Day 10 - 29/11

Free day at El Calafate! We'll get together, reflect and absorb everything we experienced on the trip. We can edit, rest, go out to eat, photograph, or drive without plans. It will be the last day of the trip, so we can do whatever we want.

Overnight: Austral Suites

​

Some raw moments of our previous expedition.

 

 

Photographic equipment​

​

There is no such thing as mandatory equipment - what you have is enough! That said, here is a list of equipment and accessories that, if you have them, will provide a better photographic experience. Remember that, on trips of this type, we can always share material and equipment so that we all have an incredible experience! Feel free to contact us beforehand to ask for help when packing/getting equipment.

 

• Camera (DSLR/Mirrorless);

• Lenses: Both open (wide) and long (tele) lenses work super well in Patagonia. We recommend taking everything you have!;

• Tripod - indispensable for night photo shoots and video;

• Extra batteries;

• Memory cards;

• Cables and chargers;

• Polarizer/ND filter;

• HD or SSD for storage;

• Laptop (preferably with Lightroom, Photoshop and a video editing software installed);

• Drone (not allowed in many places, but worth bringing);

• External battery;

• Comfortbale camera bag;

• Etc!

 

Working with partner brands

​

One of the great differentials of this workshop is that we will learn, in practice, how to work with brands. From planning to execution and delivery, we'll get the full experience of how we can monetize "travel photography". We will have a clear briefing of what the brand is looking for as content and we will work as a team to accomplish this task in the best possible way. In this way, we will also train our commercial look so that those who are interested can enter or increase their presence in the photographic market.

Recommendations about Argentina and what to bring 

​

• Documents accepted for entry into Argentina and Chile: Valid passport OR original identity card (RG) issued less than 10 years ago, with your recognizable photo (Brazilians only)​

 

• No visa or entry form is required for most countries.

 

• Immigration may ask for proof of income and/or a return ticket to the departure country.

 

• Argentina has a very serious inflation problem, which has resulted in a "parallel" exchange called the "blue dollar". Credit cards are widely accepted with a slightly lower rate, but we recommend bringing US dollars and exchange in El Calafate or El Chalten. (we recommend having at least 400USD per person + international credit card like Wise or Nomad)

Clothing

​

The secret to a well-packed suitcase to Patagonia is to have layers. Layering is important for temperature regulation, moisture management, versatility, wind and waterproofing, weight efficiency, and safety during outdoor activities in variable conditions like those in Patagonia. If you have technical questions about outdoor clothing, feel free to reach out to us!

1. Base Layer:

   • Moisture-wicking thermal underwear or long-sleeve shirts and pants made of merino wool or synthetic materials. These keep you dry by wicking sweat away from your skin.

2. Mid Layer:

   • Fleece jacket or pullover to provide insulation and retain body heat. Fleece is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for trapping warmth without bulk.

3. Outer Layer (Shell):

   • Waterproof and windproof jacket and pants made of Gore-Tex or similar materials. These protect you from rain, snow, and harsh winds while allowing moisture to escape to prevent overheating.

4. Insulating Layer:

   • Down or synthetic insulated jacket for additional warmth during colder conditions. Choose a compressible and lightweight option that can be easily packed when not in use.

5. Headwear:

   • Wool or fleece beanie to keep your head warm. 

6. Gloves:

   • Waterproof and insulated gloves or mittens to protect your hands from cold and wet conditions.

7. Footwear:

   • We recommend bringing hiking boots or waterproof trekking shoes. Even though we only have one big hike, having an uncomfortable pair of shoes can change your whole experience.

   • Wool or synthetic moisture-wicking socks to keep your feet dry and prevent blisters.

8. Accessories:

   • Neck gaiter or scarf to protect your neck and face from cold winds.

   • Sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from the glare of snow and sunlight.

   • Rain cover for your backpack.

   • Headlamp.
