Argentina

Walking in Patagonia: Southern Glaciers and Tierra del Fuego


15 days from £2,628

The world's most spectacular wilderness mountain treks can be hard to reach. Not so in Argentine Patagonia: walking holidays with fully supported camping/hiking trails are just a short drive away from the airports of El Calafate, Los Glaciares National Park, and Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego National Park. We've put two treks together, the M Trek and a hike on Tierra del Fuego,  in one amazing walking holiday.

Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.

Our Comment

"This is glorious hiking well within the grasp of accustomed walkers of normal fitness. There's no problem with altitude but in these latitudes you get the same spectacular snow-capped scenery and can get up close to glaciers which you expect to find high in the mountains. And in Tierra del Fuego only a handful of people a year have the privilege to walk trails originally created by guanacos."
Claire Milner, Client Information Manager
