Patagonia (🦆gonia) in late September / early October

Hi everyone!

I’m planning a trip to Patagonia between late September and early October, visiting El Calafate and El Chaltén, and I’d love to hear from people who have been there around that time of year.

I’ve been doing some research, but I’m still unsure what to realistically expect in terms of scenery, snow, trails, vegetation, weather, wind, and what clothes to pack.

If anyone has photos from trips taken in late September or October, especially from El Chaltén, Fitz Roy, Laguna de los Tres, Perito Moreno Glacier, or around El Calafate, I’d really appreciate it. It would help me get a better idea of what the area looks like during that period.

I’d also love any tips about:

• trail conditions at that time of year
• tours that are worth doing
• essential clothing or gear
• transportation between El Calafate and El Chaltén
• mistakes you would avoid if you went again.

Thanks in advance!
