Chile, Torres Del Paine Trek Charity Challenge

Grade:  Tough
 

This is one of our outline challenge itineraries. If you are interested in running this as a fundraising event, please contact us for more information. If you are looking to take part in a charity challenge please see upcoming events.

Chile draws adventurers to its spectacular Pacific coastline and trekkers to some of South America's finest national parks. Despite having the most European community in South America, fascinating indigenous traditions persist in the Andean foothills and on the southern plains.

Our five-day trek takes place far to the south in the Torres del Paine National Park, truly one of the world’s most magnificent wilderness areas. It is here that the Andes finally end at the Patagonia Ice Cap, glaciers pour out into icy coastal fjords and turquoise lakes, and sculpted pillars of black granite thrust skyward from the windswept pampas. It is a stunning environment of awesome dimensions, where wild mustang horses, guanacos, rheas (the Patagonian ostrich) and condors roam unhindered.
