The Alpujarras stretch from the Sierra Nevada watershed in the north to the Mediterranean in the south and create a paradise for walkers. Moorish influences can still be seen in the little villages with narrow streets and white-washed houses that seem to hang on the hillsides. Forest tracks and intermediate mountain paths wind through a landscape rich in wildlife - boar, ibex, foxes, wild cats, and many birds, while in the valleys vines, almonds and olives are grown and mules still toil in the fields. This holiday is based on the edge of Los Berchules village with a backdrop of the snow-capped Cerro Gordo. Hotel Los Berchules offers good ensuite twin rooms and plenty of singles, a comfortable bar and lounge with an open fire for cooler evenings, a wide outside terrace with lovely views, and tasty evening meals of tapas and other regional dishes. The holiday finishes with a last night in Granada so that we can visit the Alhambra before we fly (not included - €12), or we can explore the rest of this fascinating city. The meals in Granada and 2 evening meals at Los Berchules are not included (on these 2 evenings we will eat out in mountain restaurants - from £10).

Patagonia in the southernmost portion of South America contains some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the world. It is a land of wilderness where broad expanses of pampa meet the glacially sculpted spires of the Andes. Unique in its flora and fauna, and the wind blows strongly here much of the time. This high level holiday includes the spectacular 5-night 'W' trek in Las Torres del Paine National Park taking you to the foot of the soaring spires of Las Torres and close to Glacier Grey. We will also visit the spectacular Moreno glacier where huge blocks fall off into Lake Argentino to float away as ice bergs. The holiday finishes with 3 days walking in the magnificent Mt Fitzroy region of the Andes, including walking past Laguna de los Tres to reach close up views of Fitzroy's incredible North Face. Though not at altitude, non-technical, with day pack only, the walking in these areas is strenuous with plenty of 'up', and some long days in challenging terrain. The accommodation will be in hotels in Buenos Aries, tents or refuges on trek, and a hostel in Chalten near Fitzroy. Besides the internal flight between Buenos Aries and El Calafete, there will be a total 19 hours of transfer by minibus during the trip: north on Route 40 to the Paine National Park, and south to el Chalten. The first and last nights are spent in Buenos Aries with time to relax, take a city tour, see the historic area of San Isidro, or shop for souvenirs. The holiday includes the flight from London Heathrow to Buenos Aires. (See WW website Accommodation page for the full itinerary).
