BANDURRIAS ISLAND ESCAPE - NORTHERN PATAGONIAN ANDES
Discover the secret hidden trails of the pristine wilderness around the Northern Andes of Chile.
This pocket of the Andes has stayed completely uncommercial and there are just a handful of dedicated local specilist travel companies offering exceptional trips through the rivers, lakes, forests and pastures ending at a secret island hideaway.
Here the majestic Andes are at their lowest point and the frontier between Chile and Argentina can be traversed as they did in the pioneering days. This is very much a slow travel experience on horseback or on foot.
You'll sleep in a variety of beds from luxury wilderness lodge, family homestay, tent and lakeside island cabin.
The journey is one of real immersion into local Chilean life and wildlife with exceptional local guides that are passionate about their region and culture. All aspects of the trip are covered to make guests as comfortable, warm and well fed as possible. The best organic local ingrediants will help you on your way and there is time to stop and fish to catch lunch and be warmed by a lamb asado to watch the stars of the southern hemisphere appear without any inturruption from the outside world.
