We’re going to Patagonia (Argentina & Chile)...

It won't be just nice hotels on this trip—we'll also spend some days hiking and camping near Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre!

Are you in?

Around the Full Moon...

From April 6th to April 17th 2025, Ramiro Torrents and Laura Oppelt (PhotoPills Masters) will be traveling across Patagonia (Argentina & Chile) to photograph the Autumn Colors (you’ll be in the Southern Hemisphere!), the Golden Light, the Moon and the Milky Way along with some of the hidden treasures of one of the most dramatic landscapes on the planet...

We’ll explore both Los Glaciares National Park (Argentina - Hiking & Camping) and Torres del Paine National Park (Chile - 4* Hotel)...

An adventurer’s dream!

Of course...

We’ll be taking photos all day long...

But...

Can you imagine it?

To photograph the beautiful Autumn Colors, the Golden Light, the Moon and the Southern Hemisphere’s Milky Way with majestic mountain peaks, giant glaciers and icebergs, sinuous rivers, roaring waterfalls, turquoise lakes, remote lagoons, dead trees, horses and gauchos... and the always funny guanacos!

The Adventure

12 PhotoPillers | 2 PhotoPills Masters | Patagonia | Endless legendary photos

Warning! This is not a honeymoon...

During the first part of the adventure, we’ll be hiking and camping in Argentina. The goal is to sleep next to our planned shooting spots and our main subjects, the stunning Fitz Roy (3,405 m, 11.171 ft) and Cerro Torre (3,128 m, 10,262 ft).

The most relevant hikes are the following:

• Day 2/Laguna Capri Campsite: Moderate hike, 4.68 km (2.9 mi) with 370 m (1213 ft) ascent.
• Day 3/Poincenot Campsite: Easy hike, 4.35 km (2.7 mi) with 50 m (164 ft) ascent.
• Day 4/Laguna de los Tres (OPTIONAL): Hard hike, 2.72 km (1.69 mi) straight up with 450 m (1476 mi) elevation gain. The path is rugged and big steps are needed in part. Terrain can be slippery in the early morning as little water streams on the path freeze.
• Day 5/De Agostini Campsite: Moderate hike, 10.5 km (6.5 mi), 130 m (426 m) ascent, 240 m (787 ft) descent. Not a technically difficult hike but it can get long with heavy bags.
• Day 7/El Chalten: Moderate hike, 9 km (5.59 mi), 115 m (377 ft) ascent, 308 m (1010 ft) descent. Not a technically difficult hike but it can get long with heavy bags.
• Day 9/Sunrise: Easy hikes, 2 km (1.2 mi) 41 m (134 ft) ascent. 1 km (0.62 mi) 40 m (131 ft) ascent. 1.5 km (0.93 mi) slightly downhill. 1.29 km (0.8 mi) mostly flat.

If you don’t wish to carry everything with you while hiking, Porters will be available for hire.

These are not technical or hard hikes. Over the years we've managed to bring approx 150 people on these hikes, during our camping expeditions, and everyone has made it :)

And on the second part of the adventure, in Chile, we’ll stay in a comfortable 4* hotel!

Do you dare? Yes?

Here we go!

We’re recruiting 12 brave PhotoPillers (PhotoPills and photography nerds) to join us on an 12-day expedition to photograph the Autumn Colors, the Golden Light, the Moon and the Milky Way along with the wonderful and remote corners of Patagonia... From Los Glaciares National Park (Argentina) to Torres del Paine (Chile) National Park.

It’s a non-stop adventure to chase legendary photos and you are a key asset!

We have planned tons of photos, and we’ll travel many kilometers and hike a few more to capture them...

But we also want to maximize our flexibility in terms of itinerary and schedule in order to take advantage of all the opportunities that the changing weather will surely put in our way.

If we see something interesting happening in the sky, we’ll pick the best location possible, stop and take advantage of the occasion.

When we are hungry, we’ll stop and eat. When we are tired, we’ll stop and rest...

You are about to embark on a PhotoPills’ style journey. And it’s not going to be a honeymoon precisely... :P

You’ll be a true PhotoPiller!

Are you in?

Day 1. Sunday, April 4th - Welcome to Patagonia!

It’s Sunday morning...

And you land in an early flight at the International Airport Comandante Armando Tola in El Calafate, Argentina.

Although, I recommend you arrive the day before to have 1 day to decompress.

10:00 am

After picking you up at the airport (or from your hotel in El Calafate) we’ll drive directly to El Chaltén, a small mountain village in the region of Santa Cruz, located on the riverside of Río de las Vueltas, near the base of Cerro Torre (3,128 m, 10,262 ft) and Cerro Fitz Roy (3,405 m, 11.171 ft) spires, two of our main subjects in this expedition.

1:40 pm

Lunch at a local restaurant in El Chaltén.

Or maybe you’d like to have homemade “empanadas” for lunch.
The options here are multiple.

3:00 pm

Checking-in at the comfortable Hotel Destino Sur and siesta (nap time)!

4:00 pm

Expedition briefing.

Ramiro Torrents and Laura Oppelt will go over the itinerary of the adventure, explaining the logistics, the locations and the photo opportunities we’ve specially planned for you. They’ll also cover the recommended gear and some important safety instructions.

Also, if you forgot to bring something, “no problemo”, you can always rent the camping gear you need in town. And also take the opportunity to get some snacks too :P

4:45 pm

PhotoPills class!

Get ready to learn lots of tips that will help you master PhotoPills once and for all :)

6:00 pm

After the briefing session and a 15 min drive we’ll arrive at Río de las Vueltas, also called Río Gatica.

