Walking grade

Grade 5

This is a Grade 5 holiday. It combines walking in the Patagonian Andes with a little sightseeing in Buenos Aires and Santiago, two iconic capital cities. There are plenty of opportunities for walking through beautiful scenery. The walking in all of our Patagonian centres is not particularly high altitude. 

The highest point we reach on the holiday will likely be 1200m at Pliego Tumbado walking from El Chalten. Paths are generally good underfoot. However they are sometimes stony and steep for short sections so walking poles can be useful.

Overview

Holiday Highlights

  • Admire the iconic peaks of Torres del Paine National Park.
  • Observe incredible wildlife - Guanacos, condors, rheas and more...
  • Get up close and watch Perito Moreno glacier calving on a boat tour.
  • Hike the magnificent trails surrounding Mount Fitzroy and El Chalten.
  • Stay in a lodge in the heart of Torres del Paine, with views of 'The Towers'.
  • Local guides for expert knowledge and guidance
  • Visit to Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires, the resting place of Eva Peron.

Where the craggy peaks of the Patagonian Andes are too steep to hold snow, bare rocks pierce the sky. The famous Torres del Paine are perhaps the most well-known and iconic example of this. Snowy mountains are common but here things are different. Weather is extreme, colours are rich and vibrant, and views are simply too beautiful to put into words.

You begin your Patagonian journey in Buenos Aires where you take a guided tour exploring all the sights and sounds of the city, including an unmissable tango night. Next up is El Chalten where rewarding walking awaits, with magnificent views of Fitzroy and the surrounding peaks. One of your walks ends on the shores of Lago Torre, where you are rewarded with immense views of Cerro Torre and of the Grande Glacier.

Water is everywhere in Patagonia. Glacial streams plummet from the mountains into rivers and lakes. A boat trip from El Calafate takes you past immense icebergs, floating gently by as you cruise alongside a vertical wall of ice. Perhaps you’ll be lucky and hear the thunderous cracking as a chunk of ice the size of a car, calves off and crashes into the water. The feeling is eerie but quite magnificent.

In Torres del Paine National Park the walking is superb, some of the finest in the world. This treeless world offers expansive views and you may notice a guanaco has strolled into view or an Andean condor crossing the sun. These are not experiences to be had elsewhere. We’ll explore valleys and hills always with the Andean peaks as a backdrop. Light and shadow change constantly as southern winds drive clouds across the sun; this is nature at its wildest and most pure.

Finally you flight to Santiago where you have a guided tour of Santiago to discover the city highlights. Literary buffs might be attracted to sites associated with Pablo Neruda, Chile's Nobel prize winning poet.
