Imagine yourself hiking through the stunning landscapes of Patagonia, one of the most iconic wilderness regions on Earth. From the towering peaks of the Andes to the vast glaciers of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, Patagonia has something to offer every hiker:
Explore Los Glaciares National Park and marvel at the colossal Perito Moreno glacier, a colossal ice giant located in Lago Argentino. Walk along the many footbridges set up to offer you multiple points of view on this jewel and its magnificent landscapes.
Embark on a challenging hike to the Laguna Torre viewpoint, where you will be rewarded with stunning views of the Cerro Torre and Cerro Adela peaks, as well as the ice floes that have calved off the Torre glacier.
Journey through the charming fishing village of Puerto Natales, located on the shores of the Última Esperanza fjord and surrounded by the Señoret Canal. From here, you will approach the main entrance of the Torres del Paine National Park, Laguna Amarga.
Hike to the world-famous Base Torres viewpoint, and bask in the breathtaking views of the three Torres del Paine peaks and the surrounding landscape.
Traverse a narrow, winding valley to the Los Patos lagoon, where you will glimpse the vast southern ice fields and the ice floes of Lake Grey. Continue on, passing the sometimes windy lookout, and descend through mountainous forest to Gray Hut. From there, a short 10-minute walk will lead you to the Grey Glacier viewpoint, where you will come face to face with one of the arms of Campos de Hielo Sur, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
Journey into the heart of Torres del Paine National Park along the blue waters of Lake Skottsberg, passing by the Italian Camp. Climb some large boulders and continue through the forest to the Mirador Francés (French Lookout). At the French Lookout, be rewarded with incredible views of Los Cuernos, turquoise glacial lagoons, and incredible hanging glaciers tumbling down the east face of Paine Grande mountain.

What people are saying about Quique
Marie-Laure
The alpine huayhuash trek was an amazing experience. Intense and Out of the beaten path with incredible landscapes. Quique is a very knowledgeable guide who will take you to the most unique places. I felt very safe the whole time. The logistics was on point, the team (cook and mule guy) very friendly and the food very good. One of my best treks so far and I will highly recommend going with Quique however be sure to be physically fit !
I was with Quique and Blass on his initial climb of Sullcon and Paca. It was spectacular, we climbed a new route on a rarely climbed mountain.
Very fun trek with Quique. The food was great. The climb of Artesonraju was amazing and made safe with Quique's skill. Want to do it again!
We trekked / climbed the Alpine version around the Huayhuash and walked with the Condors! We camped at the touching the void expedition's base camp. Beautiful.
