Trekking in Argentina
Trekking in Argentina is one of our most challenging expeditions due to the mountainous terrain and high altitude. Argentina stretches from the tropics to Cape Horn and shares borders with Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay. As the Andes mountain chain runs the entire length of the country it provides numerous climbing, rafting and trekking opportunities perfect for brave challengers.

The rugged scenery is spectacular and the air is clean and clear. Trek for days without seeing a soul, feel lost in the wilderness, and paddle gently down rivers watching monkeys playing in the trees. Meet farmers using traditional methods to raise their crops and visit awesome natural features such as Iguaçu Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Trekking in Argentina is an adventure waiting to happen. |
Options for trekking in Argentina
Our trekking in Argentina expeditions are co-ordinated by our Programme Manager with your objectives, ages and abilities in mind. All expeditions begin with a phase of acclimatisation to allow you to get used to the weather, surroundings and the challenges ahead. During these short treks in Argentina you will have the option to visit lush mountain forests where you will encounter colourful birds and thriving wildlife. If your group prefers altitude you can trek and set up a base camp in the remote mountains which enables you to go on day treks in the surrounding area.Main phase of trekking in Argentina
All of the treks in Argentina involve following trails that lead you through beautiful mountain scenery. Some take in lush green hills, others remote villages, but all have the breathtaking back drop of the peaks and rolling countryside. |
Once the main trekking in Argentina phase is complete you have the opportunity to undertake worthwhile project work. Conservation projects are popular, and previous teams have assisted biologists and worked on reforestation projects. There are also opportunities for teams to spend time in remote mountain communities assisting with maintenance and construction work and helping in schools. All experiences give you the chance to integrate with locals and give something back to the country you’ve enjoyed on your trekking in Argentina expedition. |
Another post trekking option is to appreciate the landscape of Formosa which lies in the Chaco, a lowland wetland area, from the comfort of a canoe along the tangle of tranquil waterways. Relax as you paddle, taking in the scenery and meeting the wildlife along the way.
Trekking in Argentina – time for rest and relaxation
