Chile 18 Tage Patagonia Overland: Ushuaia to Puerto Varas Erlebnisrundreise Adventure-Trip in internationaler Gruppe

Eighteen days. Two countries. One of the most spectacular stretches of road on earth. The Lando rolls north from Ushuaia through the raw heart of Patagonia – glaciers that groan and crack, trails that lead somewhere worth going, and nights so quiet you’ll hear yourself think. This isn’t a tour with Patagonia on the itinerary. This is Patagonia, full stop.

• Begin in Ushuaia – the end of the road and the wildest possible starting point

• Stand beneath the granite towers of Torres del Paine on a hike worth every step

• Watch walls of ice break free from Perito Moreno Glacier and crash into blue water

• Drive north along the Carretera Austral through some of the most remote terrain on the continent

• Sleep under southern skies and let Patagonia’s quiet do its thing

• Arrive into the volcanic lakes and lush green forests of the Lake District“
