Overview & Highlights

If your idea of relaxation is stretching your legs in the elemental outdoors with a comfortable hotel room to come back to each evening, we've designed this trip with you in mind. Our holiday captures Patagonia's epic scenery as seen from a series of scenic trails in the Lake District, Los Glaciares National Park and Tierra del Fuego. No camping or cooking duties: just prepare your day pack and let our guides do the rest.

The world’s best mountain scenery can be hard to reach. Not so in Argentine Patagonia where you can access world-class hiking trails within a short drive of the comfortable tourist hubs of the Lake District, Los Glaciares National Park and Tierra del Fuego. Progressing south all the way to the tip of South America, we’ve chosen a series of thrilling day walks across these regions, ensuring that you return each day to a cosy hotel within reach of Argentina’s more worldly pleasures of great food and wine. This holiday should suit the actively-inclined weekend walker: whilst we’ve thrown in a couple of long-distance trails, hiking is generally of low intensity and not technical.

Beginning with a couple of nights in Buenos Aires, you’ll fly to the city of Bariloche in the Lake District, a springboard for a medley of trails in Nahuel Huapi National Park. A short hop by air further south is El Calafate, gateway to one of South America’s finest wildernesses, Los Glaciares National Park with its iconic Perito Moreno Glacier and the Fitz Roy massif where trails meander amidst sub-Antarctic forests and glacial lagoons. Finally to the end of the earth, Tierra del Fuego, where just a few kilometres inland from the busy port of Ushuaia is a quiet wilderness of ancient forest clinging to mountain cliffs, hidden streams and views over vertiginous glaciers.
