Cerro Castillo National Park Trek
Discover one of Patagonia's hidden trekking gems on the spectacular Horquetas Trek. Traverse a pristine wilderness of lush forests, river valleys, and high alpine meadows. With nights spent in remote campsites far from the crowds, you'll experience the raw beauty of the Andes, with the mighty spires of Cerro Castillo as your constant backdrop.
