100% of your trip cost
  • Cancel for any reason — up to 75% of your trip cost (Premium only)
  • Trip interruption — 150% of the trip cost limit
  • Trip delay — $200 a day, $1,000 max
  • Itinerary change — $250
  • Single occupancy supplement — up to 100% of trip cost
  • Missed connection — $1,000
  • Travel inconvenience — $250 each, $750 max
  • Pet return — $1,000 per pet
  • Baggage and personal effects — $2,500, max $300 an item
  • Baggage delay — $600, after 12 hours
  • Baggage delivery — $100 per trip
  • Emergency medical expenses — $100,000
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation — up to $1,000,000

These are maximums. What a claim actually pays depends on what you can document and on the policy’s exclusions — pre-existing conditions and undeclared activities among them. We’ll send the full policy wording with your confirmation.

  • The Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre trek is a premium, all-inclusive hiking experience. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included, and on rainy days, you'll have your meals in cozy dining domes. To simplify the logistics of the trip and allow you to hike light,  your guide will also provide all the necessary camping equipment, which will await you at each campsite (you can bring a thin liner if you want to).

    • Start the hike in El Chaltén, going up to Poincenot campsite through the beautiful Lenga forest. Around 2.5 miles from the town, you will reach Laguna Capri. Here, the trail gets more flat until you reach Poincenot after walking another 2.5 miles. From there, hike up to Laguna de Los Tres at the foot of Cerro Chaltén—also known as Fitz Roy— and enjoy the amazing views of the massif.

      Distance: 5 miles (8 km) to camp, +1.5 miles (2.5 km) to Laguna de los Tres
      Elevation gain: +1.312 ft (400 m), +1.312 ft/ 400 m to L3

      A view of El Chalten in Argentina

    • Depending on the weather and the seasonal regulations of Los Glaciares National Park, start the day by walking to Piedras Blancas Glacier viewpoint or Laguna Sucia—a lower lake at the foot of the massif. Hike by the Madre and Hija Lakes to cross to the next valley, where the great peak of Cerro Torre sleeps among the clouds.

      Distance: 9.3 miles (15 km)
      Elevation gain: +985 ft (300 m), -650 ft (200 m)

      A hiker near the Cerro Torre massif

    • Start the day by going to Maestri’s viewpoint at the far end of Laguna Torre to have a closer look at the glaciers and Torre’s massif. After taking down the campsite, you and your group will head back to El Chaltén, walking for 6 miles and stopping at the last viewpoint of the massif. This trail is the flattest part of this trip.

      Distance: 8 miles (13 km)
      Elevation gain: +985 ft (300 m), –1.640 ft (500 m)

      What exactly will you need to carry during the tour? You will carry your clothing, trail food, and personals. The tent, sleeping bag, mattress, and camping gear is already set up at the camps.

      Your guide will provide the tents, inflatable mattresses, and sleeping bags. Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Your guide will send you a detailed equipment list after booking.

    • All mandatory gear can be rented if you don’t have your own. You can rent:

      Rental locations are in El Chaltén and should be picked up the night prior to your outing. If you need to rent gear, let us know and we can help make arrangements.

    • Group sizes:

        • The max client-to-guide ratio is 6:1. If joining alone, you will be placed in a group of your peers. 
        • The Fitz Roy & Cerro Torre trek can operate even with just one person signed up.

      Treks can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.

      Min. age requirements:

        • If you are older than 18, you’re good to go.
        • Minors younger than 18 may be permitted to join the hike on a case-by-case basis, but must be in the presence of a parent or legal guardian.

      If your group has hikers under the age of 18, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

    • To get to El Chaltén, most people fly into Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From there, take a local flight to Comandante Armando Tola International Airport in southern Patagonia. Once there, you’re a three-hour bus ride away from El Chaltén.

      Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet, which will usually be your hotel accommodation. The guide will choose the appropriate terrain dependent on conditions and the ability of the group.

    • We highly recommend that you cover all your bases with insurance. To make your booking and traveling experience as carefree as possible, you’ll be offered to simply insure your trip with Redpoint at checkout.

      Redpoint—the official 57hours insurance partner—tailors protection packages for adventure travel, offering a comprehensive travel program, even in remote locations! Trip cancellation, natural disasters, pandemic coverage, medical evacuation, primary medical expenses—regardless of the travel interruption that may happen, Redpoint will have you covered.

    • Argentina’s local currency is called Argentine Peso (ARS). There are two different exchange rates to buy pesos called “official” rate and “blue” rate. This creates a confusing situation in which products can have an absolutely different price.

      Since the country’s government introduced tough currency change restrictions, alternative ways of exchange have emerged. You can exchange your money at an official outlet (banks or legal currency exchange offices) for one price; or you can go to one of many shops, hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, and car rentals and exchange money at the “blue” rate—which will put many more pesos in your pocket.

      If you pay with credit card, debit card or money transfer, the rate applied will be the “official” rate. Using credit or debit will cost you almost double the price that you can get by paying in cash.

      Taking plenty of cash contradicts the usual advice to tourists travelling abroad, but many have been doing just that to take advantage of the “blue” rates. Ask your local guides for advice on exchanging money.
