A WORLD CLASS TRAIL RUNNING ADVENTURE ON
ARGENTINIAN MOUNTAINS AND GLACIERS
WHY PATAGONIA?
GLACIERS, GRANITE SPIRES, AND THE UNTAMED SPIRIT OF THE ANDES
***Bonus for 2027 trip: We will be able to experience the Annular Solar Eclipse on February 6th!
Few places on earth match Patagonia for raw natural drama. This adventure takes you deep into Argentina’s southern frontier — where the Patagonian steppe meets towering peaks and ancient ice. You’ll run beneath the jagged skyline of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, trace alpine trails through lenga forests and turquoise lagoons, and stand face-to-face with the thunder of Perito Moreno Glacier. Between runs, discover the soul of Patagonia: wide-open skies, windswept valleys, and the warmth of mountain towns like El Chaltén. Paired with hearty Argentine cuisine, boutique lodges, and a spirit of adventure that’s as boundless as the landscapes themselves, this is trail running at its most epic — a world-class journey across mountains and glaciers you’ll never forget.
