Paine and Fitz Roy Adventure

13 days - from $4850

This spectacular trekking adventure incorporates Patagonia's finest mountain landscapes

During the southern summer, the storm clouds recede and the sun shines on the rugged Patagonian landscape. This is the time to take to the trails and walk amongst some of the most stunning mountains on earth. From El Calafate we cross into Chile to the Torres del Paine National Park. Five magnificent days are spent trekking in the reserve, taking us to the base of the giant ‘Towers of Paine’, the Grey Glacier and the beautiful French Valley. Returning to Argentina we visit the famous Perito Moreno Glacier before transferring to our lodge in El Chalten, our base for sensational day walks to Lagunas Los Tres, Fitz Roy base camp and Laguna Torre at the foot of the giant Cerro Torre. Our final day can include a trek to Pliegue Tumbado, where the views over both Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy are incredible.