It belongs to the basin of the Santa Cruz River and its name comes from the deep meanders that form along the course of the river.

The Sunset spot is not far away from the car park. Today we won’t hike.

From the river, the view of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre is just stunning. The fall colors fill the scene.

It’s time to scout the area and fine tune our compositions. Including the meanders of the river in the foreground is always a good idea.

The spot is perfect to use both a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens.

Open PhotoPills and check this out:

Golden hour begins at 6:43 pm, Sunset is at 7:27 pm, golden hour ends at 7:47 pm, and blue hour ends at 7:59 pm.

As the Sun sets behind the mountain range, the scene is just beautiful.

We’ll capture the river as it winds through the deep canyon, with the Sun setting on the left side of the frame. This provides a strong visual anchor, balancing the composition beautifully.

From this vantage point, Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre appear truly majestic, and, depending on the weather, this scene can result in incredibly dramatic images.

Just as the Sun is about to dip behind the peaks, we have the opportunity to capture a stunning sunburst, creating a Sun star effect near these magnificent mountains.

As for lenses...

This location offers a range of photographic possibilities.

A wide-angle lens is ideal for capturing the grand vista, encompassing the river, canyon, and peaks in one sweeping shot.

However, it’s also worth using a telephoto lens to zoom in on the peaks, especially when clouds linger around them, adding depth and mood to the scene.

And if we’re lucky, we might even spot some condors soaring overhead, perfect for capturing with a zoom lens.

8:00 pm

After the blue hour, when light begins to fade away, we’ll start our journey back to El Chaltén, where a delicious dinner awaits.

8:30 pm

Dinner in a local restaurant.

10:30 pm

Bed time.

Tomorrow we’ll wake up very early to photograph Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre under the Milky Way arch (if clouds cooperate!).

Photographic pills:

• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour with Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre from Río de las Vueltas.

Day 2. Monday, April 7th - The Waterfall

5:15 am

Wake up and get ready to photograph two giants (Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre) under the Milky Way.

Our shooting spot is located at Río de las Vueltas, which we’ll use as a guiding line towards the majestic peaks.

The Galactic Center is visible till 6:34 am. The Moon (72.8%) will be under the horizon.

The arch is very high in the sky. So you’ll need to shoot a 2-row panorama :)

So get your fast wide-angle lenses ready for action. An aperture of f/2.8 or less is recommended (f/1.8, f/1.4).

7:45 am

As the first rays of the Sun invade the scene, everything changes.

First, we'll witness the magical phenomenon of Alpenglow, where the first rays of reflected light bathe Mount Fitz Roy in stunning shades of orange and red.

A little later, as the Sun rises above the horizon, the peaks will be illuminated with direct sunlight, beautifully highlighting the rugged rock formations and glaciers.

Blue hour begins at 7:49 am, golden hour begins at 8:01 am, Sunrise is at 8:21 am and golden hour ends at 9:04 am.

9:30 am

Back at the hotel for a relaxing breakfast.

12:30 pm

After a good lunch in town (we need to take advantage of the nice restaurants when we have a chance!), we’ll meet the porters.

Today we’ll do a beautiful hike. So take what you need with you (camera gear) and leave the rest to the porters (if you decide to hire one). It’s better to save as much energy as possible.

They can carry up to 20 kg, which will really relieve our legs and back!

1:15 pm

Our hiking adventure begins. It’ll take us 1h 45 min to get to our camping (Laguna Capri Campsite) and Sunset location high in the mountains (including the stops to take photos). The views up there are incredible.

Laguna Capri, also known as Laguna Pato, is a little lake that enjoys spectacular views of Fitz Roy and the peaks around it.

The hike difficulty is moderate: 4.68 km (2.9 mi) with 370 m (1213 ft) ascent.

3:00 pm

We made it!

But wait! I know that you all want to immediately go shooting, but first, we need to set up the tents for the night.

Each one of us has his own tent. It’s easy to set up. But of course, Ramiro and Laura are there to help you too.

4:00 pm

Let’s go scouting. Let’s check the spots we’ve planned to photograph Sunset and the Milky Way.

There are lots of highlights here, the lake, Fitz Roy, the fall colors, the trees, the river (Río de la Cascada) and a beautiful waterfall (15 min easy hike).

5:00 pm

This waterfall is perfectly positioned to align with the majestic Fitz Roy massif in the background, creating a stunning composition.

Being closer to the peaks here than in our previous locations, they appear even more imposing and grand.

In autumn, the area surrounding the waterfall bursts into vibrant hues as the lenga and ñire trees transform the landscape. Rich reds, oranges, and yellows contrast beautifully with the cool blues and whites of the cascading water and rocky cliffs, adding a vivid pop of color to our images.

We’re all set—at the right spot, at the perfect time.

As the Sun sets behind the towering Fitz Roy, we have the opportunity to capture a dramatic sunburst as the Sun’s rays kiss the mountain’s rugged rocks.

While the water flows down the waterfall, we will use long exposures to capture its graceful movement, with Fitz Roy standing tall and majestic in the background, as if watching over us.

A wide-angle lens is especially versatile at this location, allowing us to capture the waterfall, the vibrant autumn foliage, and the towering peaks in a single frame.

If there are other photographers around, a medium-range zoom (like a 24-70mm or 24-120mm) can be practical to focus more closely on the waterfall, excluding other people from the shot.

Additionally, if there are clouds lingering around the peaks, a telephoto lens is ideal for capturing those dramatic natural details, adding depth and interest to our photographs.

