Fitzroy & Paine

18 days - from $4820

Trekking among breathtaking peaks on the edge of the Continental Ice-Cap
An adventurous two-part trek in Patagonia, the most southerly region of Argentina and Chile, where the scenery is dramatic and the trekking world-renowned. As well as spending time in the Torres del Paine National Park, hiking to the base of the Towers of Paine and close to the Grey Glacier, we also visit the spectacular Moreno Glacier and pass the beautiful, glittering lakes of southern Argentina and Chile. All this is a precursor to our week trekking through the stunning Fitzroy region, visiting Fitzroy and Cerro Torre Base Camps with views of the Continental Ice-Cap that lies just beyond the range.
