Hut-to-Hut Trekking Circuit

Patagonia Sur is developing a 70 km hut-to-hut trail system which will open to the public in 2015. During a 5-day, 4-night trek, backpackers will hike through ancient forests, past pristine mountain lakes, to the Melimoyu glacier that peaks at 2,400 meters. Visitors will pass a towering 100 meter waterfall, and if lucky, spot a pud, the indigenous miniature deer, an endangered Darwin's frog, or a beautiful Magellanic woodpecker.
