Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Our Porter Services?
What is a porter?
How much weight can a porter carry?
Each porter can typically carry up to 15-20 kg (33-44 lbs) safely. The exact weight limit may vary depending on trail difficulty and specific trip requirements, ensuring both the porter’s and client’s safety and comfort.
Which trails or areas can porters support?
Porters are available to assist on any trail around El Chaltén, including popular hikes like Laguna de los Tres, Loma del Pliegue Tumbado, and remote base camps for climbers. We customize locations based on your expedition needs.
Can a porter stay at a base camp with my gear?
Yes, porters can stay at designated base camps to monitor weather, provide regular updates, and keep in contact with climbers. This service adds an extra level of safety and communication during your climb.
How do I arrange for a porter to meet me at a specific location?
We recommend coordinating drop-off locations with the porter in advance to avoid miscommunication. For convenience, it’s best for climbers to accompany their gear, but if unavailable, our porters can document the drop-off with photos and GPS details.
What happens if I need to change my porter schedule?
We understand plans can change. Please contact us as soon as possible to reschedule or adjust porter services. We will do our best to accommodate changes based on availability.
Can I hire a porter just for certain sections of a trail?
Absolutely. Porters can be contracted for specific sections or for full multi-day treks, depending on your needs. This flexibility allows you to customize support where it’s most beneficial.
Do porters have experience with handling specialized gear?
Yes, our porters are trained to handle various types of equipment, including climbing and camping gear. They’re experienced in storing gear securely at base camps and can follow specific handling instructions.
Is hiring a porter common in Patagonia?
How do I book a porter for my trip?
Booking is simple. Just use our online booking system or contact us directly to discuss your requirements, and we’ll set up the porter service based on your itinerary and specific needs.
