More on Route 40 Road Trip
We visit Los Alerces National Park, home of the endangered alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides), 2nd longest living tree species. Here dense temperate forests give way to alpine meadows and high Andean peaks.
We drive across the immense Patagonian steppe to visit the Sarmiento Petrified Forest and the Cave of Hands, cave paintings on the Pinturas River Canyon, declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2017.
From there we will go west to Los Antiguos, by the huge Buenos Aires lake, the second-largest lake in South America. From Los Antiguos we cross to Chile for a day tour to the Marble Caves, in General Carrera Lake.
Next on our journey we go to Lago Posadas on Route 41, the scenic Mount Zeballos Road, through lunar type landscapes. We resume driving the Route 40, staying one night at Estancia La Angostura, a typical Patagonian ranch.
We then drive on to El Chaltén, the Argentinian capital of trekking. Say goodbye to your driver here.
You spend a couple of nights here, giving you time to trek to the granite spires of Fitzroy and Cerro Torre.
The journey continues by minibus to El Calafate for two nights and a chance to set eyes on the vast sparkling glacier of Perito Moreno.

Kirsty, UK. Biking in Ecuador and Galapagos, Aug 2026 Andean Trails organised our holiday adventure in Ecuador at very short notice. We had a week cycling on the mainland and a week snorkelling & hiking in the Galápagos Islands. The organisation was perfect, the cycling was varied, the hotels were all lovely and the food always had veggie and meat options. The local guides were excellent, we learnt so much about local history, culture and animals. Communication was excellent throughout and a small issue with the taxi time was resolved very quickly. Ecuador is a fantastic place to visit and we couldn’t have hoped for anything more.

Jamil Malik, UK. Tailormade Ecuador and Galapagos, June 2026 Overall it was an amazing trip, Galapagos blew our minds with all the nature, very special place, loads of memories to take with us. Highlights: Cuicocha lake first crater walk at altitude (tiring but we all did it) followed by visit to Cotopaxi volcano. The main highlight, arriving in Galapagos, scene out of Jurassic Park. Quilotoa crater lake – amazing to look at. Galapagos – snorkelling, biking, boat trips all excellent. Miguel (Quito part) (guide) was excellent, and Paquito his driver was quiet and polite. Miguel’s knowledge was unbelievable and he adjusted our days as required and accommodated stops etc. Thinking about the next one already!
