Description
Join me in an incredible trek adventure through the Patagonia, in southern Argentina and Chile!
I propose a 18-day program in which we’ll discover two of the most beautiful parks in Patagonia: Torres del Paine in southern Chile and Park of the Glaciers in Argentina.
Firstly, we’ll hike through Torres del Paine Park (Chile) in which we can appreciate incredible granite massifs shaped by the glacial ice. In addition, this park offers a unique flora and fauna with many protected species.
Then, we continue in the Park of the Glaciers located in Santa Cruz, Argentina. With 47 glaciers, peaks and many beautiful lakes, it’s one of the most spectacular places in the world. In this case, we’ll focus our trek around the Fitzroy Massif.
Below the program:
DAY 1: Flight from Santiago de Chile to Punta Arenas. We’ll meet at the hotel where we prepare ourselves for the next days.
DAY 2: We drive to Torres del Paine Park, while crossing the Patagonian Pampas. We get to Hosteria Las Torres for then begin our trek to Torres Camp.
DAY 3 – 7: During these days, first of all we hike to Silence Valley where we can admire mythical granite spires such as Fortaleza, Torres del Paine. Then, we continue through Mirador de las Torres from we’ll get beautiful panoramic views of glaciers. Afterwards, we pass across Lake Pehoe to French Valley. The last day we admire the Grey Lake and spend the night at Refugio Pehoe.
DAY 8: We leave the park and drive to Puerto Natales. We spend the night in a hotel.
DAY 9: Drive to El Chalten in Argentina where we spend the night in a hotel.
DAY 10 – 17: Once in El Chalten, we hike to the base of the Cerro Torre, where then we’ll explore the glacier. The next days we’ll hike the incredible Fitz Roy and enjoy amazing views. What is more, we visit Laguna de los Tres and Upper Glacier where we can appreciate the Southern Patagonia Icefield. Lastly, we return to Chalten for then drive to Punta Arenas.

Great guides, great equipment, amazed about how good food was. All round a very experienced and top end operator who know what they are doing and will maximise your chances of getting to the summit. Reaching top Aconcagua was one of greatest highlights of my life thank you Aventuras Patagonicas.

From the start Aventuras Patagonicas was welcoming, which set the trip up on the right foot. The guides, Wes, Lucia and Sebastian were all excellent and worked very hard to get the group of climbers safely up and down the mountain. The food was excellent and well organized. The gear provided on the mountain (tents) were also of good quality. I would climb again with Patagonicas.

I did a 20 day climb of Aconcagua with this company. The guides were excellent and made the trip as enjoyable as possible. We had hot meals every evening and morning. Aconcagua is a hard mountain and it takes a great deal of effort to reach the top. The guides at Patagonicas are committed to each client's safety on the mountain. I would recommend them over any other company on the mountain.
