The purity of Patagonia, home to some of the wildest scenery on earth, has drawn nature lovers for decades.
Yet it remains a revered sanctum of unspoiled wilderness. Join VBT as we pull on our walking shoes for some of the most magnificent walks you’ll ever take, past jagged granite spires piercing the sky … windswept glaciers lapping at pristine lakes … and sprawling pampas and green forests of lenga trees. Along the way, we picnic at mountaineer base camps, learn the history of the rustic estancias that dot this rugged landscape, and explore charming outpost villages. It’s a Walking Vacation that’s nothing short of inspiring!
