Patagonia’s untamed frontier is too big for most to see all in one trip so to maximise time spent adventuring, we suggest focusing on Southern Patagonia. With everything from horseback riding to river rafting, visiting penguins colonies to canoeing through icebergs, Southern Patagonia is an adventurer’s wildest dream. In Patagonia’s heartland there are a magnitude of postcard worthy national parks and protected biospheres to explore across both Argentina and Chile.
1. Trek Torres Del Paine National Park, Southern Chile
There are many opportunities to explore the fiercely blue glaciers and lakes and view the picturesque mountains in Patagonia’s most popular park. Visitors come from far and wide to see ‘Los Cuernos Del Paine, a stunning range of granite peaks, and the park’s jaw dropping towers, ‘Torres Del Paine’. All can be seen from the two most popular trails ‘W Trek’ and ‘O Circuit’ that zig zag through and circumnavigate the park respectively. To take in the full beauty of the flora, fauna and terrain, the hikes shouldn’t be rushed. For another immersive experience, consider kayaking through icebergs across the aquamarine waters of Lago Grey, over 500 meters deep.
