Epic Explorers:

Pedro Serrano

Expedition March 2025

“For me, this trip was a dream come true.
The Fitz Roy trek was the trail I enjoyed the most. It was more alpine, with the river and the autumn colors, which I love. I also found it very adventurous, with the wind and the clouds—it felt like a challenge.
If I could choose one word to define traveling with Epic Patagonia Trips, it would be AUTHENTIC. Meeting the local people, feeling comfortable and close. There’s nothing artificial about this trip. You feel at home, and that makes you want to explore and experience Patagonian life even more.”

Sarai Bes

Expedition March 2025

“This trip has literally been like experiencing the end of the world. I’ve seen things I’ve never seen before and felt things I’ve never felt before.
The landscapes, the fauna, and the flora are truly breathtaking. Seeing pumas! It was one of my dreams, and it came true with the Torres del Paine in the background—it was the highlight of the trip. The penguins too—they’re beautiful!
Traveling with Epic was wonderful! The atmosphere, the camaraderie, being together. For me, it was perfect.”

Santiago – Welcome to Chile

Arrive in the modern and vibrant capital of Santiago de Chile, where the Andes meet the Pacific.

Our team will be waiting at the airport to transfer you to your hotel.

In the afternoon, meet your fellow adventurers for a welcome group dinner. Raise a glass of pisco sour –Chile’s signature cocktail- or a smooth Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley, and indulge into flavors that blend the bounty of the Pacific Ocean with the traditions of the Andes.

Hike Patagonia Epic Patagonia trips

Difficulty

This trip is rated Moderate - Challenging. The expedition includes:
  • Two short hikes: 1–3 hours hikes through Torres del Paine most epic viewpoints.
  • Two long hikes: 7–9 hours each, 20–23 km, +1,000 m elevation gain.
While these are non-technical hikes, a good level of fitness is required. Along the way, we’ll take breaks to rest, enjoy snacks, and soak in the breathtaking views of Patagonia—this is not a race, and the reward is in the journey. Trails can be rugged and exposed, and the weather in Patagonia is famously unpredictable—you may experience all four seasons in a single day. During hikes, you’ll only need to carry a small daypack with your packed lunch, water, and extra layers.
