With its diverse landscapes, Latin America is home to many of the world's top destinations for hiking and trekking. It covers almost every terrain you can think of, from the sun-baked Atacama desert to the luscious green rainforest of the Amazon, the soaring mountains and crisp white glaciers of Patagonia, to the high alpine peaks and volcanos of the Andes. There are many National Parks to hike and camp, as well as beautiful landscapes beyond the parks. One of the most popular places for hiking and trekking in Latin America is the beautiful untouched Patagonian region of Chile and Argentina.
