Jose Miguel Dattoli

With its breathtaking beauty and stunning scenery,  this 6-day trek from Argentina to Cochamo, Chile via Paso El Leon really is a dream come true for hikers. Follow me and discover Patagonia at its best!

Huge mountains, friendly people and delicious foods will all be part of the trip! Both the Argentinean and Chilean Patagonia offer an ideal setting for this 6-day adventure.

During this backpacking expedition, I will safely guide you all the way from the Argentine steppe to the Pacific Ocean, in the Chilean Reloncaví Estuary. We'll hike through Andean valleys, border rivers and lakes, and lose ourselves in the Valdivian jungle. By following a path from 1902 that was for the passage of cattle from Argentina to the Pacific and for the installation of a telegraph line, we'll learn about this region's history. Also, we'll visit historic caves that were painted by the indigenous nomads known as the Poyas! Furthermore, we'll explore a thousand-year-old Larch forest, learn about Patagonia's amazing flora and fauna and more!

As you can see this 6-day trek will be a rewarding adventure, however, not a light one. That's why I recommend this trip to advanced hikers only. Additionally, it's essential to be in good physical condition.

<h3 style="text-align: justify">Let's cross from Argentina to Chile in this hiking trip in the Andes!</h3>
This 7-day trek in the Patagonia purposes a border crossing from Argentina to Chile. We will go from Bariloche to Puerto Varas through the amazing Vuriloche Pass. It is located at 1390 meters in the south of the <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/ascent-cerro-tronador-3-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cerro Tronador</a>.
Walking from a country to another via the Vuriloche Pass is an amazing expedition in any way you can consider it. It is an experience full of seasonings. On the way you will find a mixture of nature, calm, history and the challenge of reaching to the neighboring country.
As for the itinerary, we'll start in Pampa Linda, near San Carlos de Bariloche. After crossing the Andes by the Vuriloche Pass we will get to the Seno de Reloncaví, finding the Pacific Ocean. This gulf is in the Region de los Lagos, in the south of Chile. Furthermore, it is considered the starting point of the Chilean Patagonia.
We will then start the hike admiring the most stunning mountains. Among them, the Cerro Tronador and the Puntiagudo summits. This Andean landscape allows us to enjoy memorable viewpoints, valley, pampas, streams, lakes and meet kind local people.
You can find the complete itinerary at the bottom of this page. Get in touch with me so we can talk about the details of the program and fulfill the challenge together!

After that, we start a long descent among the valleys of Chile, crossing forests and thermal places, until we reach the town of Ralun. The natural spectacle and the experience tend to be stored in the memory sector of "the unforgettable".
