Trekking
Chile is a dream for those who like to enjoy nature on foot as visitors can explore trails in every part of the country. You won’t regret packing thick socks and sturdy boots as you discover lush valleys, desert canyons, glacial lakes and volcanic peaks. The world famous hiking destination of Torres del Paine national park in Southern Patagonia is often where people gravitate, but try autumn instead of summer - there’s colourful foliage but fewer crowds. For something more remote you can try Tierra del Fuego, which offers more challenging 4 and 5-day circuits. Central Chile, with is milder climate, rich flora and fauna and peaks shouldn’t be overlooked as a trekking destination as it offers something for everyone with a range of landscapes and trail lengths. The Lakes District in the south offers ‘Region de Los Lagos’, an area well equipped for visitors wanting to explore the area by foot, but avoid the rains and flies of midsummer.
