Patagonia Overland: Puerto Varas to Ushuaia
Some roads pull you forward. This one pulls you south — further into Patagonia's wilderness until the continent runs out of road. Eighteen days on the Lando, rolling from the volcanic lakes of Puerto Varas all the way to Ushuaia at the bottom of the world. Glaciers that crack and groan. Skies so dark the stars barely look real. The end of the earth has never felt so worth reaching.
Highlights
Roll out of Puerto Varas through the volcanic lakes and lush forests of the Lake District, Drive south along the legendary Carretera Austral as Patagonia gets wilder by the kilometre, Hike beneath the granite towers of Torres del Paine on trails that earn their reputation, Watch Perito Moreno Glacier shed walls of ice into brilliant blue water, Sleep under southern skies so dark and clear they barely look real, Arrive at Ushuaia — the end of the road and one of the most earned finishes in travel
Accomodation
Camping in South America is truly an adventure. You will be able to get off the beaten track to get a first-hand experience of the beautiful nature. While camping, we stay at designated campsites and outside towns. Campsite facilities can be basic in certain places. The camps have flush toilets (with some exceptions). Additionally, warm water might be available, but it is not guaranteed to always be warm when you take your shower; the warm water may be used up by others who also use the camp. We usually set-up camp within close proximity to the toilet facilities, though occasionally to reach them you may to walk a short distance. All camping equipment (with the exception of your sleeping bag, sleeping mats, and pillow) is supplied. We supply dome tents and assembly/disassembly will take you only 5 minutes. They are good quality, durable, industry-standard 2-person tents. Please note that most adults will not be able to fully stand up inside the tents, though most travellers find these more than adequate. We travel with our own portable camp chairs with a comfortable back-rest, and we utilize our own cooking equipment to provide the group good quality camp meals. Camps are open to the natural environment – care must be taken, especially at night, when a torch/flashlight is recommended when walking around the camp area. Despite the challenge that a few days “roughing it” may pose to some, the experience of being that close to nature, camping under the stars is not just gratifying but ultimately an experience of a lifetime. Please be note that where we use multi-share accommodations, rooming requests of any kind cannot be taken. For private accommodation please see tours in our Classic Travel Style.
Group Leader
On this tour, you will be accompanied by two Chief Experience Officers (CEOs). The Chief Experience Officers (CEOs) will be the group manager and leader, cook and driver. They will provide information on the places where we are travelling, offer suggestions for things to do and see, and introduce you to our local friends. They will take care of the small things so you can concentrate on enjoying your adventure. All of our CEOs in South America are experienced group leaders, with a broad knowledge base of the region’s history, cultures, and wildlife. All of our overland adventure vehicle (OAV) drivers are experienced in the routes travelled, and highly skilled in dealing with different terrains. Cooks will organize and lead the meal preparation, and have experience in cooking a variety of local and international dishes for large groups. We also use local guides for some included activities where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting.
