Patagonia, Chile’s final frontier, provides some of the best scenery on the planet and some of the best trekking in the southern hemisphere. This is a superb, rewarding challenge for anyone with a sense of adventure and a love for the great outdoors.

We trek via glaciers and turquoise-blue lakes to the renowned granite towers of Torres del Paine National Park, the jewel of Patagonia. The countryside is wild and rugged, and our paths pass towering wind-carved cliffs and mountains, moorland, forests and rich grasslands. We cross ice-cold, pure mountain streams and camp in beautiful locations, continually watching out for the graceful condors that wheel in the skies far above us.
