150 kilometers from Valparaiso and Santiago, into the wild Andes range, in “Los Patos” Spot where this spectacular expedition across the Andes begins. In an extraordinary journey right out of the history books, we follow the footsteps of the Army of Liberation that freed Chile from the Spanish crown in 1817. During this fantastic nine-day expedition over the roof of America, we glimpse the life-styles of “huasos” (Chilean cowboys) and “gauchos” (argentinean cowboys). We travel in the shadow of glacier-capped Andean peaks -such as Mercedario mountain (6.770 mts.) and Aconcagua (7.050 mts.), the Western Hemisphere’s highest mountain - fording rivers that rush through the arid lower ranges after tumbling off rocky summits frozen in eternal snows. In the midst of wind and cold to temper our spirits, we are amazed by the variety of native wildlife to these heights, such as guanacos, vizcachas and condors keeping watch on their lofty domains.
