Cerro Tronador (Refugio Otto Meiling)

This two-day Patagonia hike leads to Refugio Otto Meiling on the slopes of Cerro Tronador, one of the most prominent peaks in the Bariloche region. The route climbs through coihue and lenga forests before emerging onto a high rocky ridge that culminates at the refuge (1,905m). Positioned between the Castaño Overa and Alerce glaciers, the stay offers a unique opportunity to witness active glacial calving. The trail follows a well-defined path of forest floor and alpine rock, with a final sustained push to reach the rocky spine where the hut perches.

The Markha Valley Trek is a significant multi-day route within the Hemis National Park in Ladakh. The trail follows the Markha River through a high-altitude arid landscape, characterized by stark geological formations and traditional high-altitude villages. The route involves traversing several internal high-altitude passes and provides a deep dive into traditional Ladakhi agricultural and monastic life. It perfectly combines high-altitude trekking with rich cultural heritage.
