Trekking through untouched backcountry

Argentine Patagonia offers trekking across several regions, from northern Neuquén down to Tierra del Fuego. In Chubut, near Río Pico, trails wind through native forest, hills, and waterfalls with guided access from the lodge, in an area far less traveled than the more famous circuits further south.

Patagonian trekking varies a lot by region — from multi-day technical routes to single-day walks through forest and steppe. In Chubut, near Río Pico, outings are typically full-day, guided, with different difficulty levels depending on the hill or waterfall chosen.

It depends a lot on the destination — Argentina ranges from technical mountain routes to low or medium-difficulty outings suitable for beginners. In Chubut, near Río Pico, most excursions are low-to-medium difficulty, guided, and designed to match the group's level.

Argentina offers trekking across very different regions, from the Andean north to Tierra del Fuego. Our area, in Chubut near Río Pico, is a lesser-known option compared to other circuits in the country, with native forest, hills, and guided-access waterfalls.

It depends on the trail and land access — some stretches are publicly accessible and can be walked independently, while others require prior coordination due to private land or difficult access. Talk it through with the lodge before your trip to see what applies to each destination.

It's worth prioritizing operators with local guides who know the specific terrain well (not just "Patagonia" in general, which is a huge region), and who can tailor the itinerary to your fitness level and dates, rather than a fixed circuit for large groups.

Booking usually starts by sharing your approximate dates and experience level directly with the lodge or operator, so they can put together a matching itinerary before confirming the booking.

Routes vary enormously by region — in Chubut, near Río Pico, hikes typically combine Andean-Patagonian forest, hills, and waterfalls, arranged as full-day outings rather than multi-day tent treks.

Trekking season in Chubut generally runs from spring through fall (roughly October to April), when trails are clearer and weather is more stable — check with the lodge based on the specific destination you're interested in.

The main factors to keep in mind are fast-changing weather and how remote some trails are — that's why most outings are guided, with someone who knows the terrain and how to respond if conditions shift.
