This 9-day Women’s Patagonia Hiking, Kayaking and Glamping Multisport adventure will wake up every cell in your body and uncage the part of your soul that’s been quietly screaming in Zoom meetings. Torres del Paine National Park spreads across nearly 500,000 acres and is a hiker’s paradise. You will hike 40 miles of trails surrounded by soaring granite peaks, glacial lakes, and pristine rivers over the course of your adventure, including two sections of the famed W Trek: The Towers Base and French Valley along with hikes not often frequented by tourists. You will kayak amongst bergy bits in Grey Lake and paddle your way down the Grey River to the confluence of the Serrano, surrounded by epic views of Cuernos del Paine along the way. And Glaciers! TNP has loads of them – from the magical hanging glaciers of French Valley, to the face of the Grey Glacier, the largest glacier in the Southern Patagonia Ice Field. Estancias (ranches) are an integral part of Patagonian Gaucho culture. You’ll ride on a Criollo horse, a Patagonian breed adapted to the terrain across wide-open pampas, sleep for 2 nights in a cozy traditional Estancia, enjoy a traditional Patagonian BBQ (asado), and hike along beautiful trails to overlooks and vistas not seen from the National Park. Patagonia is home to the largest puma population in the Americas. We’ll carefully and respectfully drive to these cats’ favorite hot spots and pause for all the photo ops. Other animal encounters on this adventure: the Colocolo cat, Geoffroy’s cat, condors, grey foxes, kestrel, tucúquere, flamingos, wetland fowl, wild horses, grazing cattle and even a sheep shearing demonstration with a working dog! Sleep in a living postcard. Our spectacular Riverside Glampsite is deliciously removed from crowded tourist spots with unspoiled views of the Serrano River and iconic Paine Massif. Each Lotus Belle deluxe tent makes you feel like nomadic royalty – complete with an elevated wood platform, comfy bed with down covers, and a mountain-facing dining lodge. Enjoy buffet breakfasts, crazy-tasty packed lunches and nourishing dinners made by private chefs who know their way around a Pisco sour. Worried about next-day boobsweat? Showers and bath houses are a short walk away. This is a challenging, rigorous adventure that your heart is clambering to experience, but your brain might be a little “WTF.” Remember that easy doesn’t change you. Your body can do incredible things. With your supportive group of Explorer Chicks and our professional guides, we’ll do all the hard things together. It won’t be effortless. There may be some tears. But our Patagonia experience will be with you for the rest of your life. Photos Itinerary Expand All Days Day 1 - Welcome to Patagonia After you land, you’ll be driven into our loving arms via private transfer. Your only job today is to arrive at our rendezvous hotel in the small fjord-side town of Puerto Natales and prepare for our delicious Welcome Dinner. Accommodation: Hotel, Puerto Natales Meals: D Day 2 - Hiking in Torres Del Paine National Park After a delicious breakfast, we’ll board the trusty SHE-nanigan Shuttle through Chilean Pampas grasslands to our rugged home for the next five days. Torres del Paine National Park is a crown jewel of public land – bursting with mountains, glaciers, pristine lakes and winding rivers. Paine (pronounced “PIE-neh”) is the native Tehuelche word for blue and Torres is the Spanish word for towers. So yeah, you aren’t going to need your fancy Insta filters. Our first stop will be one of the most beautiful Estancias in the area. These large, private plots of land used for farming or raising livestock are a huge part of Patagonian culture, and we will be exploring several on your adventure! Today’s Estancia is a massive working cattle ranch that dates back to the early 20th century. These bovines get to live their best lives roaming and munching amidst amazing views of Paine Massif and Laguna Verde. Following our tour, we’ll hike through wildflowers and peer up at soaring condors as we take in panoramic views of Torres del Paine. The highest point of the trail connects to a rarely-trekked path from the Estancia to the Weber Bridge in the heart of the park. Afterwards, we’ll march our buzzing bodies to our Glamping home for the next four nights, complete with a feastly meal inside our cozy dining lodge. Transfer Time from Puerto Natales to Estancia: 90 mins Transfer Time from Estancia to Camp: 90 mins Hiking: 8.8 miles, 970’ gain, 5 hours Accommodation: Riverside Glamping Meals: B-L-D Day 3 - Grey Lake and River Kayaking After a plentiful breakfast, we’ll board our Shuttle for a quick 30 minute transfer to meet our professional kayaking guides on the shores of Grey Lake. We’ll get the low-down on paddling 101 before slipping into the lake and two rivers. Our views of the magnificent Paine Massif will be so pristine, you’ll wonder if they’re Photoshopped. Speak the names of some of the most glorious peaks –Paine Grande, the Cordillera Olguin, and Los Cuernos. Awaken new strength in your arms as you paddle through floes of ice that have descended from Glacier Grey, the namesake of these waters. These icebergs are scattered throughout the lake and have been sculpted into incredible shapes by the wind and sun, before being pushed to the shores of the lake. After, we’ll descend into Grey River, which snakes through deep canyons with steep rock faces and rapids. Fear not, this is still a beginner-friendly paddle! We will continue on past the Paine Massif along the Grey River until it joins with the turquoise water of the Serrano. After a day of paddling, we’ll arrive back at our Glampsite ready to rest our muscles, gorge our bellies and laugh like hyenas. Transfer Time: 30 Minutes Kayaking: 8-10 miles. 