Welcome to Argentina! After landing at El Calafate airport, you’ll transfer to beautiful El Chaltén. This colourful mountain village is located in Los Glaciares National Park and is a gateway to two of the most impressive peaks in the Patagonian Andes—Mt Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. It’s also known at Argentina’s trekking capital due to its many hiking trails, including those at the base of nearby peaks and glacial lakes.

Wake up surrounded by breathtaking mountains in this charming town. Your boutique accommodation is designed to capture the calm and serenity of your incredible landscape with views from every room.

This morning you will set out for a full day of sightseeing on foot in El Chaltén. There are many trails to suit most fitness levels and weather conditions, and your route will be chosen in consultation with your tour guide.

After breakfast, you’ll take in the beautiful Argentinean countryside on a 4 hour scenic drive to El Calafate. This remote region of Argentina is referred to as ‘Los Glaciares’ (the glaciers) or the lake region, as much of it is covered by a vast sheet of ice over 320 kilometres long and up to 65 kilometres wide. In 1973 Los Glaciares National Park was created to preserve this vast glacial area; it was also given ‘Humanity Inheritance’ status by UNESCO. This stunning area boasts towering mountains, clear lakes and huge glaciers that descend from the Andes into icy arms on the western edges of the lakes.

Capture the true essence of this stunning location, as you arrive at your remote hotel, set amidst its own 10,000 acre estancia. This secluded property, housing just 17 rooms, exudes a simplistic elegance, and offers a colourful array of panoramic vistas with a seemingly infinite horizon.

A day you will never forget as you head out to explore more of Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina’s largest national park, on a private guided tour. The highlight will be seeing and hearing the thundering sound of ice breaking from the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few advancing glaciers left in the world. Enjoy the crisp unpolluted air and the peaceful silence, which is only interrupted by the movement of the glacier as huge blocks of its ice fall into the Canal de los Tempanos below.

Heading back to your hotel, enjoy an exquisite meal prepared from local produce to bring out the Patagonian flavours infused with international style.

Enjoy the scenery as you venture across the border into Chile and the town of Puerto Natales, gateway to the amazing Torres del Paine National Park. This picturesque, port city rests at the bed of Seno Última Esperanza with views of the magnificent, snow-capped mountains.

Your luxury accommodation for the next two nights is a world-class sanctuary tucked away in the vast landscapes of Patagonia. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds the property, the Remota Patagonia Lodge perfectly blends rugged nature with pure elegance. Designed by famed Chilean architect, Germán del Sol, its brilliant and unique architecture refers to the historic Patagonian sheep-shearing farms. While staying here, you’ll bask in incredible views of mountains, fjords and glaciers.

You’ll spend today discovering one of the world’s most spectacular national parks, incredible Torres del Paine.

Before reaching the national park, you will venture into the impressive paleontological site of Cueva del Milodón, or Mylodon Cave. Measuring 200 metres deep, 80 metres wide and 30 metres high, this cavern is the site where partial remains were discovered of the now extinct, giant ground sloth, the mylodon.

Covering 242,242 hectares, Torres del Paine is a fertile combination of lakes, lagoons, waterfalls, glaciers, hills and peaks. Inside the park, the road is surrounded by dozens of lagoons inhabited by aquatic birds, contrasting with small hills where flocks of guanaco’s pasture. One of the main lakes at the eastern entrance of the park is Sarmiento Lake, characterised by its remarkable blue-coloured water. There is also the Nordenskjold Lake, which bathes the mountainside of the Paine range in an emerald green colour. The lake gives life to the impetuous Salto Grande (big waterfall), forming the quiet Pehoe Lake.

Your journey through the park continues by the Salto Chico (small waterfall), skirting the Paine River, until you reach the Grey Lake. Enjoy a walk along a track, crossing the Pingo river to reach the sandy ground on the borders of the lake where numerous icebergs can be seen. At the far end of the lake is the imposing Grey Glacier.

Returning to your hotel, you will enjoy the evening at leisure to relax in the opulence.

Transferring from Puerto Natales to Punta Arenas airport, today marks the end of your amazing Patagonian experience. We hope you leave with fantastic memories!
