In an effort to give you some guidance on how active each Turismo Aonikenk program might be, we have prepared a table explaining the level of each journey. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at +56-61-228332.

Level 1 - Easy
None of our level 1 trips are particularly difficult, but travel itself can be wearing. Trips rated level 1 are possible for everyone of any age in general good health.

Level 2 - Easy to Moderate
Level 2 programs have a wider range of activities and include more active travel. This also includes trips with short hikes of two to four hours or horseback riding. Accommodation is in cozy hosterias as well as in rustic refugios (mountain huts with dormitories, bunks and shared bathrooms).

Level 3 - Moderate
Level 3 programs, such as our "Guanaco Trek", involve hiking over moderate terrain. It is not necessary to carry your big backpack - you will only carry your daypack with your lunch, water bottle, camera and extra clothing instead. Programs rated level 3 are possible for beginners as long as you are in good health and physical condition. The refugios we stay in serve us as base camps for day hikes with walking times varying from six to eight hours and differences in altitude of 2,500 feet (750m) maximum.

Level 4 - Advanced
Level 4 trips include hiking and trekking trips where you will be active for between six to eight hours a day over steeper and more rugged terrain carrying your backpack. There can also be longer days with eight to ten hours with only a small daypack or mixed days (parts with backpack, parts without). You need to be in excellent health and physical condition to enjoy these trips. We set up our "Valle del Silencio & The Thunder of the Torres" trek (The "W" & a little more...") that one long hiking day is followed by a more moderate one. Camping is not necessary, because we will stay in refugios throughout the trip. We will hike from one hut to the next one and you will be carrying your own personal belongings including your sleeping bag. Additional group equipment is not to be carried. There can be other mandatory activities involved, such as ice hiking and ice climbing. No special skill is needed for neither ice hiking nor ice climbing. Differences in altitude go up to a maximum of 3,350 feet (1,000m).

Level 5 - Demanding, difficult
Our most demanding trips take place in remote areas, such as at Isla Navarino and around Cabo Froward. They include trekking five to eight hours a day on overland and mountainous terrain. We cross rivers, hike through swamps and are exposed to rough climate, such as at Isla Navarino, where snow is possible even in summer. The only option to discover these virgin regions is that trip members are comfortable with wilderness camping without any facilities. You must carry your personal equipment and part of the group's gear several days in a row. This includes sleeping bag, tent, stove, cooking utensils and food. You need to be in excellent health and physical condition to enjoy such a tour. You should have experience in trekking with backpack and you should come equipped with a spirit of adventure and a willingness to pitch in and help with camp chores. Differences in altitude can go up to a maximum of 3,350 feet (1,000m).
