SFS Chile: The Patagonian Winter

Spend three days in Torres del Paine National Park, where you’ll see guanacos and flightless ñandús, and traverse the broadleaf evergreen forests near the ice wall of the Grey Glacier.

Embark on an expedition to El Calafate to explore Los Glaciares National Park, Laguna Nimez Municipal Ecological Reserve, and Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in Argentina.

Journey to northern Patagonia’s Los Lagos (lakes) region, home to the lush Valdivian temperate rainforests, the active Calbuco and Osorno volcanoes, and massive blue whales.

Research on topics that include climate change impacts, resilience, conservation, ecological succession, aquaculture and aquatic ecology, coastal and alpine ecology, and protected areas management.

Celebrate We Tripantu – the winter solstice – and learn about Kawésqar indigenous knowledge during the longest night.
