A versatile route
TOWERS OF THE CHICO RIVER
Designed to experience a vertical landscape without requiring previous experience in multi-day trekking. This trek is characterized by its versatile personality, adaptable to the levels of each client without losing the essence of the tour. The days can vary between 4 and 6 hours of walking, with the Base Camp modality (sleeping the 2 nights in the same place) having the possibility of doing a full day of trekking comfortably without carrying a backpack or extra weight.
A proposal to spend quality time in the mountains and get to know exceptional places in the Fueguian Cordillera.
