Argentina and Chile, two vast countries at the southernmost end of the world, offer an amazing variety of scenery and places for those seeking adventure, whether hard or of the much softer kind. The combination of mind-stretching distances, of endless areas where man still remains a pioneer, and of the ever-changing topography and climate, is not easy to find elsewhere on the planet. Argentina and Chile offer a perfect playground for those looking to add some hiking, biking, horse riding, or even skiing or mountaineering, to a trip to the region.
Enjoy active, but relaxed and comfortable, hiking round the wonders of the Torres del Paine National Park, staying in a mix of hostels and hotels, and visiting the Grey glacier by boat.