Golden hour begins at 6:41 pm, Sunset is at 7:25 pm, golden hour ends at 7:44 pm, and blue hour ends at 7:57 pm.

8:15 pm

Dinner at the camp.

The camping meals will be easy to prepare: dry food, snacks and coffee, lots of coffee (and tea)!

And to bed. Tomorrow there is another great Sunrise awaiting.

But for the brave ones, here you have a plan B.

10:00 pm

Nighttime begins at 9:12 pm, and with it comes several exciting opportunities for night photography.

One option is to head to the shore of Laguna Capri to capture the thin part of the Milky Way stretching over Fitz Roy, with both the stars and the mountain reflected in the calm waters of the lake—assuming the wind is still.

With the Moon at 79%, its light will softly brighten the expansive landscape, adding a serene glow to the scene.

Another possibility is to focus on creating Star Trails instead of photographing the Milky Way. Capturing the trails reflected in the lake could result in a stunning pattern on both the sky and water.

However, be mindful of the Moon's brightness when setting your exposure, as it will present a unique challenge for balancing the light.

A third option is to turn in the opposite direction to capture the core of the Milky Way standing tall over the beautiful lenga trees. The Moon will cast a gentle light on the trees, highlighting their forms against the starry sky.

Finally, a creative choice is to illuminate a tent and photograph it under the stars with the majestic silhouette of Fitz Roy towering in the background, creating a cozy, adventurous scene.

Photographic pills:

• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour with Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre from the Río de las Vueltas.
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Laguna Capri waterfall.
• Optional Milky Way, Star Trails and stars at Laguna Capri (if clear skies).

Day 3. Tuesday, April 8th - The Dead Trees

6:00 am

This shot is optional, but if the skies are clear and you want to capture the Milky Way arching over Laguna Capri and Fitz Roy, along with its reflection in the water (with no Moon in sight), this is your perfect opportunity.

If you decide to join, be sure to bring your wide-angle lens to capture the full scope of the scene.

Astronomical twilight begins at 6:36 am.

7:30 am

It's a 30-minute hike to reach the shooting spot.

From this ridge, we have a stunning view overlooking the small river that we photographed the day before at the waterfall further upstream.

In the background, Fitz Roy majestically towers over the landscape, while the surrounding trees and forests glow with their vibrant autumn colors.

The light direction is perfect at Sunrise. The Sun's rays illuminate the peak of Fitz Roy, while the lower parts remain in shadow, creating a dramatic contrast.

There are plenty of options for composition here: the colorful trees, the winding river, the majestic peaks. This is the perfect spot to get creative and have some fun!

And who knows, we might even be lucky enough to catch some interesting clouds swirling around the mountain peaks.

Blue hour begins at 7:51 am, golden hour begins at 8:03 am, Sunrise is at 8:22 am and golden hour ends at 9:06 am.

9:45 am

Nice breakfast with lots of coffee (or tea) at the camp.

10:30 am

Time to pack up and hike 1h 30min to our next camp: Poincenot Campsite.

The hike difficulty is easy: 4.35 km (2.7 mi) with 50 m (164 ft) ascent.

Poincenot Campsite is much closer to Fitz Roy. You can feel in your skin that the peaks are getting taller and taller at each step you give.

12:50 pm

Time to set up the camp, lunch and rest a bit.

1:50 pm

And after lunch, down time.

3:30 pm

The area is filled not only with beautiful trees dressed in vibrant fall colors but also with striking dead trees.

Whether alive or dead, these trees give a strong sense of place, almost as if they’re proclaiming, “Welcome to Patagonia!”

These trees make excellent compositional elements, serving either as a main subject or a compelling foreground to complement the dramatic background of Fitz Roy.

As the Sun lowers, at around 5:40 pm, we can use the trees to capture sunbursts through their branches.

If the weather turns dramatic and the Sun is hidden behind clouds, this area is perfect for long exposures, capturing the movement of dynamic clouds around the peak, beautifully framed by the dead trees.

Golden hour begins at 6:39 pm, Sunset is at 7:23 pm, golden hour ends at 7:43 pm, and blue hour ends at 7:55 pm.

8:00 pm

Dinner and hot drinks at the Camp.

9:15 pm

During our scouting, we discovered an incredible tree that perfectly aligns with the vertical Milky Way and the Galactic Center.

When the time comes, we’ll be there, ready to press the shutter as the Milky Way aligns beautifully overhead.

With the Moon at 86% hanging in the northern sky, it will naturally light up our tree and the foreground, eliminating the need for any artificial lighting tonight!

Alternatively, you can also experiment with photographing Star Trails over Fitz Roy for a different, dynamic effect.

Photographic pills:

• Optional Milky Way arch over the Fitz Roy at Laguna Capri.
• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour with the river and Fitz Roy.
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour with alive and dead trees and Fitz Roy.
• Milky Way Core with a tree (with Moon).
• Star Trails with Fitz Roy (with Moon).

Day 4. Wednesday, April 9th - Laguna de los Tres

12:20 am

If you're up for starting the day at midnight, there's an optional shot at 12:20 am when the tail of the Milky Way aligns perfectly with Fitz Roy.

With the Moon (86%) in the northern sky, this will be a challenging shot. You'll need to take separate exposures for the stars, the foreground, and the Moon, then blend them together to create the final image. Prepare for a rewarding challenge!

4:20 am

We’re making our way up to Laguna de los Tres, taking it slow with small, steady steps. The hike will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes, but the journey is truly unique—it's absolutely worth every bit of effort and adventure.

The trail is quite steep and can be icy in parts, so keep your headlamp handy—you'll definitely need it.

