This trekking expedition , set amid the wilds of the southern Patagonian Andes of Chile and Argentina, features the South Patagonian Ice Field and the Perito Moreno Glacier, two of the natural wonders of South America. The centre-piece is a challenging trek across the ice field.
The South Patagonian Ice Field is the third largest single expanse of ice on earth, exceeded in scale only by Antarctica and Greenland.
Entering Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park, we spend ten days amid its towering granite spires and massive glaciers. Our trek takes us up the Marconi Glacier and onto the ice field for several days.
Experience in the use of crampons and snow-shoes is not a requirement, but previous experience of trekking and camping in winter conditions would be beneficial.
The group size is two up to a maximum of 12 people, and everyone helps to carry communal kit and food as well as own personal gear.
Discover all the highlights of Patagonia’s national parks with our 15 day Patagonia Adventure or, for trekking enthusiasts, our Wilds of Patagonia trip.
Argentina also hosts the mighty Iguazu Falls. Check our group and tailor made options. And you can always contact the office with questions or for advice.
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.
