2025 Patagonia Non-Hiking Photo Tour

EL CHALTÉN & TORRES DEL PAINE IN THE FALL

Patagonia is one of the most beautiful regions on Earth. Its massive glaciers, towering peaks, turquoise lakes, and pristine Patagonian forests make for some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes to photograph. Additionally, it’s home to stunning wildlife like pumas, guanacos, condors, the Magellanic woodpecker, and more!

Join us to photograph all of these highlights while we explore Chile and Argentina together. If you’ve ever wanted to photograph the wonders of Patagonia without having to do strenuous hikes, this photography tour will be right down your alley.

We are running this Chilean and Argentine Patagonia photo tour in April 2025, during the best time of year to photograph the spectacular Patagonia forests’ fall colors and when the parks are less crowded.

The places are well known but CTA also had some additional vantage points. Prince and Francesco always had a can do attitude. Nothing seemed too much. I always felt well cared for. And the level of detail in planning and follow up is especially impressive.

The Patagonia Photo Tour with Prince and Francesco was wonderful. I have had several tours with Prince before and he has always taken good care of me (and the others in our group of course). Both he and Francesco are always there to lend help and photo advise.

We will stay in some of the best hotels in the area and close to the best locations so we can eat and sleep comfortably while being able to shoot the main photography locations in Patagonia.

We will personally help you capture the best possible images and show you the best techniques to shoot any subject in different light conditions: sunrise, sunset, midday, twilight, night, etc.

Is this Patagonia Photo Tour the Right Trip for me?

If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Patagonia, but were set back because of the challenging hikes and camping in the cold, we created this trip to give you the best experience without compromising on the beauty. Patagonia is a common bucket list destination for most photographers because of it’s breathtaking landscapes. In the past, visiting this area meant hiking and camping; and while some iconic spots are only accessible through hikes, there are plenty more that have become accessible by car or short walks.

However, we’ll be visiting and photographing many locations, some of which require walking on uneven paths; we’ve also scheduled some short optional hikes to reach a couple of incredible viewpoints. Additionally, we’ll also spend a significant amount of time driving from one location to another, which can also be exhausting. Even without the camping and long hikes, being in good physical shape is fundamental so that you can enjoy the experience.

2024 EL CHALTÉN & TORRES DEL PAINE PHOTO TOUR ITINERARY

The itinerary for our Patagonia photo tour can be flexible. Here, the weather is very changeable and we can experience all four seasons in one day. However, the weather is also one of the best things about Patagonia, since it creates the most dramatic conditions you’ll ever see in the wilderness.

As we know the area very well, our goal will be to photograph the Patagonian landscapes in the best possible conditions, depending on the weather forecast.

We will try to make the most of the light, especially during the sunrises, when the light creates a feast for the eyes by turning the peaks red and orange.

DAY 1: Argentine Patagonia Photo Tour

This Patagonia photo tour will begin at El Calafate in Argentina, where we’ll meet with the rest of the group.

During this first day, we’ll do the welcome speech and briefing. We’ll also do a gear review to make sure we are familiar with our cameras and have the right settings. You’ll then have time to rest from the trip, before going out for our first group dinner.

It’s important to be well-rested because the remaining days will be filled with activities!

DAY 2: Patagonia Photo Tour

On the second day of our Patagonia photography tour, after breakfast, we will leave El Calafate and drive to our first photography spot: Perito Moreno Glacier!

This spectacular mass of ice spreads along 121 square miles and it’s one of the few glaciers in the world in an equilibrium state, with no major changes in its size during the past centuries.

This massive glacier towers above the turquoise waters of an enormous lagoon in Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s one of the most impressive glaciers in the world. We will spend the morning shooting this gigantic sharp ice field under the fall colors from different viewpoints.

After our Perito Moreno photo excursion, we will then drive to El Chalten to begin the next part of our journey.

The drive takes about 4.5 hours to the world-famous village of El Chaltén. Just an hour before we arrive in El Chaltén, we’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the iconic peaks of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre in the distance; these two peaks will be our main photography backgrounds for the next three days.

