We use minibuses to transfer from one location to another, and we hike and go in boat trips to reach the best viewpoints. Accommodations are in hotels and inns. During daylight we perform outdoor activities and in the afternoon we come back to a comfortable and cozy lodge where you can relax and enjoy the evening and night in order to start the next day full of energy again.
We do not use Full Camps in this tours. In some group departures there are incoming services plus guides during the activities and in others there is a tour leader dedicated strictly to the group.
Our Discovery trips are suitable for all kind of passengers. No special requirements, except the desire of hiking in two of the most beautiful National Parks of South America: Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina and Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. They don’t have any kind of technical or physical requirement. The passengers should only be willing to walk an average of 4 to 5 hours per day during the trekking activities. These trips include some moderate treks, which are performed at a slow pace with all the necessary stops, meaning you just need to be reasonably fit to take these trips. All treks include a mid way turn around point. Our only advice goes for not coming with children under 10 that usually don't like to walk 5 hours a day and to people suffering any health problems. In these cases, please ask for advice before reserving.
The group always travel escorted by a local professional tour leader from our staff. While hiking, professional certified mountain guides will lead the walks. Most of the hikes are around 5 hours, on very easy trails, no risky steps. We plan the walks considering also that some people might want to walk less time. During our activities, we get to the best viewpoints and panoramic views in each location. Mountains, spires, glaciers, lakes, forest, the steppe, flowers, birds... Patagonia is all these and much more!
