Where inner clarity meets wide open skies
Step away from the noise of modern life and into a place that asks nothing of you — except presence.
The M-Trek is not a race or a rugged expedition. It’s a lovingly curated experience designed for women who want to start the year with purpose, presence, and deep connection — to nature, to community, and to themselves.
Nestled in the breathtaking wilds of Argentine Patagonia, this immersive journey blends moderate hiking with reflection, sisterhood, and soul-level renewal.

Your spiritual journey begins at home. We invite you to read Untamed by Glennon Doyle — a powerful guide to reclaiming your inner truth.
Two months before departure, we’ll gather on Zoom to meet one another, review travel logistics, and open the circle of intention so that we’re far fro strangers when we meet in El Calafate.
Fly into El Calafate by 1 PM. After greeting the group, we’ll take a scenic drive to our beautiful lodge in El Chaltén (3.5 hrs). Over a shared welcome dinner, we’ll celebrate the start of this trip of a lifetime — a time to reflect, reset, and honor the year ahead.
Day 2 – We’ll ease into the journey with a gentle hike to Laguna Capri (5 mi / 8 km). With views of Mount Fitz Roy, we’ll picnic by the lake and begin exploring the book’s themes through shared reflection. This is a space to begin releasing expectations and leaning into connection.
Day 3 – An unforgettable bucket list travel day: the Loma del Pliegue Tumbado Hike (13 mi / 21 km) offers a sweeping panorama of Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy. It’s our highest elevation (4,920 ft), and a powerful place to broaden your inner vision.
Day 4 - Hike to Laguna Rosa (5 mi / 8.1 km). Now, we venture where few travelers go in the Patagonia region - through the lenga forest, across Del Puesto Creek and the Pink Lagoon prairie, and close enough to the imposing Cagliero Este Glacier to contemplate hanging glaciers and moraines.
Heading north to the remote Refugio de Glaciares near Lago del Desierto, we’ll spend these two days exploring hidden valleys. After lunch, you will return to the lodge.
Day 5 - Hiking alongside the stunning Río de las Vueltas and Laguna del Milodón. Hiking options include routes of approximately 8 mi / 12 km, offering both challenge and breathtaking reward.
*Optional river hike (3.5 mi) or up to Laguna Milodon (7.5 mi).
Day 6 – Today’s hike to Puesto Cagliero brings us to a stunning refuge at the base of a glacier—our home for the night and the starting point for tomorrow’s explorations. (4 mi / 6.5 km)
In this intimate setting beneath the vast ice, we pause together for meaningful conversation, reflection, and the continued discovery of our voices.
Day 7 - From Puesto Cagliero, we set out toward Huemules, hiking via the striking Laguna Azul, whose vivid blue waters reflect the surrounding peaks. The trail winds through rugged Patagonian terrain, offering sweeping views of glaciers, forests, and open valleys before leading us onward to our night in the famed Eco Domes. (5 mi / 8.1 km)
Day 8 – Our final day of hiking takes us on an out-and-back journey to Lago Eléctrico, tracing glacial rivers and wide Patagonian valleys before returning to El Chaltén.
With expansive views of rugged peaks and open skies, this last trek offers a fitting farewell to the wild beauty that has carried us and a place to hear the fullness of our voices. (13 mi / 21 km)
Days 9-10: January 20-21
Day 9 -- After a glorious last morning sunrise waterfall hike (4 mi), we say goodbye to El Chalten and travel to El Calafate. Unwind at the hotel's spa before we gather for a last celebratory dinner and sharing.
This is your moment to honor your new voice, a new year, a new you!
Day 10 - Enjoy a final morning of peace at Imago Hotel before transferring to the airport. Your Honest Heart Journey continues - within you and alongside your new sisters.
