This trip is for those looking for the opportunity to walk amongst some of the finest mountain scenery in South America. As the dark shadows of winter recede and the snow begins to melt, the mountain trails of Patagonia come alive with those lucky enough to travel to the southern end of the Andes to witness nature in all its splendour. From El Calafate we visit the amazing Perito Moreno Glacier on its 30-kilometre-long, torturous journey down the mountainside before crashing into Lake Argentino. The creaking of the glacier as it slowly advances and the sound of huge sections of ice falling into the lake is something you won"t forget for a very long time. El Chalten is the centre for three fabulous days of mountain walks that will lead you to the base camps of magnificent Mount Cerro Torre and the Fitzroy massif. Returning to our lodge each afternoon, these relatively easy hikes offer stunning vistas and the opportunity for anybody with a moderate level of fitness to stand in awe at some of Patagonia"s most famous mountains. At the end of this short adventure, why not consider flying to Ushuaia where you can embark on one of Peregrine"s Antarctic voyages to the frozen continent?
