Experience Patagonia 

Experience the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia as we explore this beautiful region trekking for 7 days through the Fitz Roy Range in Argentina with its sheer granite towers, sweeping glaciers and bright blue lakes. Visit Perito Moreno Glacier and watch huge icebergs calving from the glacier into Lake Argentino. Finally Exploring the cosmopolitan capital city of Buenos Aires, visiting the Plaza de Mayo and colourful La Boca district.

Our Patagonia Trek begins at the world renowned Fitz Roy Range and can rightly be regarded as one of the world’s finest mountain areas worthy of being compared with Nepal’s Annapurna and Peru’s Huayhush Ranges. The Fitz Roy Range straddles the southern icecap the largest icecap outside the earth’s Polar Regions and is easily the de-facto trekking mecca of Patagonia.
