Court the mythical landscapes of the Fitz Roy Range
The Andes, running along South America's western side, is among the world's longest mountain ranges. Its varied terrain encompasses glaciers, volcanoes, grassland, desert, lakes and forest. The mountains shelter pre-Columbian archaeological sites and wildlife including chinchillas and condors. From Venezuela in the north, the range passes through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.

Court the mythical landscapes of the Fitz Roy Range
ARGENTINA // With its rugged wilderness and shark-toothed summits, the Fitz Roy Range is the de facto trekking capital of Argentina. While world-class climbers take on the toothy summits of Cero Fitz Roy and Cero Torre, mere mortals content themselves trekking through moss-clad lenga forest and visiting alpine tarns. The northern sector of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares resembles Chile's Torres del Paine - it's close as the condor flies - but with exceptional access to village life, with steakhouses, microbrews and warm beds in the frontier town of El Chaltén awaiting hikers. Yet it never stops being Patagonia, so even a summer's day under bluebird skies could bring bone-chilling winds. But nobody would say it's not worth it.
