Day by day

Itinerary

1
Welcome to Buenos Aires
It's time to Tango your way through beautiful Buenos Aires - your launch pad to the other-worldly southern frontier of Patagonia. On arrival, your local host will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel. Relax or explore the grand boulevards and colourful barrios of Argentina's vibrant capital on your own. This evening, join your Travel Director and fellow expeditioners for dinner.
2
Buenos Aires Sightseeing
Explore Buenos Aires with your Travel Director, beginning along 9 de Julio Avenue, often called the widest street in the world. See the ornate Colón Theatre before arriving at Plaza de Mayo, the city’s historic heart, framed by the Casa Rosada, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cabildo. Step inside the cathedral to view its neoclassical interior. Continue to the lively district of La Boca, known for its brightly painted houses and the famous Caminito Street. Travel through Palermo’s green spaces, lined with lakes and gardens, then head to Recoleta to visit the cemetery where Eva Perón is buried.
3
Admire Tierra del Fuego National Park and Continue to Ushuaia
An expedition through the extraordinary landscapes of Patagonia begins today as you fly to the world's southernmost city, Ushuaia. On arrival, explore the dramatic landscapes of Tierra del Fuego National Park, Argentina’s southernmost national park on the border of Chile. Join a Local Specialist to delve deep into its natural splendour. Admire its beautiful waterfalls, forests and snow-capped mountains in which the wildlife of this area find sanctuary. Keep a keen eye out for red foxes, condors, eagles and beavers. Come face to face with the biological richness of Tierra del Fuego Island and its incredible scenic beauty, enjoying views over the Beagle Channel at Ensenada Bay, the glacial waters of Roca Lake and the deep waters of Lapataia Bay. This evening, dinner is served at your hotel on the Beagle Channel, so named for the famous HMS Beagle on which Charles Darwin once sailed the southern seas and saw glaciers for the first time.
4
Uncover Ushuaia
This morning, join a Local Specialist and your fellow travellers for a tour of Ushuaia including a visit to the Museo Marítimo y del Presido, where you’ll explore the history of the Prison at the End of the World and learn about the famous prisoners who were incarcerated there. Later, delve into its history as a former penal colony and missionary base on your own, or consider joining an optional cruise excursion on the Beagle Channel focusing on the scenic archipelago, wildlife and history. Learn about the great shipwrecks of the region, as well as the dogged determination of the first European explorers, who in the 19th century navigated this inhospitable region which has since had a turbulent history. Consider taking a longer excursion that includes views of lazy colonies of sea lions and Magellanic penguins, which Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan first saw in the early 16th century.
5
Off to El Calafate
Leave the 'End of the World' and fly to El Calafate on the shores of Lake Argentino, the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park with its spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier. You'll have a rare opportunity to explore the otherworldly landscape of massive glaciers, interconnected fjords and mountainside glacial lakes over the next few days, but not before perhaps tucking into the Calafate berry after which the town is named to secure your return to this mystical region.
6
Los Glaciares National Park Excursion
The day is dedicated to a deep exploration of the striking UNESCO-listed Los Glaciares National Park. Touring with a Local Specialist, you'll come face-to-face with its arctic-blue and white glaciers that are fed by the massive South Patagonian Ice Field. Discover the magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier, which towers above the icy waters of Lake Argentino. You could perhaps witness massive igloo icebergs plunging into the lake with thunderous force. Experience the rugged solitude of the windswept steppe and the quiet southern beech forests before heading back to El Calafate for an evening spent at leisure. Consider indulging all your senses savouring the town’s famous Patagonian lamb paired with a delectable glass of Argentina’s Malbec, or pop into the Glaciarium for a chilly encounter that will warm your polar heart.
7
Adventure to Puerto Natales
After breakfast, embark on an adventure to Puerto Natales, a charming gateway to the stunning landscapes of southern Chilean Patagonia. Your journey begins with a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at Pingo Salvaje, where you’ll learn about the ranch owners’ holistic grazing efforts. You'll also be led on a walk to an on-site waterfall, which the farm uses to produce hydraulic energy. Next, it’s off to to the fascinating Milodon Cave with your Local Specialist. Here, German explorer Herman Eberhard discovered evidence of a giant prehistoric ground sloth, along with traces of human habitation dating back to 6000 BC, offering a unique window into ancient life. Next, explore Rupestre Patagonia Park, which showcases Patagonia’s natural and cultural riches. Just a stone’s throw from Milodon Cave, this family-owned park features native Patagonian forests and diverse sedimentary rock formations. Alongside a Local Specialist, marvel at stunning eaves and caverns sculpted by glaciers 18,000 years ago. Pause at the Laguna Sofia viewpoint for breathtaking vistas and condor sightings. Along the way, uncover ancient cave paintings, each inviting your personal interpretation. This enriching day deepens your connection to Patagonia’s unique heritage and beauty.
8
Torres Del Paine National Park Sightseeing
Embark on a breathtaking journey into Torres del Paine National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of the world's most breathtaking wildernesses. Spanning over 113,000 hectares, this awe-inspiring landscape is famed for its jagged granite peaks, shimmering turquoise lakes, cascading waterfalls and roaring creeks. Guided by a Local Specialist, you'll explore some of the parks most iconic highlights: the glassy waters of Lage Pehoe, Salto Grande waterfall and Lago Gray viewpoint, offering sweeping vistas of the mighty Gray Glacier. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for guanacos, foxes, swans and other remarkable wildlife that call this pristine reserve home. Continue to the serene Laguna Amarga region, where you'll witness the towering Torres from the east and discover the fascinating cyanobacteria with stromatolites at the Laguna Amarga caldera. Conclude your day at the aptly named Blue Lagoon, its striking cerulean waters reflecting the untouched beauty and raw power of Patagonia.
9
Local culture of Puerto Natales
Enjoy a Be My Guest experience at Estancia Tierra de Overjeros, a working ranch in Cerro Castillo owned by Raúl and América. Surrounded by sheep pastures and fruit trees planted by América herself, you’ll learn how generations of hard work have shaped life in this remote part of Patagonia. Watch Raúl and his skilled sheepdogs demonstrate how flocks are guided using voice and whistle commands, then see how the wool is prepared for export. Afterwards, sit down with your hosts for a traditional Patagonian lamb barbecue. A welcome drink, regional dishes, homemade dessert and fresh bread with Pebre sauce complete this warm and authentic taste of Chilean country life.
10
Puerto Natales, Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers Excursion
Today's exploration takes you by boat up the Rio Serrano, passing the Southern Icefield (Campo de Hielo Sur) toward the icy turquoise sheets of the Serrano Glacier. Take some time with a Local Specialist to explore the impressive glacier with a hike through unspoiled, cool rainforest landscapes to Seno Última Esperanza (Fjord of the Last Hope) where you will see the rest of the Southern Patagonian Icefield. Continue through the fjord by boat with views of the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers in the background. This evening, join your Travel Director and fellow travellers for dinner and toast to an unforgettable expedition to the ends of the earth.
