Huemul Circuit

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.

The tropical frontier. Xishuangbanna, located in the southernmost tip of Yunnan province bordering Laos and Myanmar, is the only place in China where you can find a true tropical rainforest. This region is the ancestral home of the Dai people and home to China's last wild Asian elephants. Hiking here involves trekking through dense canopy, crossing muddy rivers, and visiting remote tea-growing villages. It is a world away from the high-altitude glaciers of the north, offering a lush, humid, and biodiversity-rich adventure.
