Just got back to my room from dinner after my first full day of the Condor tour. It was a lot of driving as we had to make our way from Punta Arenas, which is where I flew in to from Santiago, to Puerto Natales, the launching spot (well almost) for our W hike, a four day/three night, 70 km hike deep into Torres del Paine National Park. Dating back 12 million years, Torres is a hiker's delight located deep in Patagonia. Millions of years ago magma (insert Dr. Evil saying “liquid hot MAGMA”) intrusions failed to make their way to the earth's surface, cooling underground into resistant granite. In the interim, water, ice and snow eroded the softer surrounding terrain to liberate the massive spires for which the park is known. Read more...

Patagonia Adventure Tour & Chile/Argentina Travel Tips
From the moment you land in Puerto Natales, Chile, to hiking in Torres del Paine Park, Patagonia lives up to the hype| Patagonia tours are synonymous with intense rugged beauty and hiking Patagonia is almost a surreal experience. Never will you find a more intensely beautiful, rugged and diverse countryside, from vivid green alpine meadows dotted with wildflowers, to glacier fields stretching as far as the eye can see.
But where exactly is Patagonia? Geographically speaking, it's 2,000 kilometres (or 1,200 miles) of mountain ranges at the southern tip of South America straddling the Argentine/Chilean border. In adventure travel folklore, however, it's a mythical outdoor playground like no other. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. Whether you enjoy rugged mountain climbing, or an easy jaunt through the hills, this place will absolutely blow your mind. Hiking in and trekking Patagonia is some of the best - if not the best - in the world, and we've been just about everywhere. See more photos and read more about Patagonia in our latest brochure. |

| Patagonia, put simply, is the hiking capital of the world… Immense craggy mountain ranges erupt straight up from colossal boulder fields, vast rivers of ice calve into deep blue lakes, and its intricate coastline is strewn with uncharted fjords and inlets. It’s the type of scenery that leaves an indelible impression in your memory – one that photos will never quite manage to replicate. On the Condor you’ll visit some of the most amazing places on Earth, by foot, kayak, bike and boat. You’ll enjoy incredible views as you hike in the Fitzroy area of Argentina, trek in Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park, cycle by a sinuous river outside charming El Chalten and sea kayak a breathtaking fjord. You’ll need to be in reasonable shape for this trip, but there’s no need to be a super athlete. This is a trip for real people with a passion for the outdoors. If you enjoy hiking through amazing scenery, the Condor is the trip for you! (Please note: We've recently added a day to this trip so you'll be able to visit the penguin colony and end up back in Punta Arenas instead of El Calafate, but we've kept the 13-day price!) |
