Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and rich history of Patagonia on this unforgettable trekking expedition. Utilizing horses to lighten our loads and deepen our cultural connection, we journey through farms and mountains before exploring Patagonia National Park’s conservation achievements. Our trek begins by winding through traditional Patagonian campo and ascending into the mountains, grateful for our horses as we reach a stunning campsite overlooking the Jeinimeni mountains, where we’ll engage with a gaucho tending sheep and enjoy a delicious camp dinner by the fire. As we climb a dramatic plateau, we’ll take in sweeping views of Lago General Carrera and the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, hiking through unique rock formations and lush meadows. The final leg of our horse-supported journey leads us through glacial valleys back toward Lago General Carrera, culminating in a celebratory asado at La Naviera. After a night of relaxation at a luxurious lodge, we’ll tackle a dramatic 9-mile loop hike in Patagonia National Park, with options for a challenging finale or a scenic grassland trek. Finally, we’ll drive the iconic Carretera Austral, soaking in the stunning landscapes before bidding farewell at Balmaceda airport.
