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.”
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. Blanketed in peat and moss, and adorned with a whimsical forest of native trees, the dream comes alive… Ushuaia, Cape Horn, Wulaia, and the Fuegian canals.
This is a realm of relentless winds, brave sailors, boundless adventures, and local cuisine that will captivate your senses and leave a lasting impression.
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.
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, Viedma, Mayo.
Begin your journey in Santiago, the capital of Chile, amidst the majestic Andes. Explore its historic and contemporary neighborhoods, admire resilient skyscrapers that have weathered powerful earthquakes, and savor the city’s tranquil pace.
Don’t miss the pre-Columbian art museum, charming squares, bustling markets, and lush green parks—all contributing to an unforgettable experience. Just a ninety-minute drive away lies the legendary and bohemian Valparaíso! With its captivating sea views, diverse architecture, and iconic funiculars, Valparaíso is a must-see destination in South America—a city that belongs to all global citizens.
ITINERARY
Flight to Buenos Aires
Enjoy a private transfer and accommodation in a hotel located in one of Buenos Aires’ most beautiful areas: Recoleta, Palermo, or San Telmo, all conveniently close to major attractions. Upon arrival, meet with your local advisor who will provide you with your travel diary and all the necessary documents for your exploration of Argentina.
In the early afternoon, your local guide will pick you up from the hotel for an initial exploration of the city. Experience the vibrant atmospheres and sensations of this dynamic city as you discover its iconic districts. From the Plaza de Mayo square to the southern districts of the City, passing by the legendary port of La Boca, the charming San Telmo and the ultramodern Puerto Madero, this magnificent tour ends in the elegant atmosphere of La Recoleta.
On your last day here, you will have the chance to explore one of the districts with the company of a local person that will show you the secrets of the neighborhood, granting you a truly unique discovery of Buenos Aires.
Transfer to the airport for your flight to Ushuaia. Upon arrival, embark on an original exploration of Tierra del Fuego National Park, with short hikes along the lush, humid forest trails.
The region’s capricious climate brings a mix of wind, sun, and rain. In the late afternoon, board the cruise ship for an unparalleled adventure through the Fuegian canals at the end of the world.
As morning dawns, you arrive at the legendary Cape Horn. If weather conditions permit, you’ll disembark on a small, sheltered beach, marking the beginning of an extraordinary adventure.
Over the next three days, you’ll enjoy a wonderful cruise and expedition. The remarkably kind crew will treat you like family, and you’ll savor dishes specially prepared with Chilean cuisine that will delight your taste buds. Each day brings a unique experience during disembarkation. You’ll unlock the most beautiful experiences of Chilean Southern Patagonia: the magical Wulaia Bay with its rich, cold, and humid Magellan forest, the stunning Aguila and Pia glaciers, and the peaks that make this landscape feel otherworldly.
You’ll observe albatrosses soaring through the sky, and depending on the season, you may encounter dolphins, sea lions, or whales, along with dozens of other bird species. On the final day, just before returning to the continent, you’ll disembark and hike among the gentle Magellanic penguins—one of the most anticipated moments of the journey!
Around noon, the cruise and expedition ship will dock in the town of Punta Arenas, often referred to as the “Manaos of Patagonia.” At the end of the 20th century, this city experienced significant economic activity centered around trade and sheep breeding.
Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to Torres del Paine National Park, crossing the Chilean steppe. During the next three days, you’ll be accommodated in a lodge strategically located within the National Park, allowing you to experience this paradise on earth at your leisure.
The vastness of the scenery is truly absorbing. Numerous herds of guanacos, along with condors, eagles, and ibises, will accompany you during your discovery.
Transfer from your lodge to Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas to catch a flight to Santiago. Santiago, dominated by the Cordillera and adorned with green spaces, boasts a vibrant cultural life.
We’ll explore the historic center, including the Palacio de la Moneda, which is the current seat of government and a stunning example of colonial civil architecture in South America.
We’ll also visit the Plaza de Armas square, the Pre-Columbian Art Museum, and the bustling local market. You’ll be staying in a charming hotel located in one of Santiago’s trendy neighborhoods.
