A rugged region with pristine lakes, dramatic mountains and awe inspiring glaciers - Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego will take your breath away.

This tour will take you into the heart of Chile and Argentina’s most beautiful wilderness regions. Stunning landscapes, surreal sunsets and excellent trekking opportunities are yours to explore!

After greeting you from our gateway hotel in Calafate, we begin exploring this beautiful part of the world with a visit to the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. One of the world’s few advancing glaciers, Perito Moreno provides spectacular shows as its massive chunks of ice fall into Lake Argentino, the third largest lake in South America. There will be ample time for an optional trek to Perito Moreno’s ice face, horse riding or a boat cruise to nearby glaciers.

Continuing the journey, we will travel along the mystical Ruta 40 to the mountain village of El Chalten. Located at the foot of Fitz Roy mountain range, we will have easy access to the many local trekking opportunities.

Crossing the border into Chile, it only gets better. We will camp and explore the spectacular Torres del Paine National Park. Highlights include Lago Nordensjold, Grey Glacier and the imposing and iconic Torres Massif, whose grandeur will inspire even the most travelled visitors. Watch the icebergs floating alongside Grey Glacier or hike the challenging trail to the Torres themselves for a remarkable view from a jade coloured lagoon. Wildlife abounds in this remote region and you may be fortunate to be watched over by a condor soaring high overhead.

Leaving Torres del Paine, we travel south to the picturesque fishing village of Puerto Natales, located on the shores of Last Hope Sound. Enjoy delicious seafood and a good night’s rest before continuing on to Punta Arenas. Why not visit the nearby Seno Ottway Penguin Colony for some great photos of these beautiful, if not graceful, birds?

After crossing the Strait of Magellan, we will spend our final days in Ushuaia, the city at the end of the world. Located along the Beagle Channel and surrounded by majestic mountains, we will trek in the nearby Tierra del Fuego National Park and canoe in the Channel, as well as make time for biking, kayaking or a boat cruise before finishing this ultimate adventure.
