Visit Patagonia
This unforgettable journey through Patagonia is crafted to stir even the most seasoned adventurer’s soul. From Coyhaique in the north to Puerto Natales in the south, we traverse the wild spine of the region - largely on foot and by boat - through some of the most pristine and awe-inspiring national parks on Earth. Our path winds southward through the remote outpost of Villa O’Higgins, where we board a boat to cross the shimmering waters of Lago O’Higgins, with the vast, otherworldly expanse of the Southern Patagonian Icefield looming nearby. A newly opened and seldom-trodden pass leads us across the border from Chile’s Lago O’Higgins to Argentina’s hidden Laguna del Desierto, offering a rare glimpse into a side of Patagonia few ever witness. And no exploration of this legendary land would be complete without venturing into the iconic Torres del Paine National Park. Here, we complete the famed ‘W’ trek, venturing deep into the dramatic Grey Glacier, the wind-sculpted French Valley, and the rugged beauty of the Ascensio Valley - culminating in an ascent to the base of the towering granite spires of Torres del Paine, where one of the world’s most breathtaking mountain panoramas awaits. Drawing on decades of trekking experience in South America, this journey has been carefully crafted for those who prefer to discover Patagonia on foot - through its wildest routes, iconic highlights, and the quieter trails along paths less travelled.
