Walks & Hikes
Both Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares offer some of the most spectacular walks and hikes of any region in the world. National Geographic awarded this region one of the top spots in its ranking of the best hiking destinations on the planet. During our Wild Patagonia adventures, we offer amazing opportunities to walk and hike among gnarled, mysterious beech forests and open plains to glaciers, roaring waterfalls, glacier-carved valleys and towering granite giants that glow as if on fire with the light of dawn and dusk. The difference between Naturalist tours and Active tours when it comes to this activity, is that the hikes are more demanding on our Active option. We reccommend the Active tour for those who are in good shape and can stand long hikes (5 - 6 hours) on varied terrain. This really is the best activity to see the wonders of Patagonia and take in views of some of the most dramatic landscapes on earth.
