Patagonia’s best trekking in Torres del Paine and the Fitzroy Massif

Experience breath-taking landscapes within two classic Patagonian trekking regions on both sides of the Chile/Argentina border. Challenging walks are rewarded with majestic views of lagoons, mountains and glaciers. See guanacos grazing and Andean condors soaring overhead, visit the spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier, and find sheer tranquillity in the beautiful wilderness of Torres del Paine National Park. An essential trip for trekking enthusiasts that reveals the stunning glory of nature’s southern American wonderland.

Aldo Kane Collection: A hand-selected range of adventures by our Brand Ambassador:

“There’s no better way to experience Torres del Paine National Park than trekking through it. It’s not uncommon to spot Andean condors circling overhead and Guanacos grazing by your trailside enroute. Making your way up to the viewpoint overlooking the Fitzroy Massif in Los Glaciares National Park is epic. And the spectacle of watching the Perito Moreno ice arch crash into the waters is something you’ll never forget.”

To the far northeast of Argentina, boarding Brazil, lies the magnificent Iguazu Falls (or Iguassu). Add four days to your trip to experience this awe-inspiring sight. Staying on the Argentinian side, you can wander around this Unesco World Heritage National Park packed with flora and fauna. In the heart of the park, you will find the not-to-be-missed cascading waters. You can also get up close to the falls by taking a boat trip as an optional extra.

Salta Extension

Travel to the northwest Argentinean provinces of Salta and Jujuy and encounter a Dali-esque land where nature bends the rules in breath-taking fashion. This extension is the perfect way to end your trip to Argentina, exploring a profoundly different destination. We drive along picturesque roads, through salt flats and colourful rock gorges. Salta is known as the most beautiful city in Argentina. You will not be disappointed.
