Armchair Global Adventures: Backpack across the Patagonian Andes from Bariloche Argentina to Puerto Montt Chile

In February 2016, Cheryl Talbert and a group of intrepid Mountaineers Adventurers set out with backpacks from Bariloche Argentina, in the heart of the Argentine Lakes District, to trek across the Andes crest through Nahuel Huapi National Park, passing high on Cerro Tronador ("The Thunderer") on the Chilean Border, and then across into Chile on a ferry through the system of lakes that connects the two countries.  The group then day-hiked high on the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes in Chile and then trekked deep into Valle Cochamo, called 'Chile's Yosemite' for its vertical white granite cliffs, enjoying incredible local food and hospitality.  In this presentation Cheryl will share maps, photos and logistics from the trip, which she is also leading in slightly modified form in February of 2021 (We hope!).

Beginning two days before the event we will email the instructions and link to join the zoom call.
