Argentina and Chile: Trekking in Patagonia

Fewer and fewer travelers are taking scheduled group departures—the baby boomers and twentysomethings want individualized trips. So Geographic Expeditions are taking private trips into places like Patagonia, where there are incredible national parks in the making in Argentina and Chile. Your options are based on group interest and physical ability and can include exploring Torres del Paine National Park and the Fitz Roy massif, trekking up peaks that have rarely been climbed, or fly-fishing for Patagonia's behemoth 13-pound (6-kilogram) trout. GeoEx will eventually develop fixed itineraries to some of these locales; going now means that you can choose your own path through the untrammeled wilderness.
