Reality check
Peak-season refugio slots (Las Torres camping, Vertice dorms) routinely sell out within weeks of release. If the availability you need is mismatched across operators, the itinerary must be restructured — there is no wild-camping workaround.

Methodology: Park entry pricing is the legally-published CONAF/SBAP rate, including the postponed May 1, 2026 differentiated-fee rollout. Refugio rates are midpoints from lastorres.com and vertice.travel 2025–26 published tariffs converted at CLP 887/USD. Flight costs are fare-aggregator midpoints for advance bookings. Rental gear uses Erratic Rock published daily rates. Bus and catamaran costs are operator-published. The calculator does not model peak demand-surge pricing on refugios — that requires booking through the operators directly to see live availability.
Patagonia price updates
Park fees and refugio rates shift every season.
