Tour Overview
The foothills of the Patagonian Andes offer wild beauty with the best highlights of Southern Patagonia, trekking to the Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre granite needles and the wilderness of Laguna del Desierto, one of the few places where you can still easily see the Patagonian deer or “huemul” and pristine mountain woodland surrounded by glaciers extending all the way to the Chilean border. This is definitely one of the best and most isolated treks you can do in this wild area of Patagonia.
