Hikes & Secrets of Patagonia

Day 1

Santiago – Welcome to Chile

Arrive in Santiago, Latin America’s most modern and vibrant capital. With the Andes as a towering backdrop over the city’s skyline, Santiago blends tradition and innovation. Our team will greet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. In the evening, meet your fellow travelers for a welcome dinner where Chilean flavors and local wine set the tone for the journey ahead.

Day 2

Puerto Natales – Gateway to Patagonia

Fly south to Puerto Natales, a charming town nestled on the shores of the Última Esperanza fjord, where mountains meet the sea. Visit a rural estancia and share an authentic once chilena: warm sopaipillas, fresh pebre, and local wine. Meet Patagonian ranchers, hear their stories, and watch a private demonstration of sheepdogs at work — a glimpse into a way of life rooted in the land.

Day 3

Secret Trail I – Condor’s Paradise

Today, lace up your boots for a little-known trail rarely walked by travelers. The path winds through rugged rock formations, hidden caves, and sweeping vistas where condors soar overhead and silence reigns. This secret route offers a gateway into the authentic, untamed side of Patagonia — far removed from the crowds.

Day 4

Torres del Paine – Base Torres Trek

Welcome to Torres del Paine, the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. Take on the legendary Base Torres trek: cross rivers, climb through native forests, and ascend to the glacial lagoon at the foot of the three iconic granite towers. Tonight, enjoy the rare experience of sleeping inside the park in a cozy mountain refugio — a night under the stars like no other.

Day 5

Torres del Paine – Grey Glacier

Still inside Torres del Paine, the adventure continues with a navigation across Grey Lake to admire the colossal walls of the Grey Glacier, belonging to the Patagonian Southern Ice Fields, the largest on the world. Sail past millennium icebergs sculpted by time, then explore different viewpoints that reveal the park’s immense scale and beauty. A full day immersed in one of the planet’s most extraordinary landscapes.

Day 6

Secret Trail II – Volcanic Landscapes

Travel south toward Punta Arenas, stopping for a soft hike in an area that shows that Patagonia is more than ice and mountains, you’ll explore a vast field of dormant volcanoes, craters, and lava plains. Guanacos roam freely across the windswept steppe, and the terrain feels like stepping onto another planet. This surreal landscape offers both solitude and wonder, a Patagonia that remains untouched and wild.

Day 7

Secret Trail III - The End of the America

Embark on a remote trek to the southernmost tip of the American continent. The trail follows rugged coastlines, dense forests, and rolling hills until reaching a windswept promontory marked by the Cross of the Seas. Demanding yet deeply rewarding, this is a journey to the true edge of the world.

Day 8

Penguin Island – Wildlife Encounter

Sail across the Strait of Magellan to Penguin Island, home to thousands of Magellanic penguins. Walk among the colony as the birds waddle, call, and dive into the sea — a rare chance to observe these charismatic creatures in their natural habitat. Return to Punta Arenas for a free afternoon to rest or explore the southern city’s cafés and waterfront views.

Day 9

Carretera Austral – Into the Wild

Fly to Aysén region in northern Patagonia and begin your journey along the legendary Carretera Austral, one of the world’s most scenic roads. Travel through pristine valleys, rivers, and mountains until reaching a cozy remote lodge surrounded by nature. This lakeside retreat will be your base for the next days, offering peace and connection to Patagonia’s hidden heart.

Day 10

Marble Caves – Kayaking Adventure

Paddle a kayak across the turquoise waters of Lake Chelenko to explore the Marble Caves, one of Patagonia’s most surreal wonders. Gliding silently, you’ll enter natural cathedrals carved by water over millennia, where swirling stone and reflected light create an otherworldly scene. Few experiences bring you this close to the raw beauty of Patagonia.

Day 11

Secret Trail IV + Farewell Asado

Set out on your final light hike, following a secret trail through native forests to a hidden waterfall deep in Patagonia’s wilderness. The sound of rushing water and the serenity of the forest make this hike a perfect ending to the journey. In the evening, gather with your group for a farewell asado, celebrating friendship and the epic adventure shared.

Day 12

Departure

We’ll leave paradise on Earth. Your Patagonian journey may end here, but the memories — condors in flight, guanacos grazing, hidden trails, and fireside meals — will stay with you forever.

Transfer to the airport for your flight back to Santiago.
