Race Details
The Patagonian Expedition Race is a true adventure taking mixed teams of four through a remote corner of the world. It is incredibly arduous and to merely finish is a huge achievement. Racers receive minimal assistance as they traverse across southern Patagonia by trekking, climbing abseiling, kayaking, mountain biking all through self-navigation. They will often cover hundreds of kilometres without seeing a soul.

Date: 16th - 26th February 2016
Entry fee: $4,000 (per team of 4)
Race HQ: Punta Arenas

The race officially ends in Puerto Natales, where there will be an after party and official closing ceremony. We can arrange all necessary transfers back to Punta Arenas for your onward journey.
