We’re in the process of securing our final bookings for this unreal experience in Patagonia Argentina Feb 28-March 7. Along the way you'll get a chance to experience the varied landscapes of Patagonia, from the steppe to the high mountains. We'll run to lakes under the Fitz Roy skyline, tour the impressive Perito Moreno glacier, run to a remote hut, stay in 3 and 4-star hotels, and enjoy the unique culture and cuisine of this special zone of South America along the way. If this one has been on your list, don’t wait too much longer to sign up!
On Day 5 of our Patagonia Runcation we enjoy a delicious Argentinian breakfast at our comfortable 3-star hotel in El Chaltén and catch transport deeper into the Patagonia wilderness. After being dropped off, our bags continue on their journey to our destination and we set off running on the trail for a remote refugio, running through lenga forests and views of Fitz Roy not seen on the normal Patagonia trekking routes from town. After enjoying the smooth and runnable trails so far in the trip, we step up our trail running game today with some technical trail running on beautiful forest trails.
After emerging from the forest, we cross a final footbridge, run up a final moraine, and enjoy views of a remote glacier-fed lake and our home for the evening. We enjoy welcome tea and crepes, a warm shower, and cozy sleeping accommodations. Some of our brave guests can take a dip in the freezing lake, and others enjoy Malbec by the fire with views of the surrounding wilderness. It's truly a unique chance to disconnect from wifi and enjoy our beautiful surroundings and great company on one of the final evenings of our tour.
“The tldr: Do it! This was an amazingly well planned trip (thoughtful planning, clearly),, the runs and views were unforgettable, and I’m already looking at the next one I can go on. The longer version: Runcation in Patagonia was amazing. Every thing was well-planned, the views were unforgettable, the crew was the best you could ask for, we stayed at nice spots with great staff...I could go on and on. Also, as someone who is super type-A, I really appreciate all of the early communication of expectations, what to pack, itineraries, and super quick responses from Liz.”

“The New Year’s Patagonia Runcation: Trail Running El Chalten was an incredible trip. Liz, the guide, was conscientious, organized, and knew exactly what we were doing and where we were going at all times. I had an amazing trip, got to get some incredible runs and views, and met some fantastic people in the process. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to run off the beaten path, meet new people, and experience Patagonia like no one else typically does. Liz, thank you for your ongoing excellence, and I look forward to another trip in the future!”
