Trekking in Chile

Chile Trekking Tours, extending from Atacama Desert with salt pans, flamingos and phantasmagoric volcanoes to the fjord, peaks and glaciers of Patagonia and on the far side to the wild seas and stunning islands at the tail end of South America, is an ideal place for vacationing.

And being a trekking enthusiast, life simply becomes easy here. There are many mountainous and volcanic trails, untrodden forests, parks waiting for the trekkers. So lets put the trekking gears and embark on the journey of Chile Trekking Tours .

Chile, a land of juxtaposed natural trails comprising of deserts, mountains, Mediterranean landscapes, attractive islands, plains, ice fields, fjords, lakes, and glaciers, is an exemplar of unspoiled nature, services and security.

You can trek these wilderness areas portraying bounty of nature and relish those blissful moments which are tough to find elsewhere. However, Punta Arenas is the right place to venture on trekking expedition in Chile.

While trekking, it is very rare to meet anybody apart from the few mountain farmers and herders who welcome a chat and are particularly trustworthy because they live in the mountains all year round.

Even female trekkers touring on their own should not have to worry about their safety. Hunters, especially those who prefer night outings for rabbits or hares, should be advised of your presence with a shout.

There are hardly any aggressive or even dangerous animals in Chile. In all these years and on a countless number of hikes we have never been lucky enough to see a puma even from afar, much less exposed to a dangerous encounter with the wildcat.

There are no poisonous snakes, but there are a few small animals that are more likely to require some precautions. Two types of spiders can mean trouble and even real danger, but they tend to live in shelters (the fleshy brown “araña de rincon” that favors corners) or low, grassy fields (the red-and-black widow spider).

The Hanta virus, passed on by field mice found almost all over America, can be fatal if an infection is not diagnosed and treated in time. (Symptoms begin like a bad cold some days after exposure.) Hanging your food from trees can minimize exposure to the virus by safeguarding it from rodents.

While you are planning to go for trekking do not forget to keep some important points in mind. These are;

• First-aid kit
• Adequate sunscreen and appropriate clothing (hat and a long-sleeved top) to protect against sun.
• Inform family or friends and the park-rangers of intended route.
• If you get lost make yourself visible and noticed with bright clothes, make noise, and use a whistle.
• Avoid dumping garbage on your trails

However with these points in mind you should also carry some essential trekking gears . These include;

• Map
• Magnetic compass
• Water
• Food
• Matches
• Torch
