Icecap Expeditions & Trekking in Patagonia

• We run regular expeditions (Nov and Dec) to the Southern Patagonian Icefield. The expedition encircles the stupendous Mount Fitroy and Cerro Torre massifs. The Icecap is the largest piece of ice in the world outside the polar regions. It is very special and gives us the chance of a lifetime to sample the nearest thing you will get to an antarctic experience without actually going there!
• We also run day and multi day tours from a base in El Chalten, undoubtedly Argentina's "Trekking Capital". There is great variety from simple day trips to tough multi day tours involving simple glacier and river crossings. All with the spectacular scenery of Los Glaciares National Park close to hand!
