Hike to Patagonia’s highlights on our most popular trekking trip.
This adventure holiday takes you to a walker’s paradise; jagged Andean mountains, blue glaciers and gauchos.
On our Patagonia Highlights small group trekking tour you visit three Patagonian National parks in two weeks.
You travel to the best sites in Argentina’s Los Glaciares (Fitzroy), Chile’s Torres del Paine, and Tierra del Fuego in Ushuaia.
This small group tour includes walks with amazing views of the towering peaks of these national parks.
We start in El Calafate, Argentina, and head to El Chalten.
From here, we trek into our fully-equipped camps in the park – sleeping bags and tents already set up for you, as well as a dining tent and toilet facilities.
You are rewarded, for your efforts, with superb views of Fitzroy, Cerro Torre and the Torre Glacier.
Leaving the park, we dedicate an entire day dedicated to seeing the enormous Perito Moreno Glacier.
Paine National Park and Tierra del Fuego
Cross to Chile and Paine National Park and its mountain and ice gems: the base of the triple towers of Torres, the French Valley and trek to the Grey Glacier.
Those short on time can leave on day 12 and return to your Calafate hostal, leaving from Calafate on day 13.
Or, for the full trip, travel overland to Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia.
En route we stay in mountain lodges and estancias, experiencing the life of the gauchos while visiting stunning lakes and crossing the Magellan Straits.
In Ushuaia, the wildlife comes thick and fast as we visit Tierra del Fuego National Park and the Beagle Channel, home to much marine life and a suitable end to this fantastic Patagonia Highlights trip.

Great park to have on the itinerary. Just enough time to see the highlights and some extras. Guide was great as well as the crew. A nice part of the trip. Hiking was good as well as the camping location. The full camp at Pahoe is great and so is the staff. The park is amazing. Our guide throughout the trip was excellent. A professional when he needed to be on the trip and a fun companion well we could all relax.

All You Need to Know About Inca Trail Tours to Machu Picchu
Trekking and travel expert Tom Shearman shares his useful guide to the different Inca Trail tours available from Cusco, so you enjoy the perfect trek and visit to Machu …
Our Galapagos Island Hopping Tour exceeded my expectations. I loved it!!!! Haley and I had the most amazing trip anyone could ask for. I was so favorably impressed with every aspect and couldn't have asked for more. The tour guides were wonderful, especially Andrea and Valerio in Puerto Ayora. I would endorse Andean Trails without question and for travelers to stay in close contact with their travel adviser. Tom Shearman was so helpful and gave me many useful bits of advice. I was able to witness how the residents are recycling and doing everything within their means to maintain a healthy environment for future generations. Thank you for making this the most memorable vacation we'll most likely ever have. I treasure these photos.
