Active Patagonia: Classic treks in Argentina and Chile

14 days from £4,600pp

(based on two people sharing & excluding flights)

Chile / Argentina / Patagonia

  • Mount Fitz Roy in Los Glaciares National Park, Patagonia

Overview & Highlights

Low-altitude trekking through Patagonia's glaciated landscapes on the W Trek in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park and the M Trek in the Fitz Roy massif in Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park to discover the pinnacles of the region's natural scenery.

On this Patagonia trekking holiday, savour stretches of the two most famous hikes, the W Trek in Chile and the M Trek in Argentina.

The hikes are quite challenging: walk for several hours over tricky, sometimes steep, terrain. Good weather can’t be guaranteed in a region of fast-changing climatic conditions, but in the southern summer – November to March – you have a good chance of catching some clear, sunny days.

Trekking is one of the best things to do in Patagonia, a vast and scarcely-populated wilderness of outstanding natural beauty which straddles the Andean border of southern Chile and Argentina. It is a primeval land of towering granite peaks, frontier-bending expanses of windswept pampa pitted with sparkling glacial lakes, and a huge domed sky which can be egg-shell blue calm or torn apart by angry clouds. There’s a well-developed and expanding infrastructure to cater for the domestic and international demand for outdoor adventures, especially trekking.
