Walking in Patagonia - The Ultimate Adventure

Walks Worldwide specialist and trekking expert, Matthew Bennett prefers to take the slower route. Recently returned from our group tour the Ultimate Patagonia Adventure, Matt is keen to share his experiences.

"Embarking on the Ultimate Patagonia Adventure was the fulfilment of a dream; to trek in one of the most beautiful areas of the world on an epic journey to the end of the earth!

The scenery was spellbinding. Beautiful panoramas surrounded us, made up of stunning lakes, untouched snowy peaks and towering spires, which gave the place a truly magical feel."

What makes this the Ultimate Patagonia Adventure?

Dedicated tour leaders supported by specialist local guides in each National Park."Could not have wished for better guides! They were all so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly from start to finish, always remaining professional and fun… such a bonus!"

Seeing all the big hitters of Patagonia."This trip goes far beyond the bucket list, featuring highlights such as: Cerro Fitzroy, Perito Moreno Glacier, granite towers of Torres Del Paine, Lake Pehoe and the Beagle Channel."

Amazing cuisine. "Now here is something to write home about! Argentina and Chile have some of the finest food in the world. Just some of the highlights were the excellent red wine from Mendoza, the beef steaks in El Chalten, fresh Salmon in Puerto Natales and a wonderful lamb BBQ at the Estancia in Rio Grande!"

Diverse landscapes with glaciers galore!"As well as Perito Moreno Glacier, we also had the opportunity to visit and even trek on Viedma Glacier in Argentina and spend a day walking to the Grey Lake and Glacier on the famous W route of Torres Del Paine. On the Argentinian side of Patagonia, the humidity is blocked by the Andes, so the landscape is semi arid. Whereas on the Chilean side the humidity comes off the pacific Ocean, giving a much greener landscape. Further down in Ushuia, the landscape resembles some of the beauty spots of the northern hemisphere. This was far more than a walking holiday. The trip was a fantastic experience which few other destinations could live up to!"
