Outside of Greenland and the Antarctic, the Northern and Southern Patagonia Icefields are the third biggest continental ice sheet. To explore them is a unique opportunity you cannot miss. So pack up your bags and join me on this 8 days private expedition across the Southern Patagonia Icefield!
Come and discover this pristine territory veiled with an endless sheet of ice and mesmerizing rock formations. Also, explore its dazzling glaciers, which flow into captivating fjords and magnificent lakes. Their constant movement has shaped throughout the years the steep valleys and iconic sceneries of this paradise.
Our adventure begins at El Chalten, a small and enchanting village in the argentinian province of Santa Cruz, also known as the National Trekking capital of the country. This charming town lies within the National Park of Los Glaciares, near the Las Vueltas river and the Torre lagoon. So exploring this beautiful place is the perfect way to begin our expedition.
Thereupon, we will enter the Southern Patagonia Icefield through the Marconi Pass. Here, we’ll get the best views of the Fitz Roy and the Cerro Torre massifs. Then, we will head towards the Paso del Viento, where we will enjoy hypnotizing sceneries of the mountains and lagoons brimming here.
Eight days might just be enough to unveil all the beauty of the Southern Patagonia Icefield. But I will make sure we visit the best spots of this marvellous place.
So don’t let this opportunity escape and join me on this private trip. Request to book this trip, and let me guide you across this natural paradise.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
