PATAGONIA (ARGENTINA & CHILE)
17 DAYS

No mandatory single supplement charge

Massive heaven-reaching granite peaks, golden grasslands and turquoise lakes beneath an endless expanse of sky, abundant wildlife and huge glaciers left behind by the last Ice Age… Capture it all, on film and in your memory, during you Patagonia trip.

After exploring the cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, we commence our journey south, across one of the most unpopulated areas in the world. We will spend two days hiking among blue-green lakes, set against the snow-capped Andes. We carry on to the Los Glaciers NP and take a series of day hikes that afford classic views of magnificent Mt. Fitzroy and Cerro Torre. The next day brings another spellbinding scene: huge slabs of ice breaking away from the enormous Perito Moreno Glacier. We drive across the windswept grasslands to Chile’s world-renowned Torres del Paine National Park. We will go on spectacular hikes and admire the legendary Blue Towers. After spending a night at a typical estancia, we fly to the ‘World’s End’ town of Ushuaia. We will hike in the Terra del Fuego National Park before flying back to Buenos Aires.
