Dientes de Navarino Circuit

Often described as one of the southernmost established multi-day trekking circuits in the world. The Dientes de Navarino is a legendary 40-50km loop on Navarino Island, south of the Beagle Channel. This is 'extreme Patagonia'—a place where the wind is a constant companion and trails are often replaced by GPS coordinates and intuition. The circuit winds through the jagged Dientes range, crossing several steep passes like Paso Virginia and Paso Australia. Trekkers experience a primeval landscape of stunted beech forests, peat bogs, and wind-scoured granite spires. It is a trek for the self-sufficient, offering a raw intensity and isolation that has vanished from more famous Patagonian routes.

The Illampu Circuit is a demanding 6-to-7-day trek that circumnavigates the northern giants of the Cordillera Real: Illampu (6,368m) and Ancohuma (6,427m). Often described as one of Bolivia's most vertically significant non-technical routes, the loop starts and ends in the sub-tropical town of Sorata (2,700m). Much of the circuit sits above 4,000m once the Sorata valley is left behind, crossing multiple high passes including the Abra de la Calzada (~5,045m). The route crosses high-altitude pampas inhabited by Aymara herders and traverses rugged moraine fields directly beneath active glaciers.