This hike difficulty is hard: 2.72 km (1.69 mi) of steep ascent with a 450 m (1,476 ft) elevation gain.

At the top, Laguna de los Tres awaits—a stunning lagoon with different shades of blue, nestled right at the base of the mystical Mount Fitz Roy.

Up here, you’ll feel so close to the mountain peak that it seems you could almost reach out and touch it.

As we ascend, you’ll quickly see why this is considered the most spectacular, iconic, and unforgettable trek in the area.

However, if you’d prefer to save your energy and relax at the camp, that’s completely understandable. And if you wish to shoot Sunrise, there are plenty of stunning compositions by the camp as well.

6:15 am

Everything is set up. The Fitz Roy stands straight up in front of us and under the majestic Milky Way arch.

The core falls to the right hand side of the Fitz Roy, pretty high in the sky. We’ll have to shoot a multi row panorama to fit it in the frame.

The Galactic Center Milky Way visibility ends at 6:38 am. And the Moon (88%) is under the horizon.

7:30 am

The Sunrise is amazing here.

We’ll start by capturing the alpenglow as it gently illuminates the rugged rocks of Fitz Roy, creating a breathtaking display of colors.

Then, we’ll head directly to the rocky (and occasionally icy) shore of the lagoon to photograph the reflection of the majestic peaks in the water.

Additionally, we’ll have the opportunity to shoot from a higher vantage point that includes Laguna Sucia in the frame, adding even more depth to our compositions.

And, of course, we’ll make time to soak in the incredible views while enjoying a hot cup of coffee.

These are the unforgettable moments that make landscape photography so special!

Blue hour begins at 7:52 am, golden hour begins at 8:04 am, Sunrise is at 8:21 am and golden hour ends at 9:08 am.

9:20 am

Time to hike back to the camp where a well deserved breakfast awaits.

After breakfast, we’ll enjoy a bit of free time. Take the opportunity to rest and recover your energy. But, of course, if the day is cloudy and moody... Well, the conditions will be great to keep shooting :)

3:00 pm

After lunch and a good siesta (nap) we’ll go back to the river, to explore the area and find cool compositions for Sunset.

There are lots of elements to play with: trees, colors, the river, the mountain peaks...

5:00 pm

Although we've been getting closer and closer to Fitz Roy, this time we’ll take a slightly different path, heading in the opposite direction toward Loma Polo.

This is the mountain you can see from the back side of El Chaltén. However, we’ll be shooting from the front side, directing our lenses toward the iconic Fitz Roy.

As we gain a bit of elevation, we reach a stunning overlook, filled with both beautiful living and striking dead trees.

From here, our view spans from the vibrant autumnal colors, across several small lagoons and pools, to the majestic peaks in the distance.

Loma Polo offers a wealth of compositional opportunities, always using Fitz Roy as a striking visual anchor in the background.

We’ll frame the peaks with the beautifully shaped dead trees and the shimmering fall colors that surround us.

The small lagoons and pools in the mid-ground act as perfect leading lines into the scene. If the conditions are calm, the peaks and clouds might reflect in these pools, creating images that are truly dreamlike.

Golden hour begins at 6:37 pm, Sunset is at 7:21 pm, golden hour ends at 7:41 pm, and blue hour ends at 7:53 pm.

8:15 pm

Dinner and hot drinks at the Camp!

9:00 pm

The Moon (92%) is shining brightly in the north. However, if we didn't have any luck with clouds on Day 3 and the skies are clear, we'll return to the solitary tree to capture the Milky Way core perfectly aligned behind it.

Additionally, this is a great opportunity to practice your star trail photography, capturing the mesmerizing movement of the stars across the sky.

So, plan your shots and keep your fingers crossed for clear skies!

Plan & Pray!

Photographic pills:

• Thin Milky Way arching over Fitz Roy at Laguna de los Tres (no Moon).
• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour at Laguna de los Tres.
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Loma Polo.
• Milky Way core with a tree (with Moon).
• Star Trails with the Fitz Roy (with Moon).

Day 5. Thursday, April 10th - The Hidden Lagoon

6:00 am

Optional astro shot.

Once again the Moon (93%) is under the horizon. The Milky Way (and its core) is arching above the Fitz Roy and the surrounding trees... and we’re all getting excited.

Hurry up! Very soon the Milky Way will start to fade away as we enter into the astronomical twilight.

Galactic Center visibility ends at 6:39 am.

7:30 am

This is our last Sunrise in this area. Today we’ll camp in another spot. So let’s take out our Sunrise plans you’ve saved with PhotoPills and let’s go to capture them.

Our ingredients will be the fall colors, the golden light, the dead trees, the beautiful peaks.

Blue hour begins at 7:39 am, golden hour begins at 8:06 am, Sunrise is at 8:25 am and golden hour ends at 9:09 am.

9:15 am

Time to hike back to the camp, have breakfast and pack up everything. We’re moving!

3:00 pm

After a beautiful 3h 45min long but not hard hike across valleys and forests, mostly on flat terrain, we arrive at De Agostini Campsite by Laguna Torre... The hidden lagoon.

The hike difficulty is moderate: 10.5 km (6.5 mi), 130 m (426 m) ascent, 240 m (787 ft) descent.

Laguna Torre is located among glaciers and mountains. Here, the stunning Cerro Torre dominates the scenery. Wind usually is strong here, moving the ice from the glaciers around the lagoon.

5:00 pm

Flowing out of Laguna Torre, we are at the source of the Río Fitz Roy.

