Piuquenes Pass (Andes Crossing)

Following the historic path used by the Army of the Andes in 1817, this 6-day trans-Andean expedition traverses the central cordillera from Mendoza, Argentina, to the Cajón del Maipo in Chile. The route crosses two significant high-altitude barriers—Portillo Argentino (4,330m) and Paso Piuquenes (4,030m). Hikers move through a high desert landscape of volcanic rock, vast glacial valleys, and the powerful Tunuyán River. The terrain consists primarily of rocky mountain paths, loose scree on the steeper pass approaches, and high-altitude plateaus where exposure to wind and sun is constant.

Scoresby Sund (Kangertittivaq) is not a single trail, but the world's largest fjord system—a sprawling 350km-deep maze of ice and rock in East Greenland. Exploration here is ship-based, where expedition vessels serve as mobile base camps. Each day, Zodiacs ferry you to remote shorelines like the red sandstone slopes of Røde Ø or the high ridges of Milne Land. Unlike West Greenland, there are no marked paths; you'll be walking over ancient, spongey tundra and sharp basalt scree, always accompanied by guides with polar bear deterrents. It is an experience of immense scale, where skyscraper-sized icebergs ground themselves in the deep fjords while muskoxen forage in the silent valleys.
