Porter in El Chaltén

A porter carries your agreed gear and supplies on a hike or to a campsite or base camp. We also set up tents and camp equipment when camping support is arranged. You carry the personal items you need during the walk; we confirm what stays with you before departure.

One porter carries a maximum total load of 20 kg (about 44 lb), including their own personal, safety, food and overnight equipment. Your cargo allowance is lower and depends on the route and number of nights. We confirm it in writing and weigh and accept the load before departure.

We quote for your route, dates, load, number of porters and days or nights. Camp setup, return carries, food arrangements and base-camp stays also affect the quote. Send those details through the porter inquiry form or WhatsApp so we can price the service you need.

We carry and set up the tents and camping equipment agreed for your trip. Tell us what you already have and what you need to rent. We can help with food options, including cooked meals when arranged in advance. Rental equipment, ingredients, cooking and fuel are confirmed in your quote.

We support the main hiking and camping destinations around El Chaltén, including Laguna de los Tres, Poincenot, Laguna Capri, Laguna Torre, De Agostini and Loma del Pliegue Tumbado. Remote and expedition destinations are listed separately above and are coordinated with an appropriate mountain guide. The actual carry depends on access, conditions and the agreed route.

Yes. You can book a carry for an independent day hike, an overnight camp, selected trail sections or several days. We can also deliver gear to an agreed location. Meeting points, timing and any collection or return carry are agreed before the trip.

We meet you at the agreed location, check the equipment and weight, and confirm where it is going. You can accompany your gear to the drop-off. If you will meet it later, we agree on the handoff plan and can arrange delivery photos and GPS location details.

Base-camp stays can be arranged in advance, including agreed equipment storage, weather updates and communication with climbers. We confirm the staffing, communication method and check-in plan with your mountain guide before departure.

Yes, we can discuss carrying climbing, camping and camera equipment. Share an item list, approximate weight, dimensions and any special handling requirements before booking. We agree on suitable packing and handling for your particular load.

Guiding is arranged separately unless your quote includes it. A porter service covers the carrying and camp work agreed for your trip. High-mountain and expedition support is always coordinated with an appropriate mountain guide.

Contact us as soon as you know. We review changes against porter availability, the route and current conditions, then confirm any revised arrangement. We cannot promise that a different date or destination will be available.