DAY 3: Patagonia Photo Tour with Camping

On the third day of our Patagonia photography tour, we will wake up early to capture the sunrise at a location near the village. After a short 5-minute walk, we’ll reach our photography spot, from where we’ll be able to see the iconic Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre with the beautiful morning light.

After breakfast at the hotel, we will embark on another adventure to Lago del Desierto. This beautiful lake is located right outside the national park and offers a unique view of the Fitz Roy massif. We’ll take a boat tour to explore the lake and enjoy its views.

On the way to the lake, we’ll make multiple stops to take photos. Once we exit the national park, we’ll be able to fly drones as this area is outside the National Park. The aerial views from this area are just stunning.

To end the day, we’ll make a final stop at a couple of little waterfalls to shoot the last light of the day before returning to our hotel.

DAY 4: Patagonia Photo Tour 

On the fourth day of our Patagonia non-hiking photo tour, we’ll photograph the sunrise at the beautiful Mirador de los Cóndores, very close to town. After a moderate optional walk, we’ll reach this beautiful spot overlooking the town of El Chalten with the breathtaking peaks in the background.

After the morning session, we’ll drive to Puerto Bahía del Túnel to take some daytime images with little icebergs coming from Viedma glacier, with Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre in the background. We’ll also take this time to scout for some night photos in case the sky is clear. This spot is one of the best for night photography in the area, thanks to the hills that block the light pollution coming from the town.

After returning to the hotel and getting some rest, we’ll head to the next photo location, where we’ll photograph the last lights of the day: Chorrillo del Salto. This beautiful waterfall close to El Chalten can be reached after a 10 minute walk on flat terrain. Here we’ll use the foliage to frame this stunning subject.

If the sky is clear, we’ll do a short astrophotography session back in Puerto Bahía del Túnel to end the day.

DAY 5: Patagonia Photo Tour

On the fifth day of our Patagonia photo tour, we’ll say goodbye to the charming town of El Chalten and start to make our way to the Chilean part of this trip.

Before we leave Argentina, we’ll make one final stop at the Cañón del Río de las Vueltas to take in the last view of the majestic peaks of Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy, which have been part of our backgrounds for the last few days.

On the way to Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, we’ll see wildlife such as guanacos and rheas. The drive will be long, and it includes a border crossing, but we’ll make a couple of stops for lunch and to use the bathroom.

The closer we get to our final destination, the more impressive the scenery will become. We will stay at one of the best hotels in Torres del Paine, with stunning views of the incredible Los Cuernos mountains. We can even take amazing pictures from the hotel’s doorstep!

A few minutes before arriving at the hotel, we’ll stop at the Mirador de Río Serrano to take the first images of this area’s stunning mountains.

DAYS 6-9: Chilean Patagonia Photo Tour

During the next three days, we’ll have the flexibility to shoot in different locations across Torres del Paine National Park during the best light according to the weather forecast, which we will check daily. We’ll access our photo spots via small drives and short walks.

There are endless possibilities to shoot here: beautiful reflections of Los Cuernos, Laguna Amarga, Laguna Azul, the Dead Forest, turquoise lakes, waterfalls, many panoramic views of the mountains, colorful autumn foliage, and even seascapes.

Also, we’ll spend one of the days doing a Patagonia Puma tracking Photo Tour. Pumas are elusive animals and it’s not guaranteed that we’ll see them, but with the help of our professional puma tracker who knows their habitat and understand their behavior, we’ll have higher chances of seeing them. This area in the Patagonia is the best place in the world to witness this beautiful feline. In addition, we’ll probably see other animals, such as guanacos, condors, rheas, armadillos, foxes, and many species of birds.

On our 9th day of the trip, after our last sunrise at Mirador de Los Cuernos, we’ll head back to El Calafate in Argentina, where we’ll spend our last night.

Photography trip to Argentina and Chile Patagonia region

MONEY

The currency in Argentina is the Argentine peso (ARS), and in Chile, it’s the Chilean peso (CLP). We highly recommend getting Chilean pesos in your home country. Credit and debit cards are accepted in most places in Patagonia, but there are still many businesses that only take cash.

