Patagonia
Patagonian Landscapes
Explorer
Ushuaia to El Calafate
Argentina, Chile
Discover the highlights of southern Patagonia and
Tierra del Fuego in 11 days. From the black rock and
snowcapped mountains of Ushuaia set around a
placid bay, we cross the fabled Magellan straits,
heading towards the wilderness at Torres del Paine,
where we can hike and go in search of condors and
pumas, foxes and nandus. A boat trip at Argentina’s
Moreno Glacier reveals turquoise pillars and brilliant
blue ice floes, then it’s on to the tiny Patagonian town
of El Chalten, famed for its outdoor activities and
great treks past frozen lakes and granite pillars of the
southern Andes. Our trip ends at El Calafate, located
deep in the great Patagonian outdoors.
