Fitzroy and Paine W trek - self-guided
Our self-guided Patagonia trek allows you the freedom to hike independently around Fitzroy and Paine national parks while staying in cosy hotels and mountain lodges.
We take care of booking your accommodation, buses, ferries and meals so you can concentrate on enjoying the walking.
The flexibility to trek at your own pace around these treasures of Argentina and Chile make this adventure holiday ideal for trekkers who don’t want to carry a heavy backpack or camp. The trails are well signposted, and you can buy the maps from us in advance!
Fitzroy and Paine parks
Fitzroy National Park features dramatic, spiky peaks thrusting out of ancient glaciers and forests.
In Fitzroy, you could trek to the foot of Mount Fitzoy, Cerro Torre glacier and the Pliegue Tombado viewpoint, or Lago Viedma, depending on your will. Nights are spent in Chalten, at a comfortable hotel or hostal.
Paine is a mix of dramatic scenery, beautiful forests and huge lakes, and our Paine W takes you up close to all the highlights.
In Paine, we’ll take care of your meals, ferries and buses as you trek the famous Paine W - you just spend time enjoying Chile’s iconic national park. At the end of each great day of trekking – Grey Glacier, French Valley, Towers of Paine – a cosy mountain refugio will be your shelter.
Perito Moreno glacier
No holiday to Patagonia is complete without a day at the spectacular and enormous Perito Moreno glacier.
The glacier is 18 miles long, three miles wide and up to 2,300ft deep. It is advancing quickly, and you are guaranteed to see huge icebergs crashing into the lake it feeds.
The itinerary suggested here is just that. We can modify the days, accommodation, add guides or cover only one park, to meet your exact needs. Contact the office for more ideas or to order your map.
