Visit the highlights of Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia, exploring the spectacular scenery of Torres del Paine, Los Glaciares and Tierra del Fuego on foot.
- Walking in the foothills of the Patagonian Andes
- Trek in Torres del Paine & Los Glaciares National Parks
- See the calving of the Perito Moreno Glacier
- Canoe in search of wildlife in Tierra del Fuego
In some ways Argentina feels surprisingly familiar, especially Buenos Aires, with its strong European heritage. However, the vast open spaces and stupendous mountains of Patagonia are very different to the busy city and put you back in touch with nature.
The foothills of the Patagonian Andes offer vast, wild and beautiful spaces. The region’s mountains, glaciers and fragrant forests are best explored on foot, in direct contact with nature. On this walking holiday we take in the highlights of Southern Patagonia, including Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego.
This is a region where immense natural beauty and rich wildlife combine to create an unforgettable experience. Your journey to the the end of the earth is punctuated with many fascinating sights and opportunities for walking among some of the world’s most outstanding scenery.