For Argentina, most business take credit cards. We still recommend having a small amount like $100-200 in cash. Local banks in foreign countries don’t usually offer ARS, so we recommend exchaning this amount once you are in El Calafate (our hotel offers ARS in exchange of USD and EUR).

DOCUMENTATION

People from most countries, including the Americas, Europe, Eastern Asia, Israel, Australia, and New Zealand, don’t need a tourist visa to visit Argentina and Chile for trips that are shorter than 90 days.

Please check if you need a visa to visit Argentina and Chile if you live outside those areas. We can help you with this process.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The accommodation on this Patagonia Photo Tour is double occupancy in shared bedrooms with two individual beds and a private bathroom. We also offer single occupancy rooms in all hotels on the trip for an extra $1,200. If you are interested in this, please let us know on the signup form below, since the single occupancy rooms are subject to availability.

In Argentina, we are staying in top-rated hotels close to the best locations, where you can see marvelous views of the Patagonian Mountains.

    • In El Calafate we’ll stay in Hotel Kau Kaleshen, at a one-minute walk to the main street, where you can find shops and restaurants.
    • On the nights in El Chalten, we’ll stay in the Chalten Suites Hotel, the best hotel in town, where we’ll be able to rest after our photography sessions.
    • Finally, in Torres del Paine, we’ll stay at Morrena Lodge; a beautiful rustic hotel, embedded in nature, right on the border of the national park.
HIKING

This is not a hiking photo tour; however, most of the locations require short walks on uneven terrain to reach the best views.

There are only two locations that require a short hike. Mirador de los Cóndores in El Chaltén is 1.5 miles in distance (round trip) and around a 300-ft elevation gain, and Mirador de los Cuernos in Chile which is a 3.5 mile hike and 200 ft elevation gain. Both of these hikes are optional.

Days can be long depending on the weather conditions. On good days, we might spend most of the day out photographing different locations.

Being in good physical shape is fundamental to enjoying this experience to the fullest. Consider bringing hiking poles to help with your balance. 

LOCAL GUIDES AND TOURS

All the local guides in both the Argentine and Chilean parts of this Patagonia photo tour are included.

We have also included the entrance fees for Perito Moreno and Torres del Paine National Park.

What makes this Patagonia Photo Tour unique?

Immersive

You'll be absorbed by the magic of Patagonia and have an intense experience that is conducive to learning and taking the best images.

Intimate

Our photo trek is limited to small groups with a ratio of no more than six students per instructor. This is also an important factor for providing the attentive instruction you need during the tour.

Exclusive

We will photograph some hidden gems that we have discovered while exploring in the past and include the best locations that are accessible without long hikes.

Dedicated

We will discuss your goals before the tour so we can create a dedicated instruction plan for you. It doesn’t matter your age or skills; we will design your plan and provide you with materials before, during, and after the workshop so the learning process is not limited to just the tour.

Proven

We have spent years designing national and international photo tours with successful results, helping photographers with everything from the simple task of getting off Auto to the ambitious goal of capturing complex images. Dan’s online courses have also helped more than 400 photographers over the last few years.

Unforgettable

Beyond the photography, our photography tours help build strong bonds that last forever. After our trip, you’ll feel like you have been with a group of friends rather than on a standard tour. We are thankful to have plenty of repeat clients who keep traveling and learning with us.

Frequent questions about our Patagonia Photo tour

Whether you are experienced or just starting out in photography, you are welcome to join us, and I am convinced that you will progress very fast. Together, we will get you back home with a greater and deeper knowledge of many photography topics.

Once you sign up for the workshop, we will discuss your skills and goals for this tour, and I’ll organize a teaching plan so you can make the most of this experience. You’ll also receive access to Dan’s Capture the Milky Way course so you can start preparing your astrophotography before the trip.

This is not a hiking photo tour; however, most of the locations require short walks on uneven terrain to reach the best views. Additionally, days can be long depending on the weather conditions. On good days we might spend most of the day out photographing different locations.

Being in good physical shape is fundamental to enjoy this experience to the fullest. Consider bringing hiking poles to help with your balance.

There is no age limit to join this Patagonia photo tour.

