Discover the spectacular wilderness of southern Chile and Argentina
Discover the spectacular wilderness of southern Chile and Argentina
Rugged, snow-capped mountains stand amid the wild south of Argentina and Chile, fringed by huge icy lakes and windswept grasslands. In the distance, shy guanacos roam and a few hardy gauchos tend their many sheep. We discover the sheer-sided peak of Mount Fitzroy and the immense Perito Moreno Glacier, from which ice chunks often tumble into the water. Our journey culminates in Ushuaia – the southernmost city in the world. Renowned for expansive landscapes and outdoor activities, Patagonia never fails to astound.
We schedule our Patagonia trips between October and April to take advantage of the longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures. During these months, the temperatures in Buenos Aires reach a maximum of 30C (86F); El Calafate/Torres del Paine/Punta Arenas around 15C (59F); and in the extreme south, in Tierra del Fuego, 14C (57F). These are the daytime maximums, and the average figures are likely to be a little lower than this. The nights can drop to freezing point, but often remain just above. Patagonian summers tend to be dry although rain cannot be ruled out, particularly in the mountainous regions along the Chile-Argentina border. Patagonia is renowned for being windy and you might experience all four seasons in one day.
This trip is graded Activity Level 3 (Moderate), but we recommend you have reasonably good fitness levels to maximise your enjoyment of the hiking opportunities.
All the walks hikes are non-compulsory and do not exceed 12.5mi (20km). We also have two internal flights on this trip to reduce driving but there are still some long drives. The longest is when we cross the border from El Calafate to Torres del Paine and when travelling south from Cerro Sombrero to Ushuaia.
The highest point comes on the hike to the Towers of Paine, at the lookout point 2,907ft (886m) above sea level. This walk can take up to 10 hours, depending on weather conditions and speed of the group.
There are two internal flights included, normally with Aerolineas Argentinas. The flight times can be erratic and there can be last-minute schedule changes. Depending on flight availability, there may be a supplement to pay.
By accepting our offer in writing, you/you confirm that our terms and conditions have both been read and understood and that cancellation fees may apply if the trip is cancelled.
