What's this trip about?

    To deeply explore both sides of Patagonia, we created a tailor-made journey called Travesía. Explora Travesías are journeys during which we use a van to drive between countries, staying along the way in our camps and finishing or starting in one of our hotels. The drive allows us to access hiking routes along the way in some of the world's most isolated landscapes. Patagonia isn't a country or a place; it's a territory shared by Chile and Argentina. Travesía El Chaltén focuses on both the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, and the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina.
