Trek Patagonia
Torres del Paine National Park is renowned as one of the most beautiful, unspoiled and remote places on the planet. During our Trek Patagonia Challenge, from 5 - 15 March 2009, we will take you to the heart of this wilderness, located at the southern most tip of Chile. Each day of this moderate trek offers you different rewards in terms of scenery, flora and fauna.
Your trek will take you through rolling and windy grasslands to forests of trees which get smaller with altitude, eventually forming natural bonsai gardens. The sight of turquoise lakes and spectacular glaciers and icebergs will leave you breathless, as will the cascading waterfalls and deep, flowing rivers. Soaring condors, guanacos (wild Andean llamas), ostriches, foxes, a variety of birds and mountain lions all reside in the park and are bound to bring delight to animal and bird lovers alike.
However, the highlights for many are the 12 million year old towering granite spires which reach up to 3,050 metres in height. Each afternoon you can look forward to arriving to camp where your tents will have already been set up, leaving you to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery. Two nights will also be spent in unique and comfortable eco lodges, the perfect compromise between hotel and tent accommodation.
