Large-scale rewilding with brand new trails and facilities have transformed Patagonia Park Argentina into South America’s ultimate outdoor destination for 2023 and beyond. The park has been restored by private charitable organisation, Freyja Foundation, and its partner and grantee, Rewilding Argentina, in a bid to ignite greater connection with nature and passion for the outdoors.
The park stretches across 180,000 hectares from Portal Cañadón Pinturas in Argentina to La Ascensión Portal on the border of Chile and, thanks to the rewilding efforts, is once again home to Patagonia’s top predator, the puma, and the region’s largest herbivore, the guanaco. Through world-class trails, hiking, camping, excursions and breath-taking scenic routes, travellers will encounter endangered species that are being re-established after years of displacement from ranching.
Hiking
Adventure-seeking holidaymakers can tackle up to ten new state-of-the-art trails in Portal Cañadon Pinturas. The shortest is 2.6km and can be completed within one hour, while the longest is an 18km circuit and takes six hours to complete for experienced hikers. The park is open all year round, but the recommended time to visit is between November and March, during the summer and spring seasons, where temperatures range from 10C to 30C during the day.
