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.

San Pedro de Atacama: Best tours and things to do in the desert
What are the best tours to do in San Pedro de Atacama? Here we give you our suggestions of the best things to do in San Pedro de Atacama. …
Highlights - everything really but probably Isabela. The island was so beautiful, lots of areas to explore on your own - the walk to Muro de las Lagrimas, lagoons, beach, watching the pelicans diving for fish around sunset. Los Tuneles was probably our favourite snorkelling trip. Kicker Rock would be a close second, we have some fantastic footage of hammerheads. All the breakfasts were fresh and enjoyable as were the lunches provided on the trips - especially the ceviche on Los Tuneles tour. Andrea, our main contact was great always on time, very friendly, lots of useful information. Overall organisation was excellent - no problems. Thanks again Tom - it was worth the wait!!

To be honest I don't have the words to describe the Galapagos. Breathtaking!! Thank you so much for the excellent organisation, planning and support. The flights, boat, crew, guides, food and itinerary were excellent and worked really well. The wildlife was simply amazing and the weather perfect. No low point. Highlight - everything, but in particular seeing a part of our planet that has not been ravaged by humans. We wished to see as much of the Galapagos as possible and the boat made this possible. We chose Andean Trails because they responded very quickly and efficiently to our original request. Tom has been excellent and we would highly recommend Andean Trails again.