This fast-flowing glacial river winds through the valley we hiked earlier, offering fantastic opportunities to use its many curves and rapids as leading lines to draw the viewer’s eye toward Cerro Torre.

We capture the river’s currents and rapids, perfectly leading the eye toward the distinct shapes of Cerro Torre.

As the sun dips behind the mountains, there’s a chance to capture dynamic sunbursts, adding a striking visual element to our compositions.

If the skies are cloudy, the rushing waters present an excellent opportunity to experiment with longer exposures, resulting in dynamic and captivating images.

6:10 pm

Laguna Torre lies directly beneath the impressive Cerro Torre and is fed by the Glaciar Grande, which spills into the lagoon at its far end.

The cold, turquoise waters of the lagoon are often scattered with icebergs that have broken off from the glacier, slowly drifting across the surface. These icebergs provide captivating foreground elements, creating a beautiful contrast with the rugged mountain backdrop.

The rocky shoreline of Laguna Torre can sometimes freeze over, and under certain weather conditions, you might even witness sizable waves breaking against it.

This stunning location is worth visiting multiple times to capture its varied moods and the different emotions it evokes.

With the Sun already hidden behind the mountains, we won’t have direct sunlight to work with. Instead, we’ll focus on finding interesting and dynamic foregrounds to enhance our compositions.

We’ll look for rocks that can serve as leading lines, seek out icebergs that make compelling middleground subjects, and top it all off with the breathtaking Cerro Torre standing tall in the background.

Get ready to shoot!

Golden hour begins at 6:35 pm, Sunset is at 7:19 pm, golden hour ends at 7:39 pm, and blue hour ends at 7:51 pm.

8:00 pm

Dinner and hot drinks at the camp.

9:00 pm

Nighttime begins at 9:05 pm.

And we are back at the shore of Laguna Torre, but this time under the night sky. As temperatures drop, we might be lucky enough to find frozen formations to use as captivating foreground elements.

With the Moon at 96% illumination high in the sky to our right, its light competes with the Milky Way. However, this combination can create a stunning effect, as the moonlight acts like a giant softbox, softly illuminating the landscape and revealing textures and shadows.

Our goal will be to capture the tail end of the Milky Way perfectly aligned with Cerro Torre, creating the illusion that the Milky Way is rising directly from this magnificent peak.

The moonlight will gently light the landscape, adding texture and depth, with subtle shadows enhancing the midground. For the foreground, we will look for interesting frozen structures or beautiful rocks—or perhaps even a combination of both.

And as always, shooting Star Trails is a great option for creating dynamic and captivating night sky images.

Photographic pills:

• Milky Way arching over the Fitz Roy (no Moon).
• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour with Fitz Roy from the dead trees forest.
• Daytime photos while hiking to De Agostini Campsite.
• Afternoon photos with Cerro torre and Río Fitz Roy.
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour with the Cerro Torre from Laguna Torre.
• Thin Milky Way with the Cerro Torre (with Moon).
• Star Trails with the Cerro Torre (with Moon).

Day 6. Friday, April 11th - Stairway to Heaven

4:45 am

Wake up! The Milky Way will soon be perfectly positioned, arching beautifully over Cerro Torre.

After a cold night, the chances of finding frozen structures around the lagoon are at their highest. We might even wake up to the surprise of new icebergs drifting close to the shore, having moved across the lagoon during the night.

In front of us, the Milky Way stretches high above the majestic Cerro Torre, competing with the bright Moon (97%), which slowly moves into our frame from the right.

The moonlight is so intense tonight that capturing detailed images of the Milky Way might be challenging. However, just before the Moon dips below the mountains, we have the opportunity to capture an elusive moonburst.

The soft glow of the nearly full Moon bathing the landscape is a sight in itself—almost as bright as daylight, but with a completely different, ethereal quality.

But all hope is not lost for capturing the Milky Way...

The Moon sets at 6:57 am, during astronomical twilight, and the chances of getting clear shots of the Milky Way are pretty high, as long as the skies remain clear.

Plan & Pray!

7:30 am

In our dreams...

We envision frozen structures resting on vibrantly colored rocks in the immediate foreground, icebergs drifting across the lagoon in the middle ground, and the alpenglow casting Cerro Torre in a deep red hue, all set against a backdrop of dramatic clouds.

If we're lucky enough to witness this perfect scene, we'll be ready to capture it.

But the truth is, this location is breathtaking in any conditions, and we'll make the most of whatever nature provides.

This spot is ideal for both wide-angle and telephoto lenses. Wide angles allow us to capture the grandeur of the landscape, while telephoto lenses are perfect for creating abstract images that focus on the peaks, trees, and rich fall colors.

Blue hour begins at 7:55 am, golden hour begins at 8:07 am, Sunrise is at 8:27 am and golden hour ends at 9:11 am.

9:30 am

After a 15min hike we’ll be back at the camp. Ready for breakfast!

10:30 am

Down time.

1:00 pm

Lunch at the camp and siesta (nap).

3:40 pm

We’re crossing a river using a zip line, searching for a different point of view.

I told you this isn’t a honeymoon, right?

But don't worry—it's easier than it looks and quite a lot of fun!

Once we make it across, we'll explore two different vantage points, both slightly elevated, offering fantastic views of the Río Fitz Roy. This creates ideal leading lines that draw the viewer’s eye straight toward the majestic, mythical peak.

To enhance the composition, we can capture the moment when the Sun kisses Cerro Torre, creating a beautiful starburst effect at the edge of the peak.

This location offers a variety of photographic possibilities—from fast shutter speeds that highlight the details in the rushing river water to long exposures that turn the river into a silky, dreamlike flow.

