You bring your own sleeping bag & insulating mattress. We transport all the equipment and your belongings until 8 kg / 16 lb per person. You carry the rest of your belongings. There may be very few specific trails where we expect you to carry your own sleeping bag and personal items you will use for one night. These cartage services together with all our services allow the group to focus on the trekking, not wasting time and efforts on carrying luggage & campsite equipment, solving supported services & meals, etc.
To get the most out of these Intense Trekking & Camping programs you should be in good physical condition. Previous technical skills on trekking are not necessary, because this hiking program is not technically difficult. We trek approximately six to nine hours a day, at gentle pace, with intermediate stops. The treks involve several ascents and descents (some long and steep). Previous experience in walking and camping in remote areas would be beneficial, because we extensively use campsites. We do not hike above 1500 meters/4920 ft. In fact it’s one of the strong points of these trips, where you can trek wonderful mountains trails without having to reach high altitudes where oxigen is low.
How to select your Intense Trekking Trip
It seems an easy task as there are only 2 trekking trips: Fitz Roy Wild Trails (VFR) and Torres Del Paine “W” Circuit (PW8), each one on both Patagonia´s best National Parks: Los Glaciares (in Argentina) and Torres del Paine (in Chile). But it's not easy to choose which one to take, as both Southern Patagonia National Parks are astonishing magical landscapes. So for those trekking lovers who want to have a really intense trekking experience and have 3 weeks available we join both trips and create the 20 days trip Patagonia Wild Trails (VAT), which certainly is our most recommended Patagonia travel & trekking trip.
Description: We trek across the northern part of the Los Glaciares National Park,
around
the Fitz Roy area near El Chalten, and as an impressive plus, we trek one
day over the Torre Glacier. The Fitz Roy Wild Trails is a very popular program
for those active travelers who enjoy intense trek but are not interested
in climbing or risky activities and do not need technical skills. We use
campsites to stay inside the Los Glaciares National Park, where we transport
all the necessary equipment and 8 Kg/16 lb of your personal belongings.
