Overview

This is an ideal introduction to the spectacular world renowned parks of Patagonia, without the need to commit to long walking days. From the awesome Perito Moreno Glacier, we continue onto Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, home to the famous 3000m spires of Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy. We travel across the border to Chile and take a stunning cruise from Puerto Natales into the heart of the Torres del Paine National Park. We explore on foot the vast pampas and forests, home to herds of Guanaco and hopefully spot Andean Condors circling near the base of the dramatic granite 'Towers of Paine'. After each exhilarating day walk we return to our comfortable hotel or lodge, for a wholesome meal and warm bedroom.

Itinerary

On your arrival in El Calafate, make your way to the group hotel. A transfer can be booked on request for an additional cost. You will meet your guide in the evening for a group briefing. Accommodation: Imago Hotel or similar

Meals: Nil

The trip begins this morning around 8am, when we are met by our group leader. We head towards the Andes to the edge of the icecap for a full day tour to the impressive Perito Moreno Glacier that advances across Lago Argentino. This day tour is on a private service basis. We spend several hours walking paths at the front of the glacier. The glacier is 4km wide and the height of the front wall ranges between 50-60m above the level of the lake almost cutting the lake in two. Occasionally massive pieces break off and fall into the lake becoming icebergs and creating huge waves in the process. There is an optional extra to join a one-hour boat excursion, offering a unique perspective of the glacier from water level. Viewing the glacier from the lake highlights the immense scale of its ice walls, peaks and towers, providing a different appreciation of this remarkable natural landscape. Please enquire at time of booking. Accommodation: Imago Hotel or similar. Please Note: Lunch is not included today. We recommend that you purchase supplies in El Calafate.

Meals: B

Embark on a scenic five-hour public bus to El Chalten, where rolling hills and occasional herds of guanaco and rhea grace the landscape. Keep an eye out for majestic Condors gliding above the vast Patagonian pampas. Upon reaching El Chalten, enjoy the afternoon at your leisure to explore the town. Please note that this is a shared transfer. In El Chalten you will not find money exchanges or banks and ATMs may not always have cash. It is recommended to carry cash, however, most accept credit cards, and in some cases mobile payments, provided there is signal or Wi-Fi available. A guide will transfer you to the bus station in the morning and you will be met on arrival and transferred to your hotel. Accommodation: Senderos Hostería or similar

Meals: B,D

El Chalten is a village in the heart of Los Glaciares National Park from which we make our day trips. The two most famous hikes in this area are day walks to Laguna Torre (approx 7 hours - 20km) and Laguna de Los Tres (approx 9 hours - 20km) which we want to undertake in the next two days - these hikes are on a private service basis and latter of which is considerd challenging. Both treks start at our hotel and they offer stunning views of Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy. Mount Fitz Roy is found at the northern end of the park and is part of a range of bizarre peaks including the needle like rock pinnacle of Cerro Torre. To the south runs a great chain of massive glaciers that basically follow the line of the Chile/Argentina border. The dramatic rock spires beckon and our days here will be a highlight of the itinerary. The beautiful valleys hold crystal clear streams and are home to a multitude of bird life. During the short summer the Patagonian flowers bloom profusely. Please note, all treks are subject to weather conditions. Accommodation: Senderos Hostería or similar Laguna Torre: Walking distance: 18km Difference in altitude: 350m - moderate Laguna de Los Tres: Walking distance: 20km Difference in altitude: 750m - challenging

Meals: B,L,D

We begin today depending on group size with a scenic public bus ride El Calafate and then a private transfer to the fishing village of Puerto Natales situated on the Ultima Esperanza Fiord in Chile (shared transfer). We are crossing the border from Argentina into Chile today and border formalities can make the journey a bit longer, 7-9hrs. A guide will transfer you to the bus station in the morning and you will be met on arrival and transferred to your hotel. Acommodation: Weskar Patagonian Lodge or similar.

