Great Crossing of the Andes Expedition (Los Patos Pass)

Chile / Argentina 11 days / 10 nights

An extraordinary and fantastic journey through the Andes Mountains, rescued from history, following the same trails that the Liberation Army traveled in 1817 to liberate Chile from the Spanish monarchy. A beautiful journey, it is an expedition that crosses rivers, sharing with "huasos" and "gauchos" their typical muleteer customs and traditions, framed by the highest mountains in America: Mercedario (6,770 m) and Aconcagua (6,959 m), the highest on the continent, covered in glaciers and eternal snow.

During our tour, you'll discover the breathtaking landscape of our Andes Mountains, rugged and semi-arid in the lower reaches, and barren and stony in the snow-covered valleys. However, in the high-altitude valleys, the landscape is friendly, full of contrasts and life. Abundant wildlife can be seen, including guanacos, viscachas, and condors, keeping watch over their territory from the heights.

Trekking Valle de Flores, Herencia de los Glaciares

Trekking in the Valley of Flowers, Heritage of the Glaciers

6 Days and 5 Nights

The Central Andes were once covered in eternal snow, glaciers of enormous magnitude. With the transition from an glacial era to an interglacial period, geoforms, high-altitude lakes, and vegetation speciation unique to a high Andean region became visible. This is the legacy left by the glaciers, a trace of their stay and passage.

We will advance through small mountain valleys in the "Mesa Seca" range accompanied by our Staff and typical muleteers who will be in charge of organizing and preparing the pack mules and feeding them in the middle of a spectacular mountain setting. Finally, we will have the opportunity to go on kayak excursions to observe the birdlife of the area from a reasonable distance.
