EXPEDITION Trekking, skiing, mountaineering, Grade 6+ This adventure is essentially the same as our 22-day Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego program but finishes with a 10-day exploratory expedition into the vast Rio Turbio wilderness area south of the Lago Puelo National Park. After two extremely pleasant days in Bariloche eating chocolate and smoked trout, we travel souththrough the mountains of the beautiful Lake District to Lago Puelo and after crossing the lake by launch we arrive at Gaucho (Arentiniain cowboy) community. The families living on this small flat, surrounded by rugged mountains and forests are very hospitable and are strongly influenced by the original traditions of their ancestors. After a night in the loft of a barn on a lake, we travel by ox-drawn cart to 5km to a wide river crossing. From the other side we trek for the next 10 days crossing a remote pass closee to the Chilean border, around lakes, through majestic alerce forests, exploring glaciers at the heads of valleys, before returning via a different route. Come and experience what being an explorer is like. ITINERARY: Day 1 Sydney
