the amazing things you'll be doing
This tour explores the highlights of this remote and beautiful mountain area of Southern Patagonia. The treks will take you close to the stunning features of Paine and Fitzroy.
You are rewarded, for your efforts, with superb views of Fitzroy, Cerro Torre and the Torre Glacier. There is also an entire day dedicated to seeing the enormous Perito Moreno glacier. Then it’s on to Chile and Paine National Park and its mountain and ice gems: the base of the triple towers of Torres, the French Valley and trek on the Grey Glacier.

Travellers' tales
The most memorable part of our holiday was camping in Mt Fitz Roy National Park; it was so beautiful and the walking was excellent. We had some really good mountain guides; lots of fun. (more)
how this holiday makes a difference
We are committed to working in conjunction with local communities in all the countries in which we operate. We use locally owned services such as hotels and restaurants, paying a fair price for those services. We buy fresh local produce for all of our treks from markets and small shops in each departure town. In preference we choose local over imported goods and use public transport whenever possible and feasible.
On all our trekking tours we aim to minimize waste by using products with minimum packaging, leaving no litter and keeping all water sources clean, leaving camp sites cleaner than we find them.
In the UK office we use recyclable and recycled materials when possible. We recycle what we can and attempt to keep waste to an absolute minimum. We promote paper saving by using email as much as possible and by keeping unwanted mail to a minimum. We use low-energy light bulbs, fair-trade and biodegradable products where possible.
We are involved in on-going training of the staff we work with in the UK and in the Andes to ensure as high as possible standards of environmental care and responsible behaviour.