6:50 pm

We’re back at the lagoon’s shore just in time for Sunset.

Laguna Cerro is often windy, so be prepared to take cover behind a rock when the gusts pick up! But witnessing the waves crashing against the icebergs is an unforgettable experience.

I’m sure you’ll capture some dramatic shots!

Also, Patagonia is famous for its intense and colorful skies during golden hour—even when the Sun has already dipped below the horizon from our vantage point, the surroundings can still be bathed in a brilliant, glowing sky.

This is an excellent opportunity to experiment with new compositions or improve upon the ones you captured earlier. Glacial lagoons are ever-changing, and no two visits are the same, offering fresh perspectives each time.

Alternatively, you can switch to a telephoto lens to focus on the intricate details of the towering peaks.

Golden hour begins at 6:33 pm, Sunset is at 7:17 pm, golden hour ends at 7:37 pm, and blue hour ends at 7:49 pm.

8:00 pm

Dinner and hot drinks at the Camp.

9:00 pm

Optional Astro Photography Session!

According to PhotoPills, at around 11:15 pm, the thinner section of the Milky Way will align perfectly with Cerro Torre.

And with the Moon at 99% illumination, its side light will beautifully illuminate the peaks, revealing more details. However, this also means fewer visible stars in the sky.

If the skies are clear, you have the option to head to Laguna Cerro for an incredible shot of this celestial event.

Photographic pills:

• Moonburst with Cerro Torre.
• Milky Way arching over the Cerro Torre during astronomical twilight (no Moon) from Laguna Cerro.
• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour with Cerro Torre from the Laguna Cerro.
• Afternoon shots with the glacier and Cerro Torre (river crossing).
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour with Cerro Torre from the Laguna Cerro.
• Optional thin Milky Way with the Cerro Torre (with Moon).

Day 7. Saturday, April 12th - The Secret

I’ve been giving you lots of details of this amazing expedition to Patagonia (Argentina & Chile).

Maybe far too many...

But on April 12th we’ll do something very special...

What will that be?

Well, you'll have to be there, with us, to figure it out :P

Day 8. Sunday, April 13th - Torres del Paine

6:00 am

Early breakfast and check-out...

The day is marked with a sense of fresh beginnings...

We’re going to Chile!

To Torres del Paine National Park.

7:30 am

It's our final morning in El Chaltén, and we’re not going to miss the sunrise.

Today’s session is something special...

We have a unique spot in mind—one that offers a truly captivating view.

On our way out of El Chaltén, we’ll stop to capture light trails leading towards Fitz Roy.

As vehicles pass by (hopefully, a few will!), we’ll shoot long exposures to create dynamic trails of light against the backdrop of the iconic peaks, just as the sun casts its first rays on the mountains.

Additionally, today the nearly full Moon (99.8%) will be setting behind the peaks to the west, providing a perfect opportunity to capture a stunning mountainscape with a massive Moon—almost 150 meters in size—looming over the scene.

Blue hour begins at 7:34 am, golden hour begins at 7:46 am, Sunrise is at 8:06 am and golden hour ends at 8:48 am.

10:20 am

The road ahead stretched for several hours, punctuated by the beauty of the Patagonian plains, with the bus cutting through the landscape towards the Chilean border.

We’ll make a quick stop in La Leona for Coffee, snacks and toilet.

12:55 am

A much-needed break at Estancia Esperanza allows us to stretch our legs, have a quick lunch, and take in the surroundings of this beautiful area.

1:25 pm

The journey resumes, our sights set firmly on the Chilean border crossing at Cancha Carrera.

3:30 pm

A new chapter begins as we enter Chile at Cerro Castillo, marking our official arrival in Torres del Paine territory.

6:05 pm

Check in at the beautiful Río Serrano Hotel + Spa.

Apart from the views of the peaks, we’ll also enjoy the Patagonian’s gastronomy of its kitchen.

We’ll stay here for 3 nights.

6:40 pm

Tha plan for Sunset is exciting... Because the landscape and the beautiful peaks are not the only thing we’ll photograph!

What about including horses and gauchos in the shot?

Wouldn’t that be amazing?

Well...

That's exactly the Plan.

To photograph horses and gauchos with Cerro Paine Grande (2884 m, 9461 ft) and Los Cuernos (2450 m, 8038 ft) in the background as the Sun sets.

The Sun is setting in the west, casting on the peaks, from the side, its beautiful golden light.

Golden hour begins at 6:23 pm, Sunset is at 7:10 pm, golden hour ends at 7:31 pm and blue hour ends at 7:43 pm.

8:10 pm

Dinner at the Hotel Río Serrano.

10:00 pm

Time to go to bed!

I hope tomorrow we see and photograph guanacos!

Photographic pills:

• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour from a viewpoint near el Chalten (Car trails).
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour with horses, gauchos, Cerro Paine Grande and Los Cuernos.

Day 9. Monday, April 14th - Twisted Trees & Guanacos

6:00 am

Breakfast to go.

Another Sunrise awaits!

7:00 am

Today, we're heading to the iconic Mirador Los Cuernos!

When we arrive at the Salto Grande parking area, we'll embark on a short hike (2 km or 1.2 miles) to a small bay along the trail, with an elevation gain of just 41 meters (134 feet).

Mirador Los Cuernos offers our closest view yet of Los Cuernos, and they look absolutely stunning up close!

These peaks are among the most iconic landmarks of Torres del Paine National Park, and we'll be capturing them from various angles throughout our time in Chile.

