On this week-long Patagonia hiking adventure we follow the world-famous and challenging W route carrying only daypacks, with accommodations including a comfortable base camp and two nights camping. We’ll hike to the foot of the granite spires that give this park its name; explore the shorelines of Nordenskjold, Pehoe and Grey Lakes; climb deep into French Valley; get to know the local flora and fauna and even get up close and personal with a calving glacier. Each night at our lodging accommodations we’ll share the day’s stories over hearty and delicious meals. It’s an unforgettable Patagonia hiking trip that should definitely be on your bucket list.
