About this trip

This trip crosses the Andes through Patagonia, linking El Calafate in Argentina with Puerto Natales in Chile, two towns that each open onto very different landscapes.

In El Calafate you get close to the Perito Moreno Glacier on foot, with time built in to explore local traditions, from estancia life to Patagonian lamb and craft beer. Over the border, Puerto Natales serves as your base for Torres del Paine, with its granite towers, glaciers and turquoise lakes.

It's a partially guided trip, so some days are structured around key sights and others left free for you to explore at your own pace.

What you'll do

  • Walk the panoramic trails around Perito Moreno Glacier
  • Optional trek on the glacier's surface
  • Visit a remote estancia to learn about Patagonian ranch life
  • Optional day trip to El Chaltén, Argentina's trekking capital
  • Cross the Andes from El Calafate to Puerto Natales
  • Explore Torres del Paine National Park's peaks, lakes and pampas
Good to know
  • Partially guided — some days are free for you to plan yourself
  • Glacier trekking and the El Chaltén excursion are optional extras
  • Involves a border crossing between Argentina and Chile
