Chile Trek and Desert Combination | 15 days

This journey highlights the most extreme environmental contrast imaginable: Chile’s mountainous Patagonia and the ‘moonlike’ Atacama desert. Explore Patagonia’s Torres del Paine National Park on horseback and undertake the demanding 10-day ‘circuit’, camp, stay in refugios and access remote areas by boat or complete a five or seven-day walk. This is a landscape of immense batholithic pinnacles, soaring ‘horns’ and jagged turrets dwarfed by densely glaciated and barren surroundings. Combine this with an exhilarating visit to the geysers, salt flats, volcanoes, flamingos, and the Valley of the Moon in northern Chile’s Atacama Desert.