6 hours Accommodation: Riverside Glamping Meals: B-L-D Day 4 - Hiking in the French Valley It’s legs day, Explorer Chick! We’ll depart our camp at 9AM for a round-trip hike in the French Valley. Our loyal SHE-nanigan Shuttle will be waiting to escort us on a 45 minute transfer over a gravel road all the way to Pudeto Pier at Lake Pehoé. Here we’ll take a 35 minute catamaran to the Paine Grande area. Our spectacular destination, the French Valley, is a natural basin surrounded by peaks and hanging glaciers. We’ll be greeted by a glacial moraine at the entrance and scramble over huge boulders to catch the first sight of the hanging glacier atop the valley. NBD, just being awesome over here. We’ll ascend for an hour through a dreamlike Japanese garden landscape before arriving at the French Valley viewpoint aka the “Plateau”. Our reward is a heart-stirring condor’s view of MORE granite peaks and hanging glaciers. To one side, the French Glacier and Paine Grande (10,056′). To the other, La Espada, La Hoja, La Máscara and the main and north “horns” of Los Cuernos arching into the sky. There are so many summits to spy here, it feels like attendance day in homeroom. Cerro Catedral? Here! Cerro Fortaleza? Here! These peaks loom like turrets above the landscape, and you’ll start to wonder if all the GOOD tectonic plates decided to migrate here. We’ll scarf our chef-prepared organic box lunches at the viewpoint, surrounded by imposing peaks and open sky. Depending on the weather conditions and group vibe, we can continue to the Britanico Lookout which offers impressive 360 degree views. We return the same way we came to enjoy a well-deserved dinner at camp. Transfer Time to Pudeto Pier: 45 minutes Catamaran to Paine Grande: 35 minutes Hiking: 10 miles. 1,900’ gain. 8-9 hours Accommodation: Riverside Glamping Meals: B-L-D Day 5 - Condors and Guanacos and Pumas Where are our Planet Earth nerds at?! Early in the morning after a hearty breakfast, we’ll hop on our Shuttle for an hour’s drive to meet with a local puma tracking guide. (It’s impossible to say that casually.) Our destination will depend on where the pumas were last spotted, but generally they are found near a nature trail along the border of Lago Sarmiento and Juncos Lagoon, about 45 minutes from the Riverside Glampsite. Board the van and get your cameras ready! We’ll alternate between driving and hiking on an easy/moderate trail where guanacos (cute puma food) are found. If we spot a puma (or a family!) we will spend just enough time to take photos without disrupting their routine. We’ll continue to track these spectacular felines while hiking sectors of the park, making our way to Laguna Azul to creep on waterfowl preening and fishing in the wetlands. We will be treated by exceptional views of Torres del Paine in the distance and the ever-changing Patagonia sky. After a dishy picnic lunch, we’ll make our way back to the Serrano sector to our camp. Dinner in the lodge is served before our last night’s rest in our Lotus Belle tents. Guided Puma Tracking By Van: 4-5 Hours Hiking Distance: 4-5 miles. 300’ gain. 3 hours Accommodation: Riverside Glamping Meals: B-L-D Day 6 - Hike to the Base of Las Torres Wave goodbye to camp! An early morning transfer to the Las Torres sector of the park is where we’ll begin our trek to the iconic Base of Las Torres. Our initial climb follows the Ascencio River into the Ascencio Valley. After about an hour, we’ll stop to observe how the valley’s beauty unfolds with rich beech forests, glaciers and waterfalls. Past this lookout point, we continue uphill and through lush beech forests before ascending a gigantic terminal moraine, which is the ridge formed at a glacier’s end point. Here is where we witness the money shot of the three Towers themselves. We’ll pause at this lookout point 2950’ above sea level, have a rest, take photos and snack like we’ve never snacked before. Our descent is along the same path, taking us back to our Shuttle which will take us onto our next two overnights. Transfer Time to Las Torres: 2 hrs Transfer Time to Cerro Guido: 45 mins Hiking: 13 miles. 3,330’ gain. 8-9 hours Accommodation: Estancia Lodging Meals: B-L-D Day 7 - Horseback Riding and Gaucho Culture Our gorgeous Estancia stay is actively protecting one of the most biodiverse regions in Patagonia. It is home to puma, the Colocolo cat, Geoffroy’s cat, birds of prey, and a host of other creatures, including armadillos, guanacos, caiquenes, skunks and woodpeckers. We’ll learn more about the Estancia culture through a guided tour as well as the work of the Gauchos as we saddle up for our day’s adventure. We will ride on Criollo horses, a Patagonian breed that is highly adapted to the terrain – AND HIGHLY CUTE. These Criollo are lucky enough to roam wide-open pampas, green southern beech forests and the rugged coastline with a gaucho and our guide. No previous horseback riding experience is needed, but this won’t be a slow pony ride! We will be riding guacha-style past native flora, fauna and an archaeological site. After we give our Criollo a loving snout rub goodbye, we’ll settle in for a sheep shearing demonstration (compete with working dogs!) and enjoy a delicious traditional Patagonian barbeque aka asado at the Estancia. Life is good, mi Amiga. Estancia Tour: 4-5 hours Horseback Riding: 2-3 hours Accommodation: Estancia Lodging Meals: B-L-D Day 8 - Walk the Baguales River Our last day is all about scenic drives, slow ambling and soaking in the memories of your adventure. After chowing down breakfast, we’ll hop aboard the SHE-nanigan Shuttle to Baguales River. This drive is stunning – zooming past the coastline of Puerto Natales and along several ranches. When the road turns rural, keep an eye out for ñandus (Darwin’s Rhea), flamingos, skunks, foxes, a variety of birds and many iconic sheep as they graze the endless Patagonia landscapes. We’ll go until the road runs out, ending at Las Cumbres, a very rustic Patagonian Estancia. We’ll begin a very pleasant trek along the eastern bank of the Baguales River following guanaco tracks through the rolling hills. Our gentle walk leads us to an amazing landscape made up of green valleys surrounded by mountain peaks that were built by lava flows. Just when you think your eyeballs can’t take anymore, we’ll come across a secret lagoon called Rodas, which is hidden by red rock cliffs. Here we’ll rest and peer down at wild trout as they swim through the algae. We’ll return along the same trail to meet our Shuttle at the outpost, which will take us back to Puerto Natales for the evening. Prepare for an epic, boisterous, super emo farewell dinner. Transfer Time to Baguales: 1 hour Transfer Time from Baguales to Puerto Natales: 1.5 hours Hiking: 5 miles. Minimal gains. 4-5 hours Accommodation: Hotel, Puerto Natales Meals: B-L-D Day 9 - Goodbyes and Ugly Cries Enjoy one last breakfast together before parting ways.

