Whether departing from Chile or from Argentina, on this travesía we will explore the untouched geography and nature of the Patagonia. Traveling across its plains, forests, rivers, glaciers and mountainous formations, we will experience the diversity and uniqueness of the flora and fauna, which includes close to 500 animal species and thousands of plant species.
On the Argentine side, the travesía will be based at El Chaltén, in Los Glaciares National Park.
This area, surrounded by huge mountain massifs and dotted with glaciers, is home to more than 100 different bird species and many different mammals, some of which are endemic to the region; this is a place where the nature is exuberant and untouched.
On the Chilean side, the travesía is based at the Torres del Paine National Park.
Declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1978, the park is characterized by its distinctive geological formations and the diversity of the landscape, which is home to over 100 species of birds, 25 species of mammals and 2,500 plant species.
Whether it is the start or end point of the El Chalten travel journey, we will use Hotel Salto Chico, the only lodge located in the heart of the Torres del Paine Park, as a base for our explorations.
