Itinerary
BUENOS AIRES
Meeting at hotel in Buenos Aires. After settling in, a tour of one of the most beautiful cities on the southern hemisphere. The famous port of Boka, the tango at every turn, the old town on La Plata, Avenue 9. de Julio with its obelisk, the main square of Plaza de Mayo, huge parks, top restaurants, and even better wine. 🙂 All in one place. Dinner. Overnight.
BUENOS AIRES – EL CALAFATE
After breakfast we fly to El Calafate. Transfer to hotel and accommodation. Tour of a lovely town on the south of the continent. Dinner and overnight.
EL CALAFATE – PERITO MORENO – EL CALAFATE
Breakfast. Today, we’re going on a tour of the imposing glaciers Perito Moreno. Possible cruise by lake and organization of picnics on the glacier! Return to El Calafate. Who doesn’t want to see the glacier can take a tour of the city and visit their Adventure Park, which is ideal for children. Dinner. Overnight.
CERRO TORRE
Breakfast. Transfer to El Chalten. Accommodation in the hotel. After our check-in, we’re going to explore the Argentinean part of Patagonia. Lightweight trek for 3 hours to Laguna Torre, from where you can see one of the most beautiful and hardest peaks – Cerro Torre. We spend some time on the shores of the lake, and then we go back to El Chalten. Free time, dinner and overnight.
FITZ ROY
Breakfast. Trek to the lake at the foot of the highest peak of Patagonia – Fitz Roy (3359m), Lagune de los Tres. This is somewhat a more demanding tour and the trek to the lake lasts about 4h. A turquoise lake in combination with dominant peaks will not leave you indifferent. Also, the entire Fitz Roy massif is used as the “Patagonia” logo, so if someone owns one of their products, they will be able to see it on the spot. Return back to El Chalten, then take the bus back to El Calafate. Overnight.
EL CALAFATE – PUERTO NATALES
Breakfast. Transfer to Puerto Natales. Entering Chile. Accommodation in the hotel. Rest and relaxation after the road. City tour. Dinner. Overnight stay.
TORRES DEL PAINE – MIRADOR DEL TORRES
For the end of the trek we left the most recognizable symbol of the park and a place where you will surely remain breathless. After breakfast, we start by bus for Tores del Paine, and then on the ascent and after 1,5 hours, we arrive at the mountain chalet where we make a short break. We keep walking by observing the condors that compel us.
The final part of the trek is also the most challenging, but the prize that awaits us at the very top is incredible. You will definitely remember the view that will be provided from the Mirador del Torres point. Return back to the campsite, from where we board the bus and return to Puerto Natales. Dinner and overnight stay.
Note: Who does not want to take a trek can take a day trip to Punta Arenas, where we’ll board on a boat that drives to the island in the Magellanic Strait to see the Royal Penguins. Return to the hotel in the evening.
