LAKE DISTRICT ADVENTURE

NOVEMBER TO MARCH
Chile to Argentina: Deep into the untouched Andes
7 days exploring the hidden pristine valleys of the Chilean Andes. From pioneer’s house to pioneer’s house along narrow trails surrounded by untouched primary native forests, interspersed with exciting river crossings. Skirting turquoise lakes - glaciers above, white sand beaches underfoot - we ride into the lifestyle of the wel-coming settlers to understand more about their extraordinary existence.
7 DAYS / 6 NIGHTS
ITINERARY
