The landscape around the town of El Calafate, also called Calafate, is tamed by never ending steppe and rock bushes until abruptly facing the vertical granite walls of the Andes. The town centers around the magnificent Perito Moreno glacier and its wide open skies. This region offers a variety of treks around lakes, natural reserves for bird watching and several distance treks on the glacier.
From 2015, El Chalten is nationally recognized as the “National Capital of Trekking” because of its numerous trekking circuits with varied difficulty graduations, dozens of highly technical rock climbing routes and many gastronomic and tourism services available to support visitors coming from around the globe. Of all the peaks in El Chaltén, Mount Fitz Roy amazes with its 3405 masl and unique silhouette. The town’s name originates from the aboriginal languages Aonikenke and Tehuelche, and means the steaming mountain, due to the cloud columns that form when the wind pushes them against its peaks.
Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago at South America’s southernmost tip, shared by Chile and Argentina. It’s known for its dramatic landscape of snowy mountains, glaciers, tundra and wind-sculpted trees. Its main island, Isla Grande, is home to the Argentine resort town of Ushuaia. Sometimes called “the End of the World,” Ushuaia is a gateway to the region and Antarctica to the south.
At the end of the day, once you’ve filled your body with the purest glacier air, you’ll get the chance to enjoy the coziness and culinary delights of the Patagonian lodges and hotels. We invite you to come and join us in this unique region where the ice meets the sky.
Guides: Shannon Harris, Gastón Rizzi