This relatively easy hike leads us to a fantastic viewpoint where we'll photograph the Sunrise.

After the golden hour, we’ll continue further down the trail to the shore of Lago Nordenskjöld.

Along the way, we’ll pass through areas featuring photogenic dead trees, small hills, and valleys.

Keep an eye out for wildlife—there's a good chance we might see some Guanacos, and since this is Puma territory, you never know, we might even spot a Puma!

From Mirador Cuernos, we get a higher vantage point to photograph Lago Nordenskjöld, using the shoreline in the distance as a middle ground, combined with various foreground elements. And, of course, the dramatic Cuernos del Paine peaks provide a breathtaking backdrop.

Once we reach the shoreline, there are numerous opportunities to use interesting foregrounds, including driftwood, dead trees, and striking rocks.

As we walk back towards the parking lot we will pass an area full of very photogenic dead trees that invite to be used as foreground and/or middleground.

Blue hour begins at 8:01 am, golden hour begins at 8:14 am, Sunrise is at 8:35 am and golden hour ends at 9:21 am.

12:35 pm

Lunch at the Hotel Río Serrano and down time!

3:30 pm

Post processing class with Ramiro and Laura.

Get ready to learn lots of tips and tricks that will help you improve your images.

5:15 pm

For sunset, we will head to a small island on Lake Pehoe, offering a variety of breathtaking locations for photography.

The possibilities here are truly endless.

We can take a short 10-minute hike to the top of a hill, where we’ll be rewarded with a stunning panoramic view of Lake Pehoe and its small islands.

Alternatively, we can walk down to the shore, where fascinating rock formations and trees provide excellent foreground elements for our shots.

There’s also a small, sheltered bay that’s more protected from the wind, increasing our chances of capturing reflections on the water’s surface.

All these spots provide a stunning backdrop with Los Cuernos and Paine Grande towering in the distance.

This time, we are situated farther from Los Cuernos than we were during our sunrise session, allowing us to see even more of the surrounding peaks—and they are absolutely magnificent!

All we need is a bit of luck with the weather and the magical golden light of the evening bathing these majestic peaks!

Just a heads-up: if you're hoping for reflections, keep in mind that Torres del Paine is known for its strong winds, so it’s not guaranteed.

Golden hour begins at 6:22 pm, Sunset is at 7:08 pm, golden hour ends at 7:29 pm and blue hour ends at 7:42 pm.

8:40 pm

Dinner at the Hotel Río Serrano.

11:00 pm

Optional Astrophotography Session!

Just a few minutes' walk from our hotel, through the garden access door, lies a fantastic spot for night photography.

Here, we can reach the shoreline where the Río Serrano flows out, providing a direct view of the Cuernos del Paine.

The area features several small pools and uniquely shaped trees that make for excellent compositions against the backdrop of the Milky Way—with the Moon not far away, creating an intriguing and challenging shot.

Additionally, when the nearly full Moon (96%) shines at night, the shoreline of the Río Serrano becomes an ideal place to capture long exposures of the Cuernos del Paine.

The silvery moonlight gently illuminates the jagged peaks, while fast-moving clouds are transformed into a dreamy blur, and the Río Serrano becomes a silky, silver stream in the foreground—a truly magical scene.

It’s all as enchanting as it sounds, and all you need to do is step outside and bring your camera to capture these breathtaking moments.

Photographic pills:

• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour from Mirador los Cuernos.
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Lake Pehoe.
• Optional astrophotography session with interesting trees and Los Cuernos (with Moon).

Day 10. Tuesday, April 15th - Reflections

6:30 am

After a short and comfortable drive, the vastness of Lake Pehoe unveils before us.

Nestled within it is a bay, almost deceptively appearing as a separate lake, sheltered from the wind and potentially offering tranquil reflections.

As blue and golden hours drape the landscape in ethereal light, our cameras hum with activity.

Additionally, there are beautiful trees and a wooden path that you can use as leading lines towards the towers.

If the sky is clear looking east, we might wait until 9:13 am for the Sun to peak above the mountains and illuminate our foreground.

Blue hour begins at 8:02 am, golden hour begins at 8:15 am, Sunrise is at 8:36 am and golden hour ends at 9:23 am.

9:50 am

Breakfast at the Hotel Río Serrano and down time.

12:00 pm

Portfolio review session with Ramiro and Laura.

1:30 pm

Lunch break.

3:00 pm

After a super interesting photo review session... Why not relax a bit our bones in the Spa?

5:30 pm

We will revisit lake Pehoe for Sunset but from a different area.

We will get in early so that you will have plenty of time to walk around, explore the whole area and plan your shots with PhotoPills!

Bue before you do so, as always, Laura and Ramiro will give you a briefing and show you all the different spots!

This spot is a popular one for reflection shots and on calm days it is possible to get a great reflection not far from the parking lot.

There are also some nice trees all around the lake and a small tree that became really popular over the years (not so easy to find).

Along the shore you can often find some logs of dead trees brought on the shore by the strong wind... and prominent rocks that we can use for dynamic seascape style images if we are there on a more windy day

They make an amazing foreground!

Higher up on the little hill, you will have a vantage point and a better separation of the islands in the lake. And there are some interesting rocks and plants you can use in the foreground too.

Lots of elements to play with... Be creative!

Golden hour begins at 6:19 pm, Sunset is at 7:06 pm, golden hour ends at 7:27 pm and blue hour ends at 7:40 pm.

8:30 pm

Dinner at the Hotel Río Serrano.

10:00 pm

Bed time!

Sleep well my friends, we have one last Sunrise to take!

