Hiking the Patagonian Andes
Southern Argentina and Chile share an immense expanse known as Patagonia — a land where nature rules supreme. Sculpted by massive glaciers, the Andes lying between the countries were transformed into the lofty peaks and granite spires that are among the most arresting mountain destinations on earth. East of the Continental Divide, the landscapes surrounding Los Glaciares Park are barren, desert-like plains. While to the west, the peaks of Torres del Paine are enveloped in dense forests, wildflower-dotted meadows and sparkling lakes. At the southernmost tip of the range where the Andes meet the ocean lies Tierra del Fuego with its alluring vistas of glaciers, sea and jagged summits. In addition to epic scenery and the colorful gaucho culture of local estancias, the region boasts plentiful wildlife — guanaco, ñandú, condor, fox, penguins and dozens of bird species. view details
