Our tour of Patagonia starts in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, on the southern shores of the Rio de la Plata. Since its founding by Pedro de Mendoza in 1536, the city has thrived on trade and its vibrant streets are a tapestry of European architectural styles, wit...
Today, we'll leave the city far behind, heading south to Patagonia and the town of El Calafate, the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park. From here, we'll travel approximately three hours to El Chalten, a charming village close to Fitzroy and Torre Massif. After che...
After an early breakfast this morning, we'll drive to El Pilar, the starting point for the classic trek to Laguna de los Tres. Taking just what we need for an overnight expedition, we'll ascend for 2 hours up a gentle slope with views over the Fitzroy Massif and Piedr...
After a camp breakfast, we'll set out for another day's hiking through the unique landscape of Los Glaciares National Park - taking the Madre e Hija Trail, which links the Fitzroy and Torre Valleys. We'll walk past two clear lagoons and through Lenga Forest on ou...
This morning, there'll be the option to enjoy rafting on the Rio de Las Vueltas or to take an excursion to Lago Del Desierto, where you'll enjoy a scenic drive to the lake, followed by a short sail across the waters and a hike up to the Vespignani Glacier lookout. In ...
Today we'll make an excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier - an ice river towering an average of 60 metres above the surface of the lake water. Fed by the vast expanse of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the glacier covers 250 square kilometres and stretches over 30 kil...
Today, we'll take the public bus south to Puerto Natales, crossing into Chile en route. The journey will take around six hours. Puerto Natales is the gateway to the Torres del Paine National Park, and from small beginnings as a tiny fishing port it has blossomed i...
After breakfast this morning, we'll drive from Puerto Natales to Torres del Paine National Park (approximately an hour and a half). We'll continue along the winding roads of the park to the Grey Lake area, taking in the views of Cuernos del Paine en route. On arrival ...
From Grey refuge, we'll start our trek along the first leg of the 'W' circuit, walking by Grey Lake and crossing the beginning of French Valley, where we'll spend the night. The trekking is relaxed, passing through mountain and lake scenery to the Frances Domes refuge...
We'll have an early start today as we head out to trek the French Valley. As we walk along streams and the main river, if we\ re lucky we might see glacier breaks from Paine Grande. There are some short steep climbs as we arrive at the main lookout point at Britanicos...
Today's trail is known as Sendero Paso Los Cuernos because it passes under the dramatic mountains known as 'Los Cuernos' (horns). We'll walk alongside the shores of the beautiful Nordenskjöld Lake, crossing small rivers and wide grasslands along the way. We'll continu...
Our final day of trekking takes us to the foot of what has inspired us over the last week - the granite towers of Torres del Paine. Climbing steeply, high above the scattered blue lakes, we'll hike along the Asencio river, and up towards the Torres. After a final clam...
This morning, we'll leave the wilds of Patagonia behind and take a flight to Santiago, Chile's capital in the shadow of the Andes. We should arrive in the late afternoon and the rest of the evening is free to enjoy the city. Please note, on occasion flight schedules can change and we may arrive later.
Meals Provided : Breakfast
If you have an afternoon flight, you might like to take an optional walking tour of the city. Santiago's historic colonial centre and acres of green space contrast sharply with its modern business district and quickly growing urban scene. Our tour of Patagonia end...