Photographic pills:

• Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour at Lake Pehoe from Explora.
• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Lake Pehoe from Hostería Pehoé.

Day 11. Wednesday, April 16th - The Waterfall and the Towers

8:00 am

Our last morning in Torres del Paine National Park will be at Cascada River Paine, a waterfall on the eastern side of the park. This spot is perfect in the morning with the morning glow on Las Torres.

So...

Envision yourself at the edge of a breathtaking waterfall, the thunderous sound of cascading water filling the air as mist rises to create a magical atmosphere.

This is Cascada Río Paine, a hidden gem in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park, waiting to be captured through your lens.

It’s not just a waterfall; it's a dynamic display of nature's raw power and serene beauty.

The river, fed by the melting glaciers of the park, rushes down to create this stunning cascade, framed by the dramatic Andean landscape.

The turquoise waters, enriched by glacial sediments, contrast vividly against the rugged terrain, offering a perfect composition for landscape photography.

As you set up your camera, you'll find countless angles and perspectives to explore. Whether you're drawn to the close-up details of the rushing water, the wide expanse of the river's flow, or the surrounding flora, each shot at Cascada Río Paine tells a unique story.

Also...

The surrounding cliffs and lush greenery add layers to your images, providing a rich context and a sense of place.

The cascade offers an excellent opportunity to experiment with different shutter speeds, capturing the silky smooth flow of water or freezing the droplets in mid-air, each technique revealing a different aspect of this natural wonder.

The light in Torres del Paine changes dramatically throughout the day, transforming the scene before your eyes. Early morning and late afternoon light casts a warm glow over the landscape, creating striking contrasts and long shadows that enhance the textures and colors of the scene.

This ever-changing light, combined with the unpredictable Patagonian weather, means that no two moments at Cascada Río Paine are the same, offering endless possibilities for creativity.

Beyond the technical aspects of photography, a visit to Cascada Río Paine is a journey into the heart of nature. The tranquility of the surroundings, the sound of the water, and the fresh mountain air create a meditative experience, allowing you to connect deeply with the environment.

Enjoy!

Day 12. Thursday, April 17th - The Farewell

8:00 am

As dawn breaks over El Calafate, we gather for one last meal together.

The breakfast area is filled with a mix of emotions - joy from the memories created, sadness at the impending goodbyes, and the calm contentment of a journey well-lived.

The breakfast table becomes a space for exchanging contact details, sharing last-minute photos, and recounting the most cherished memories from the expedition.

10:00 am

Now that the expedition has ended... you’re free to stay in Patagonia (it’s a good idea) or to go to the airport... home awaits!

2:00 pm

As we board our planes and watch the vast landscapes of Patagonia fade into the horizon, we leave with much more than photographs; we leave with unforgettable memories and transformative experiences.

The jagged peaks of Los Cuernos, the tranquil waters of Lake Nordenskjold, the playful guanacos, the ever-present Fitz Roy, the elusive Cerro Torre, and the winds that carried whispers of ancient stories—all have etched themselves deeply into our hearts.

This was far more than just another trip; it was an immersive journey into the wild heart of Patagonia, filled with every sunrise we chased and every sunset that bathed the sky in hues of gold and crimson. The challenges we faced together, the awe we felt in the presence of nature's grandeur, and the friendships we forged have created lasting bonds that extend beyond this adventure.

As the old travel saying goes, "You will never be completely at home again because part of your heart will always be elsewhere." For many of us, a piece of our hearts will always remain in Patagonia.

To every PhotoPiller: May the spirit of Patagonia continue to inspire you, reminding you of this magical journey. Until our paths cross again, keep chasing the light and capturing the wonders of this incredible world.

Safe travels, and farewell, my dear friends.

This is a glimpse to what happened in the PhotoPills Expedition to Iceland. We had so many adventures and so much fun... We can’t wait for Patagonia!

But you don’t have to take our word for granted. Here’s what some PhotoPillers say about the PhotoPills adventures:

“I went to Iceland expecting to have the opportunity to photograph the marvelous landscape and master nightscapes. What I encountered was so much more – 14 kindred souls from across the globe who share a passion for photography. Together we expanded our creative boundaries, learned from one another and had an insane amount of fun in the process. I am confident that everyone came away from the experience a better photographer.”

“From the very moment the guys from PhotoPills announced the expedition to Iceland... I didn’t think it twice! I was using PhotoPills but not at its full capacity, so I had no better chance to learn from the creators of this amazing app. The experience was even more amazing than anything I could have imagined. In Iceland, I discovered a bunch of folks as crazy about photography as I am. I had a blast!

Photography is a continuous learning process, you always find something new that motivates you to improve. And this adventure made me improve more than I could imagine.”

"The PhotoPills guys know how to create a fantastic experience. They bring an infectiously fun energy and are always willing to drop some handy photography knowledge on you that you will take with you. You take their trip and you'll for sure have a good time, get some amazing pics and leave a better photographer."

“During my experience in Iceland I lived wonderful moments and had surprises that were beyond the expected. It completely exceeded my initial expectations! Sharing knowledge, experiences and ways of working and living photography with such a great group has been one of the most enriching life experiences I have ever had.

Who he said that learning and knowledge sharing can not be wonderfully fun?”

“I can't say enough about what a fantastic time I had during the PhotoPills Iceland photo tour! The guys from PhotoPills and Donal Boyd were so knowledgeable, accommodating, and especially lots of fun. Never a dull moment – nonstop action and shooting of amazing landscapes for 10 days. I came away with enough images and memories to last a lifetime!”
