Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Torres del Paine National Park,Chile,Southern Patagonia,Antarctica
100% customisable for you
Once you have cleared customs and collected your luggage this morning, one of our team on the ground will meet you for the short private transfer to your hotel. Once you have dropped your bags off, your guide will meet you for an afternoon walking tour of the city. This is one of our favourite tried-and-trusted ways to beat jetlag, so adopt a brisk pace and the cobwebs will be well and truly swept away (and you'll hopefully sleep like a baby tonight).
This morning you will be privately transferred from your hotel to the airport in good time for your flight to Puerto Natales, the gateway to Chilean Patagonia. Here, one of our team on the ground will meet you for a private transfer to your hotel. You'll have the rest of the afternoon to settle in before dinner, which we have pre-booked for you at your hotel.
This morning you will head to Torres del Paine National Park in your 4x4. The park is enormous, so this is the best (if most intense) way to see as much as possible of it. As you drive from West to East across the park, you will stop for an (relatively) easy hike to Laguna Azul, where your guide will point out the full spectrum of flora and fauna in the park, as well as the epic views across the Paine Massif and surrounding lakes, rivers and waterfalls.
This morning you will drive east across the border and into El Calafate - home to Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park. The drive will take roughly five hours, depending on how often you stop to take photos (often, we suspect), and you will arrive at your next hotel in time for lunch. This afternoon we recommend a visit to the Glaciarium Museum, a state-of-the-art facility where the Patagonian ice sheets are shown in their natural and historic perspective.
Today you will visit the mighty Perito Moreno Glacier. In the morning, those who want a more active activity can head to the top of the glacier for a short ice hike, while those who would prefer to take things at a more leisurely pace can opt for an hour-long catamaran trip along the glacier's ice wall. After a packed lunch at the glacier, you will make your way to the glacier's observation deck, where you will spend an hour or two exploring the multilevel feat of engineering and if you are lucky you will witness the glacier calving (where the front of the glacier breaks off into the water below). While you enjoy dinner this evening, one of the team will collect your car and return it to the start point for you.
This morning you will be transferred to El Calafate airport in good time for your hour-and-a-half flight to Ushuaia. Once you have picked up your bags, one of our team on the ground will meet you for a private transfer to your hotel for the night.
Today you reach the South Shetland Islands, where you will explore on foot. You will visit the old whaling stations and British research centre and enjoy a lovely hike with a geologist guide who will explain the unique volcanic features of the island.
After breakfast you will disembark the ship and be met by one of our team on the ground for a private transfer back to the airport in good time for your three-and-half hour flight to Buenos Aires. Once you have landed in the Argentine capital, you will be privately transferred to your hotel for the night. Once settled in and freshened up you will make your way to a local theatre for dinner and a tango show.