We do recommend that participants older than 70 years old do a physical examination with a primary care provider (PCP) to make sure that they are physically prepared for this experience.

Non-photographer companions are welcome to join the tour, and they need to book a spot under the same price and conditions as any other participant. (We don’t allow non-participant companions tagging along with the group). We have had plenty of non-photographer companions over the years and all of them enjoyed an amazing experience. As long as they enjoy nature, beautiful landscapes, and are a bit patient with the schedules of a photo tour, joining the trip can be a great experience regardless of the shooting.

Unfortunately, flying drones is not allowed in any of the national parks that we will visit; however, we will also visit some spots outside the national parks which could provide a good opportunity for some aerial photography.

Both of your guides are experienced drone photographers and will assist you with your drone photography; however, we are not responsible for any accidental damage or fines if you fly it in restricted areas.

Our Happy Students!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with and help countless photographers over the last years:

SarangP
My wife and I were on a tour to Patagonia with Prince and Francesco in April 2024. She is not a photographer but wanted to join the tour and enjoy Patagonia. Prince and Francesco made sure that she got photo opportunities and helped her with the basics to get her going. She now wants to start using a mirrorless and start shooting! Thats the best compliment that any tour leader can get. Overall Prince and Francesco made sure that everyone in the group was looked after well, helped with capturing the best moments while photographing and helping with with anything and everything that came up through the tour.

I recently returned from a fabulous 2 week trip in Patagonia with Capture the Atlas. Our leaders, Prince and Francesco were phenomenal. They were always helpful and I learned so much in a very short period of time. Patagonia, and this tour, exceeded my expectations. The group was wonderful and the landscapes were breathtaking. I particularly enjoyed the hiking and camping part of this photo trip. I will definitely travel with CTA again! Thanks for an amazing adventure.

'Fall in Patagonia' was my first landscape photography tour and I could not have chosen a better tour group than Capture the Atlas. The breathtaking landscape is all there, but without the expert and thoughtful guidance of Prince and Francesco; this trip would not be enjoyed to the fullest. This tour was a success in all parts. The days and itineraries are well planned. The best part was the members of the tour group. A diverse group of people who did not know each other, but made friends very quickly. This was the most important reason that I will never forget about this trip.

I've participated in multiple photography workshops, but this one stands out as my favorite. Right from the start, the organization, guidance on essentials, and booking assistance were invaluable. The diversity within the group, spanning ages 26 to 75, as well as various cultures and nationalities, blended seamlessly. Throughout the two weeks, there was harmony, with everyone supporting each other. The weather and scenery were breathtaking. Prince and Francesco were exceptional photography guides, offering expertise, keen composition insights, and generosity with their knowledge. Their dedication made the trip truly memorable.

An incredible experience with leaders David Aguilar and Prince Berkoh. We had a very fun group. The fall colors were at their peak, and we were taken to some excellent spots for landscape photography, especially at sunrise and sunset. The camping set up was first rate, with very accommodating porters, guides and cooks. When the weather wasn't cooperative, our editing walk-throughs with David and Prince were very helpful. Their guidance when on photo shoots was excellent, helping us to see what the possibilities were and how to capture them. I definitely want to do more trips with this organization!

What an incredible adventure. I went with the group on the Patagonia tour in April 2023. This had to be one of the most incredible tours I have been on. The accommodations at the hotels were great and scenic. I particularly loved the hiking and backpacking of the 1st segment. The overall experience will forever be one of my favorites. I can't begin to recommend Dan and his group enough. My guides Prince and David were very helpful. I highly recommend Capture the Atlas.

Patagonia is one of the most spectacular and photogenic mountain regions in the world for good reason; here, you can see everything from towering peaks and enormous glaciers to glittering rivers and waterfalls, and some of the most dramatic light in the Andes.

During the fall, the forests feature a unique display of colors, which adds the perfect touch to any landscape photo. Here, you can also expect to see some of the darkest skies in South America when the wind blows away the clouds.

We have crafted this Patagonia photo tour so you can visit, explore, and photograph all the best locations in this magical region during the best moments of light. All our guides and team will focus on you and your photography during this special trip.

Are you ready for this adventure?!
