The Southern tip of the South American continent is one of the few places left on the planet where you can say that nature can truly follow its course. Patagonia, shared between Chile and Argentina, is a land of vast open spaces, wilderness, silence and towns and cities that seem to defy the often inhospitable environment.
The beautiful expanses of Patagonia managed to conjure up feelings of affection even in hardened criminals (and edventurers) like Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. The steppe-like plains, the rainy Andes and the unmistakable flavor of the local culture make Patagonia one of the most fascinating destinations in the world.

That leaves us with expanses of magnificently rugged and challenging terrain through which daring travelers have forged paths in their search of beautiful vistas and healthy outdoor exercise. Some trails are difficult and technical, while others are easy enough that you have ample time to admire the surrounding scenery. So here are some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world. …

Hiking is an awesome way of visiting natural attractions, but the truth is that sometimes it can be awfully difficult. Those who are not used to physical effort will sometimes find it exhausting to follow in the footsteps of an experienced hiker who is used to climbing steep slopes and difficult terrain, and nobody likes to be the last one in a group of climbers, slowly and tortuously trying to follow them.
That’s why if you are a beginner in matters of hiking, it’s better if you start small. Easier hikes are not less scenic or less worthwhile then the more difficult ones, and you will build up stamina and experience for longer and more complicated trails, so here are some of the best hiking destinations for beginners. …
