Cabo Froward - The Southernmost Tip of the Continent - 5 nights, 6 days
600 USD 1-5 trekkers / 520 USD 5-10 trekkers

    This is a true adventure in every sense of the word. To reach the southern most tip of the South American continent, a five-day expedition-style trek is the only way to go...literally! We hike along the Strait of Magellan, the channel that was scene to countless shipwrecks, and holds some of the richest history in Patagonia. This journey is only for those ready to get completely away from the masses and willing to put themselves in a place where the word ‘self-reliance’ is not taken lightly. Be prepared for an agonizing rough trail, relentless wind and two neck-high, strip-down, pack-over-the-head river crossings!
Our trek begins where the dirt road ends, and continues along the isolated beaches, coves and bays. The trek offers a variety of hiking terrain aside from many quiet beaches. We’ll pass dense forests, cross open “turba” (a cross between tundra and moss) and wade through river crossings. Our daily travel must be carefully timed to coincide with the low tides, in order to make crossing as safe as possible. Our ultimategoal is a five-story white cross that marks the tip of the South American land mass.
This trek is a self-sufficient tour, which means that each person is responsible for carrying his or her share of food and equipment. We camp each night along rivers, deserted whaling stations, abandoned ranch houses and in Patagonian forests. Roughing it is the name of the game, and this is what makes this trek a truly unique experience. There’s bird and sea life abound, and weather permitting, wonderful views of Dawson Island, the Darwin Range and the twin peaks of Mt. Saremiento. This trek isn’t for everyone, but it is guaranteed to be a memorable one.
