What we’re about
This is not a regular group. Please do not ask to join UNLESS you have hikes regularly with the Sonoma County Wanderers. This is a sub group of the Sonoma County Wanderers. You need to first be an active member of the Sonoma County Wanderers. Once you have an established hiking record (20+ hikes) with the Sonoma County Wanderers and are ready to hit the road and see distant parts of the world then you are ready to join this second group! This is a hiking and traveling group. Adventure and fitness are the name of the game!!
Most important fact to be aware of!!
There is limited availability on the trips. If you are serious about traveling out of Sonoma/Marin county with the group then you will need to have a STRONG presence on the moderate-strenuous and strenuous Sonoma County Wanderer hikes with the organizers...Leigh, Joseph or Yannick. We have found that Annabel and similar hikes will NOT prepare you for hiking outside of California. I will always put the hikers that have been recently hiking the long strenuous and moderate- strenuous hikes consistently on the list first. Those are the hikers that are going to be prepared for these trips. Another hiking habit to develop to prepare for these trips is to sign up for multiple day hikes in a row without a day break in between. The trips sound exciting and adventurous but they are not for everyone. If you truly enjoy the moderate 2-3.5 hour hikes the best and find yourself gravitating to those choices, then a SIGHTSEEING international trip is more suitable for you rather than a trekking trip.

Itinerary: Patagonia Itinerary.docx
Trekking in Patagonia offers adventurers a glimpse into some of the most breathtaking landscapes on the planet. Situated at the southern tip of South America, this region boasts rugged mountains, vast glaciers, and pristine lakes. Renowned for its towering granite peaks and turquoise lakes, and the Los Glaciares National Park, home to the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier. What draws so many hikers to Patagonia is not just its stunning landscapes but also the sense of remoteness and solitude, allowing trekkers to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of nature far from the distractions of modern life. Patagonia's unpredictable weather adds an element of excitement, with sunny skies one moment and fierce winds the next. However, the unparalleled beauty of the region makes every step worthwhile, offering a truly unforgettable adventure for outdoor enthusiasts.
These dates are an estimate. I am still working on the trip.
Expect a moderate trip with a mixture of hiking, traveling and sightseeing.
