  trekking, south patagonia ice cap Map of Chile, Argentina and Patagonia
 

Patagonia, the End of the Earth, is a land of wilderness. The amazing collection of soaring granite spires and vast glaciers of Paine National Park and the Fitzroy mountains offer awesome panoramas and perfect oportunities for adventure treks and expeditions.

The South Patagonian Ice Field, a vast icy wilderness, is exceeded in scale only by Antarctica and Greenland. Here the Ice Age has not ended.

Patagonian Fauna, is unique. Inland are large colonies of Andean condor, guanaco and rhea . Meanwhile, the shoreline hosts colonies of sea lions, penguins, cormorants and southern right whales and orcas.

The Climate

Patagonia is known for the inclemency of its climate. For long summer days the best time to visit is in the Southern hemisphere late spring, summer or early autumn months (October to March). For cold, crisp winter days, with few people about and increased chances of spotting the elusive puma try our August departure.

As well as the group tours listed here, we also offer a comprehensive Tailor Made service for Chile and throughout South America, building unique trips to your requirements.

Also, check our Books and Maps section where you will find a range of literature to help you get the most out of your South American adventure.
