Patagonia

You’ll arrive in El Calafate, Argentina by Saturday afternoon where we'll have an airport shuttle to our hotel for the first night. 

We’ll check you in and get everyone oriented for what to expect throughout the week, plus it's your first chance to meet your fellow adventurers! Dinner and drinks are included the first night.

Patagonia is a protected region, please check all luggage restrictions before packing!

We're heading to the glaciers! We'll get warmed up for the week with a hike Patagonian glaciers. We'll then take a boat out to the Glacier Perito Moreno located in the Los Glaciares National Park - named after the explorer Francisco Moreno who explored the area in the 19th century and played a significant part in defending the territory of Argentina.

From there we'll gear up for a hike out on the glacier where we'll definitely hear the rumblings of the glacier calving and see it from a different perspective than from the boat. We'll then head back to El Calafate to have a group dinner at one of our favorite restaurants downtown.

Pack your bags, we’re heading to El Chalten, town of climbers! On our way to El Chalten, we will stop in La Leona, the only stopping point on route 40 between El Calafate and El Chalten. We'll run a 7K through sand dunes and past the Viedma Lake reflection of the Andes Mountain Range by Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. 

After our run, we'll have a catered lunch at the Estancia La Estela Ranch before heading to our hotel in El Chalten to check in. On the way to El Chalten, we are going to see the first views of the glaciers and their melted water lakes.

In the evening, we'll have a group dinner in town.

This will be an early morning and the longest run of the week!

We'll drive 25 minutes to the ranch and run near the beautiful lake reflections of Fitz Roy. The loop trail ends back at La Bonanza ranch, where runners can challenge themselves as they finish with the Via Ferrata, a guided rock climbing experience. We'll wrap up the day's activities with an amazing local BBQ experience right here at the ranch. 

In the afternoon, you'll have free time to wander El Chalten and do some exploring or shopping and choose your own dinner plans.

Dinner & free time on your own.

We’re leaving on a jet plane. This morning we’ll wake up, have breakfast at the hotel, and pack our bags to fly up to Bariloche. 

Once we arrive in Bariloche, we will check into our hotel and run at Cerro San Martin with panoramic views of lakes. Then, we'll put our feet up and have a dinner together after a full day of travel and running. Today's laundry day so you'll feel refreshed and your bus-mates will thank you. 

I’m on a boat! Today we’re crossing the Andes! We will travel from Argentina to Chile, not only by boat but on foot as well. This might be the most fun day of the trip, crossing three bodies of water, running across the border from Argentina into Chile, and staying in a private hotel in the middle of the lakes. We will board a boat in Bariloche and cross the Nahuel Huapi Lake.

Once we dock we will run the 5K to the next dock. We will cross Lago Frias, take a short bus ride, and run across the border, finishing the day with a bus ride to Hotel Natura Peulla, Patagonia, where we will stay for the night. These grounds are amazing, whether you take a hike on the paths that lead to spectacular gardens or walk down to it's historic graveyard. As you explore, you'll be encompassed by 360 views of the Andes from the lush valley floor.

After we have breakfast at the hotel we will board our last boat ride and arrive in Puerto Petrohue to run a trail towards the Osorno Volcano flowing through the debris field and end at the shore where we will have a catered lunch on the black sand beach. Our shuttles will pick us up and take us to Puerto Varas where we will enjoy our final celebratory dinner.
