Patagonian Highlights 14 Days
A magni cent holiday replete with dramatic vistas and great walks in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego
The southern region of Argentina and Chile offers travellers some of the most spectacular scenery on the South American continent. The Patagonian Andes consist of towering granite peaks, pristine lakes and massive glaciers. The town of El Chalten is our base for some great day hikes to Fitz Roy Base Camp, Laguna de los Tres and Cerro Torre. The sight and sound of the Moreno Glacier, as it makes its torturously slow advance across a five-kilometre front, will leave us breathless. Across the border in Chile, we enjoy some great day treks through the Paine National Park with its magnificent wildlife and the incredible Towers of Paine. Finally, at the tip of the continent, we explore the worlds southernmost city Ushuaia. A boat trip exploring the tiny islands of Beagle Channel is a delightful way to conclude our adventure.
