Newport Cliff Walk

The Newport Cliff Walk is a world-famous, 3.5-mile public access walkway that borders the shoreline of Newport, Rhode Island. It is famous not for wilderness or elevation, but for its stunning, unparalleled juxtaposition of nature and Gilded Age opulence. On one side of the trail, the wild, crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean smash against craggy, dark rock outcroppings. On the exact other side, rising from perfectly manicured lawns, sit the massive, historic '$100-million' mansions built by American industrialists like the Vanderbilts and Astors at the turn of the 20th century. Designated as a National Recreation Trail, it transforms a leisurely coastal stroll into an architectural and historical tour.

Considered a premier multi-day trekking route in Los Glaciares National Park, the Huemul Circuit provides a circumnavigation of Cerro Huemul near El Chaltén. The route crosses two significant passes—Paso del Viento and Paso Huemul—offering direct panoramas of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Terrain varies from forested valley floors and river crossings to exposed glacial moraines and high-altitude scree slopes. The circuit is defined by its remoteness and the requirement for technical river crossing skills using fixed steel cables.
