Dhaulagiri Circuit

The significant high-altitude test. The Dhaulagiri Circuit is widely considered one of the most challenging trekking routes in the world. This expedition-style journey circumvents the massive Dhaulagiri I (8,167m), taking trekkers through incredibly diverse terrain—from terraced farmland and dense forests to the high, wind-blasted glaciers of the Chonbarden. The trek involves crossing two high mountain passes: French Pass (5,360m) and Dhampus Pass (5,240m), and spending several nights camping on ice in the 'Hidden Valley'. This is a trek for the elite, requiring extreme physical fitness and prior high-altitude experience.

Guided glacier trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier is a specialized activity within Los Glaciares National Park. The glacier, covering approximately 250 square kilometers, is one of the few advancing ice masses in the Patagonian Andes. Access to the ice surface is strictly regulated and conducted via two primary excursion formats: the 'Minitrekking' (introductory) and the 'Big Ice' (extended exploration). Participants navigate a dynamic landscape of crevasses, moulins, and ice ridges using technical equipment under professional supervision. The experience provides a direct perspective on glacial movement and the hydrological processes of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
