Description

This trip offers an unforgettable journey through the highlights of Argentine Patagonia. Immerse yourself in nature at its purest, experience profound emotions, and enjoy unforgettable hikes!

A brief stay to be dazzled by the atmosphere of this unforgettable city, “The Paris of South America”. A city of dreams and melancholy, contrasts and harmony, past and modernity. The sensual tunes of tango seduce and accompany us through unforgettable moments. This South American capital, with its European flair and wide Haussmann-style avenues, enchants and celebrates its visitors as “La Reina del Plata.”

Atlantic Patagonia will captivate you with its vast, infinite spaces and deep blue waters. Each year, the Peninsula Valdés becomes a sanctuary for numerous bird species and large marine mammals that come to breed.
Experience unforgettable moments with playful southern right whales, powerful elephant seals, and sea lions, as well as the graceful penguins at the Punta Tombo reserve. This journey offers a profound understanding of the strength and fragility of life.

Going as far as possible… Tierra del Fuego offers an experience of complete fulfillment. It’s the end of the world, yet also the beginning of a new one.

Lined with peat and moss and covered by whimsical forests, Tierra del Fuego evokes sensations of freedom and dreams. Ushuaia, La Pataia, and once again, the end of the world. It is a realm of wind, adventurous sailors, dreams, and the exquisite sea spider.

Great peaks, wind, and infinite spaces full of strength. Lakes of dazzling blues and greens stretch out before you. Then, a large blue lake with pieces of ice drifting upon it brings you closer to unique peaks and mountains like Chaltén and Cerro Torre. Suddenly, the steppe transforms into a forest, revealing Patagonia’s most beautiful secret: the sumptuous glaciers of the largest ice cap in America: Perito Moreno, Upsala, Frias.

Experience the vast Patagonian steppe, where the serene guanacos, solitary maras, graceful rheas, and lightning-fast hares inhabit the landscape, creating a truly unique and unforgettable journey.

Return your car to Trelew airport and fly to the End of the World: Ushuaia.
Arrival, reception and transfer to discover the original Tierra del Fuego National Park with a guide. Hikes specially prepared for you through the humid primitive forests.

To reach Punta Banderas from El Calafate, you must traverse 50 km through the heart of expansive estancias that separate the town from Los Glaciares National Park. Punta Banderas is the spot to board a boat and explore the vast Lago Argentino lake, with its large drifting icebergs and the majestic Upsala Glacier.

At Estancia Cristina, you will embark on a thrilling 4×4 journey to a viewpoint offering an unforgettable spectacle. After a short hike along the moraine of the Upsala Glacier, we are captivated by a section of the great Patagonian ice cap. The return to the pier takes us through a unique valley, with approximately three hours of walking.

The Perito Moreno Glacier seems like the result of a magic trick, but it is indeed real! It benefits from a unique location in the world.

The access road is easy—only 80 km from El Calafate—and is surrounded by an evergreen forest. The glacier’s ice walls are over 100 meters high (125 meters submerged, 70 meters above the surface) and gently slide into the Lago Argentino lake. From time to time, the crash of ice pieces falling into the milky waters of the lake reminds us of its powerful presence. Undeniably, this is one of the greatest travel experiences!

To end this excellent day, you can hike on the glacier. In the late afternoon, return to El Calafate.

Start your journey from El Calafate by car, traversing the breathtaking landscapes of the vast Lago Argentino and Viedma lakes. Your destination is the legendary village of El Chaltén, the gateway for hikers aiming to explore the renowned Fitz Roy massif and Cerro Torre hill.
