Trekking Programs in Argentina

No matter what type of trekking adventure travel programs in Argentina you choose amongst, the views will be majestic and you’ll be sure to leave already making plans to return. With plenty of options for beginners and experts alike, a few of the best cities to consider are:

Mendoza. Known for its excellent vinos, arid Mendoza is nestled in the foothills of the Andes. Trailheads often start from local ski resorts offering stunning views of wine country. From here you can even climb Aconcagua, the tallest peak outside of Asia!

San Carlos de Bariloche. Located at the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, Bariloche is the chocolate capital of Argentina and gateway to the jaw-dropping scenery of Patagonia’s lake district. From here you can create the itinerary of your dreams, from short treks to multi-day camping trips overnighting in refugios dotted along the trail.

El Chaltén. This tiny town is the epicenter of trekking in Argentina (and it’s no wonder given the city’s proximity to Parque Nacional Los Glaciares in the heart of Patagonia). Many say if you can make only one trek in Argentina, it should be towering Mt. Fitz Roy that can be seen from the center of town.

The way we were taught skills and then got to keep building on them was very empowering.

The location was incredible, the access to amazing climbing and hiking areas. Plus easy access to glaciers. Being trusted to use the skills we were taught was very rewarding. The way we were taught skills and then got to keep building on them was very empowering.

The best part was the group of students I got to do this program with. Each person was unique and special and taught me something about friendship, overcoming challenges, appreciating each other's differences, managing stress and fear, the importance of communication, being a good leader, and building confidence to take on new challenges. I definitely couldn't have gotten through as much of the program as I did without their support and friendship. I also would say the level of challenge was excellent and exceeded my expectations, and forced me out of my comfort zone nearly every day and pushed me to grow personally and in my confidence in the outdoors. Also the location of the program in El Chalten, it became like home to us and is truly a trekking and nature lovers paradise.