Dressed to impress in wide-brimmed sombreros, ponchos, baggy bombachas, and kickass boots, they carried a facon knife like a boss. 💪 Independent and resilient, China Gauchas had their own vibrant culture of music, dance, and storytelling.

Trip Insurance In Her Words Suzanne M. ★★★★★ I went of the Red River Gorge backpacking trip with Amy Anslinger as our guide. I can’t say enough good things about it!

They showed us with so many fun surprises along the way and created a space for us to be ourselves, together. I will definitely be booking another trip!Sarah C. ★★★★★ I was fortunate to be on EC's inaugural Norway trip - all I can say is GO! The trip was beyond my expectations- from our awesome EC Guide Christina and local Guide Christine to the 6 strong and supportive women I spent 7 days with exploring the stunning and other-worldly beauty of Norway! The accommodations were so cool - lodges and fishing cabins filled with character and very comfy! Hikes were challenging and provided TONS of photo opps - and our Guides took great care of us along the way! Food? Delicious and they accommodate dietary needs super well - and if you are a fish lover, you will be in pescatarian paradise! This was my first group trip - I was nervous about traveling with people I hadn't met and being able to do the hikes, but those butterflies were quickly calmed when I met Christina, Christine and my fellow Explorer Chicks!

It was such an awesome experience! It was honestly one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done. Those packs weren’t just huge - they were heavy! And the trail was quite aptly named the Rough Trail, haha. Steep inclines and fallen trees were just par for the course along our route. The wonderful guides left me feeling confident and excited about continuing my outdoor adventures. This place was beautiful, and I hope to visit it again someday.

Everything was jam packed-n-top notch adventure fun. Starting off with an exhilarating hike to a few glacial lakes, to ice climbing and sea kayaking. All the event guides we encountered were superb as well. We hiked some more, saw the copper mines and many different cities, a little history, a little dart throwing and dinner. Went to the fish hatchery, saw some sea lions and learned how the salmon is bred to be the best in Alaska. The guide prepared food was excellent every detail was well thought and appreciated and I felt safe the entire trip. Would definitely go on another EC adventure again! LisaLaura J. ★★★★★ What an amazing trip to Alaska. If you have been wanting to go to Alaska, go with them.

She herself, backpacked with 55lbs, 😳😳😳 She made us incredible meals (and wouldn’t even allow us to help her clean up), she empowered us to push ourselves and over all, she is an incredible person at such a young age. She made our trip memorable and we can’t wait to search for another trip, and hopefully have her as a guide !!!!Ida B. ★★★★★ I went to the San Juan Islands with Ashley, Nicole, and Moll as our guide. We kayaked to the northwestern-most point in the continental united states. There was bioluminescence and seals and starfish.
