January is peak season for Patagonia.

I wish I was on any of these adventures right now — rather than being stuck in Canada. 

• O Circuit, Torres del Paine 
• Fitz Roy, El Chaltén
• Cerro Torre, El Chaltén
• Huemul Route, El Chaltén
• Villa O’Higgins, Chile, to El Chaltén, Argentina
• Cerro Castillo, Chile
• Tronador, Bariloche

That list is from Backpacker magazine. (Outdoor+ subscription required.)

El Calafate / El Chaltén Argentina is one of our top 10 hiking towns in the world.

Of that list, I’d say the Huemul Route is least well know.
