This is an epic overland adventure for those who love the outdoors, with plenty of camping in the National Parks of outstanding natural beauty. Beginning in the elegant capital of Chile, Santiago, you’ll travel through the country’s scenic Lake District before crossing the Argentine border to stay in beautiful Bariloche.

Comments

Please note: On this trip at any time of the year you could encounter some very cold weather, even in full summer, especially at night.

Due to the nature of this trip and the area through which you will be travelling, there is a lot of both camping and wild camping involved. You will be travelling to the southern most point of South America and nights can be bitterly cold. To experience the most of what Patagonia has got to offer Dragoman, thanks to their overland vehicles, take you off the beaten track so that you can wild camp in some of the most stunning scenery you will ever encounter but remember it can get very cold and you will need to prepare accordingly. This is a tough trip and should not be taken lightly and we suggest you take some extra clothing and a good quality four season sleeping bag with a comfort zone of at least -1°C
