Patagonia & "The End of the World" - Steppes Travel Announces New Escorted Tour to Patagonia

Cirencester, United Kingdom, January 06, 2007 --(PR.com)-- This tour represents an in-depth exploration into Patagonia by foot and by road. Patagonia was always described by early explorers as a barren land without fresh water, without trees, only brackish ponds and dwarf plants. However, hidden in the heart of this inhospitable region is arguably the most beautiful and spectacular landscape in the world. We conquer this inaccessible area and experience the landscape by using isolated local lodges and walking in the beautiful National Parks of Fitzroy, Torres del Paine, Tierra del Fuego and the lakes area of Posadas and Pueyrredon. The trip ends with the fantastic sights and sounds of the "Paris of Latin America" - Buenos Aires. From Atlantic to Pacific Ocean, from desert to dense beech forest and from ice shelves and glaciers to towering granite pinnacles, Patagonia offers any visitor the most unforgettable adventure in the "world's end" (Moderate fitness required).
