CHILEAN & ARGENTINE PATAGONIA
We have organized a fascinating tour of the most evocative landscapes of Chilean and Argentine Patagonia:
A 10-day tour of Chilean and Argentine Patagonia offers a total immersion in some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Southern Hemisphere. The adventure begins in the wonderful Torres del Paine National Park, where we’ll explore turquoise lakes, glacial rivers, and the iconic granite peaks. We’ll have time to visit key viewpoints, hike easy trails, and watch sunrises that paint the mountains pink.
Then we’ll cross the border into Argentina to reach El Calafate and visit the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing. We’ll walk along its scenic boardwalks and take a boat tour to get a close-up view of its enormous ice walls as they crash down with a thunderous roar. The journey continues to El Chaltén, Argentina’s trekking capital. Here we’ll enjoy hikes to natural viewpoints such as Laguna Capri or Fitz Roy, surrounded by Patagonian forests and jagged peaks. The town’s mountain atmosphere perfectly complements our days spent outdoors. Finally, we’ll return to El Calafate to wrap up this journey filled with nature, photography, and adventure in one of the most spectacular regions on the planet.
A highly ambitious trip undertaken with great enthusiasm, designed for true lovers of mountain scenery and nature photography.
The lights and colors of Patagonia are waiting for you!
