Introduction

The Andes Range is the backbone of South America. Huge, mythical and impressive. But in Patagonia, the action of the glaciers during the last Ice Age created fantastic landscapes. Deep blue lakes, giant granite  towers and u-shaped valleys with winding rivers colonized by beautiful nothofagus forests. Pure natural energy. This itinerary begins in Bariloche, the head of the lakes districts and home of the most pleasant scenarios in Patagonia. Llao Llao peninsula, Nahuel Huapi National Park and the big lake the same name. Going south, the bus follows a route in the Patagonian steppe, parallel to the Andes, to reach El Chalten, Argentinean trekking paradise. There you can do self guides hikes, like the Laguna de los Tres or to Laguna Torre. Three hours southern from El Chalten, you can find El Calafate, the most importan city close to the Glacier National Park. From there you will be able to visit Perito Moreno Glacier, imposing, moving, unforgettable. And you will be able to visit Torres del Paine, a true natural wonder, just crossing the border to Chile. And finally, like all the adventure is not enough, some days in Ushuaia, the city in the end of the world.
