Southern Explorations Pulls Back the Curtain on Torres del Paine

SEATTLE, Nov. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern Explorations, specializing in crafting custom small-group trips and itineraries to Latin America, is pulling back the curtain and allowing travelers to follow along with their trip creation process as the adventure travel company goes in search of options and alternatives to the increasingly crowded 'W' and full circuit hikes at Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia.

The rugged and remote mountains of Torres del Paine are well known by outdoor lovers around the world. The 'W' and full-circuit hikes are absolute bucket list experiences, however, in recent years, the Southern Explorations team has noted a dramatic increase in tourism in the park.

In closely monitoring the affect that the rise in visitors could have on the Southern Explorations guest experience, the team identified the need to now offer guests an off-the-beaten path alternative. As such, Southern Explorations is going on the hunt for other opportunities to explore the region and is inviting everyone to join them on their journey.

Beginning Monday, November 26, follow along with Southern Explorations' own Sales & Operations Manager Eric Bartanen as he travels deep into the heart of Patagonia to embed himself with the locals. Eric's goal is to craft alternative trip options and learn of other recommendations that will allow guests to still experience the crucial highlights of any 'W' and full-circuit hikes through Torres del Paine, but that also go beyond the masses.

"We are always working to provide the best experience for our travelers while protecting the fragile regions we visit. We feel that hiking in the mountains should offer at least a little solitude and an alpine environment like Torres del Paine needs some breathing room too," explains Eric Bartanen. "We want our guests to see the absolute highlights of Torres del Paine, as well as the treasures the average traveler has overlooked, so I'll be on the hunt for those kinds of experiences." 

Follow along with Eric's journey on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter and discover just what it takes to create the ideal Southern Explorations experience.
