Patagonia Trekking & Service

[dropcap style=’box’]P[/dropcap]atagonia is truly one of the world’s last wild places. Its name alone conjures up images of towering craggy peaks, pristine blue lakes, and windswept ice fields. Yet this rugged land at the tip of South America is actually quite accessible for the modern adventurer.

Summit Adventure is inviting you to join us in wild Patagonia for a trip filled with adventure and opportunities to serve. Over the course of 10 days you’ll trek on and off the local trails through some of the most stunning scenery on the planet. You’ll observe alpine spires at eye level with soaring condors and attempt to summit Tronador, a glaciated volcano.

Before and after the trekking circuit you will have the opportunity to serve with an organization that reaches out to the many travelers who pass through the area and offers hospitality-based service. Sample the local drink of choice known as yerba maté while processing your experiences during guided times of reflection. The experience concludes with a celebratory meal of Argentina’s famous asado.
