Discover Adventure - Trek Patagonia on an Open Challenge




INTRODUCTION

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.


ALL OUR OPEN CHALLENGES ARE ADVENTUROUS AND CHALLENGING BUT ACHIEVABLE BY MOST PEOPLE PROVIDED THEY TRAIN WELL IN ADVANCE!
