THE PATAGONIAN ADVENTURE IN

Chile And Argentina

13 days / 12 nights

Patagonia is the region in South America shared by Argentina and Chile, a region with Andes Mountains, lakes, fjords and glaciers as well as deserts, tablelands and steppes.

Patagonia is one of the most interesting places in South America and is thought to be kept as natural as possible, therefore, all efforts made to reach this goal, make tourism a bit expensive. We will start our visit in Santiago de Chile getting prepared for this amazing adventure. Fly to Punta Arenas, the gate to the Chilean Patagonia and start your journey visiting its glaciers and lakes. The magical spectacle that the Torres del Paine massif offers, has allowed the visitor to understand why this place has been declared by the UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. Between the Patagonian steppe and the Cordillera de los Andes this paradise of wildlife and vegetation hide valuable treasures to be discovered and visited. After we learned about the wonders of this area, we will cross the border to Argentina and learn about the villages of El Chalten and El Calafate, in the vicinity of Mount Fitz Roy and the Perito Moreno Glacier to end in Buenos Aires with a wonderful Tango Show. Come with us and live your adventure in the Patagonia!
