Journey to the end of the world on Mountain Kingdoms' brand new small group adventure in Patagonia, travelling from the soaring granite peaks of the Torres del Paine to the windswept wilds of Tierra del Fuego and its wildlife-rich shores and islands.
Enjoy a brief sojourn in the atmospheric city of Santiago, before travelling to the heart of the Torres del Paine National Park to step out from the superb Eco Camp onto the W Trek – the best short trek in the park. Two days of glorious trekking uncovers the park's most celebrated sights - French Valley, Pehoe Lake, Glacier Grey and the twisted peaks of Los Cuernos - whilst staying in spectacularly located refuges. It's back to the cosy domes of the Eco Camp for the final stroke of the 'W' – a superb walk to the dramatic viewpoint at the base of the Towers of Paine.
Crossing the border into Argentine Patagonia, it's time to experience the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Perito Moreno Glacier before flying south to the island of Tierra del Fuego at the very end of the Earth. Here, in this place of stark beauty and wild, foreboding scenery, there are three days to hike the pristine landscapes and explore the surrounding Atlantic waters by small boat and kayak including an up-close encounter with a penguin colony in the Beagle Channel – an unforgettable finale.
The journey home is via Buenos Aires with time to tango in one of Latin America's most vibrant cities.
