Dunwoody's Andes Patagonia Trail & Tango (Horse Trek): Chile to Argentina

12 days, Sun 14 Nov 2010 to Thu 25 Nov 2010

Following an isolated and exceptionally beautiful river valley in Northern Patagonia, this fabulous horse trek takes you across the mystical Southern Andes from Chile to Argentina in the footsteps of the early pioneers. Commencing our journey in the Chilean capital of Santiago, we first travel south to the lakeside town of Puerto Varas where we say goodbye to the modern world and step into the wilderness. Down here on the edge of civilisation there are no roads, no mains electricity and no mobile coverage; here we will eat berries from the bushes, drink water from the streams and swim or fish in the crystal rivers. Steering our sure-footed steeds along the Puelo Valley we will witness a startling array of scenery: rain forests, alpine gorges and ubiquitous turquoise rivers, more often than not framed by the magnificent snow-capped Andes. And travelling with our very own gauchos, staying at private homes and enjoying wonderful barbeques and the fine local wine, this is a trip that blends perfectly adventure with comfort, isolation with accessibility, tranquility with jaw-dropping beauty. And don’t forget, in Buenos Aires you can enjoy one of the most fun-loving cities on earth where you will both learn and watch Tango with our very our Strictly Come Dancing star and your own guide, Richard Dunwoody. With many extension possibilities this is trip that really could prove to be a holiday of a lifetime.

Wild Frontiers Price Policy

At Wild Frontiers we believe our clients are savvy enough to see through heavily discounted 'first price' holiday offers and would rather know before they leave home exactly what their tour is going to cost. As such we do not charge local payments, 'optional extras' or force our clients to go through the annoying procedure of splitting every meal bill. With the odd exception our tours are provided on a predominantly full board basis, with mineral water, government passes and permits, entrance fees, and all transport outlined in the various tour itineraries included. Please see individual tour dossiers for specific information.
