The amount of outdoor adventure available on this continent could keep a traveler busy for months on end and still leave you begging for more in the cultural and historical adventure.
One of the most picturesque hikes in Patagonia, Argentina. It is not considered a very difficult hike, but the last stretch is very steep and the temperature drops significantly.
With trails suited for families with kids as well as hard-core hikers and climbers, this park offers opportunities for everybody who enjoys the outdoors.
If there is one thing I am happy I tried, despite being terrified at the time, that is rafting on the Rio Juramento, in the Salta region of Northwest Argentina.
It’s a challenging journey where hikers face thin air due to high elevation, steep ascents and descents on stone steps, and a narrow path that hugs the edge of a mountain on one side.
It features birds, wildlife, glaciers, high alpine lakes, and the infamous rainbow mountains. It is one of the most challenging in the region with three high passes over 5,000 meters.
