Trek Patagonia: Lago Grey & Lago Nordenskjold - 3 Days
Tour Overview
Trek Patagonia: Lago Grey & Lago Nordenskjold: exploring the main lakes of Torres del Paine; this is a great trip for those who like to explore the immense lakes around Torres del Paine national park. A short trip with short hikes and great spots for Photography. Discover the best of Patagonia. “Rock, ice, snow, wind, and water, all warring with each other yet combined against man, here reigned in absolute sovereignty.” Charles Darwin said this about Patagonia when he first entered the Tierra del Fuego over some 150 years ago. It’s a very good description of the Southern Cone; the last rugged expanse before the Antarctica and the end of the world. Patagonia is a much larger region than many explorers realise. To have a full experience in Patagonia, takes time, some creativity, and a passion for the vast wilderness of the pampas & beyond. ...more ...less
