You can cross 5,000m passes on the Huayhuash Circuit, make your first glacier climb on Huayna Potosí above La Paz, ride single track in the hills around Cusco, raft the Futaleufú, or cross the Túnel River by Tyrolean traverse on Patagonia’s Huemul Circuit.

We’ve spent years walking, cycling and climbing in the Andes. That means we’ll tell you how hard each trip really is, how long you’ll need to acclimatise and which months give you the best weather.
