Patagonia is a distinct geographical region at the base of South America spanning the lower sections of Argentina and Chile. On the Chilean side, it starts in the Araucanía region extending down to the extreme southern tip of the country. On the Argentine side, it begins in the province of Rio Negro and carries on all the way to Tierra Del Fuego.
The vast Patagonia region covers about 777,000 square kilometres (300,000 square miles) of Argentina, which is about a third the country, and another 340,000 square kilometres (131,275 square miles) or nearly half, of Chile.
Torres del Paine's most famous hiking route is a 74 km (46 miles) hike done over 4 or 5 days. The main highlights include hiking to the base of the Towers, the French Valley and its hanging glacier, and Lago Grey.
This 136 km (85 miles) hike is a longer, tougher version of the W Trek that mixes refugios and campsites that is normally completed in 7 to 9 days.
Witness the calving of this famous glacier via the viewing platforms, hop on a cruise or kayak tour, or grab crampons and ice axe for an unforgettable ice hiking experience.
This 25-km (15-miles) return hike will bring you to the legendary lagoon and De los Tres glacier, for close views of the granite walls of Mount Fitz Roy.
The oldest National Park in Argentina, Nahuel Huapi National Park is an outdoor enthusiast's dream just outside of Bariloche.
Situated in Los Glaciares National Park, this 3-hour return hike leads to expanded views on the famous granite peak of Cerro FitzRoy.
Late December to early March marks the summer, and it's also the best time to visit Patagonia. In the southern region, where our 'Condor' trip is focused, daytime temperatures range from 70-80°F (21-27°C) in the sun. Nighttime temperatures in Punta Arenas, the capital of Chile’s southernmost region, range in the 40s Fahrenheit (4-10°C) and can dip into the 30s on the trail (-1-4°C). The wind chill in the southern Patagonia region can really keep the temperature down, and due to the region’s proximity to two big oceans, and the Southern Patagonian Icecap, you’ll likely see lots of different weather, at any time of year!
In the northern part of Patagonia, where we explore on our 'Puma' trip, temperatures tend to be a little warmer, but being prepared for lots of different types of weather is still a great idea.
At the heart of the southern area of this vast wilderness area is the Torres Del Paine National Park. The 'Towers of Blue', sheer granite peaks rising a kilometre (3,000 ft) into the sky, offer a neck-bending panorama on the world-renowned W-Trek. Perito Moreno and Grey Glaciers are a sight to behold, and there's no better way to soak it all in than with your boots on the ground, a paddle in your hands, or a bike under you.