Meals: B

A spectacular day cruising towards Torres del Paine National Park, we enjoy impressive glaciers tumbling down from the mountains and beautiful panoramic views. Many past travellers rate this as one of the best days on this trip. From Puerto Natales we join our boat trip to the massive Balmaceda Glacier which calves into the Ultima Esperanza Fjord. After lunch in a beautiful location on the fjord, we continue onto the National Park by zodiac. The Towers of Paine are right before us, as we enter the National Park. This boat trip certainly is the best and most interesting way to arrive into Torres del Paine. We plan to arrive at the park in the late afternoon and the remainder of the day is at leisure. Accommodation: Hotel Las Torres or similar PLEASE NOTE: The boat trip is on a shared service basis and is weather dependent. If boats are not able to operate due to weather conditions, we will organise alternative transportation into Torres del Paine National Park.

Meals: B,L,D

Located in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park, Las Torres Reserve is dedicated to the conservation of Patagonia’s natural and cultural heritage through sustainable tourism and internationally recognised conservation practices. Surrounded by some of the park’s most iconic landscapes, it provides an ideal base from which to experience this remarkable region. You will spend two full days at the reserve, with the opportunity to choose from a range of guided activities focused on nature, adventure, culture and gastronomy. To assist with planning, you will be asked to select your preferred excursion approximately one month prior to departure, based on your interests and fitness level. The reserve sits alongside the famous W Circuit and O Circuit trekking routes and is the only location within Torres del Paine National Park where horseback riding is permitted. Experienced baqueanos (Patagonian horsemen and horsewomen) and bilingual guides accompany many of the activities, sharing their local knowledge, traditions and stories. A navigation excursion to Grey Glacier is included. Subject to availability, other activity options may include a full-day hike to the Base Torres viewpoint, a half-day walk through the Lenga Forest, horseback riding to Lago Nordenskjöld or the Enchanted Valley, a regenerative kitchen garden experience, or a cultural activity with local baqueanos. Please note that all excursions are subject to availability and prevailing weather conditions at the time of your stay. Accommodation: Hotel Las Torres or similar Hotel Las Torres works in partnership with a not-for-profit organisation called AMA to make sure the park remains sustainable into the future. On top of critical conservation activities such as trail maintenance and waste management, AMA also engages in scientific research and provides essential educational services. They regularly work with Chilean schools to improve environmental awareness.

Meals: B,L,D

After watching the final sunrise over the granite peaks and enjoying breakfast, it is time to bid farewell to Patagonia. Your journey continues with a shared transfer across the vast Patagonian steppes, following the eastern side of the Andes through rolling grasslands and windswept plains. Along the way, keep an eye out for guanacos, rheas and soaring birds of prey. Shared onward transfers are available to Puerto Natales (approximately 2.5 hours), Punta Arenas (approximately 5 hours) and El Calafate (approximately 7.5 hours). Transfers to Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas operate by shared vehicle, while the El Calafate service combines a shared transfer with a touristic bus connection. Journey times are approximate and may vary due to weather, road and border conditions. For guests travelling to El Calafate, the transfer departs EcoCamp early in the morning and typically arrives during the afternoon. We recommend staying overnight in El Calafate before arranging onward flights. Additional accommodation can be arranged if required. Please speak to our Reservations team to confirm the current transfer schedule and suitable onward travel arrangements before booking connecting flights.

A diverse and fascinating trip covering fjords, big sky steppes, vast glaciers and hikes through the best of the national parks.

A fascinating region full of wildlife spotting opportunities.

Weather can be four seasons in a day so do follow that packing list.We used everything!

I was very disappointed that no seating had been booked for my trip which meant we were often a long way apart.

We were not given enough information as to how we were to get to places and if we had tickets etc.

The other participant in our tour had a 14page pdf document sent to her from Brisbane office that outlined everything.

This meant we were uncertain at the end of each place as to how we were getting to the next place.

It all ended well but I feel we should also have had a much clearer outline of movements like the other woman

The trip ended up as predicted and we enjoyed it all !

This was a fantastic itinerary, capturing all the highlights of mountains, terrain and National Parks in southern Patagonia. Some hikes were challenging and shouldn’t be underestimated but were well worth the effort. The transport from Puerto Natales into Torres del Paine NP via the fiord ferry and zodiac up the Rio Serrano was a unique experience and a real bonus!

This trip is an ideal introduction to Patagonia and we enjoyed it very much. However the local agents let us down several times so they need tightening up. I will be writing a longer review for the company.

Wonderful experience overall. El Chalten is a charming little town. Perito Moreno is awesome. Four days of hiking in Los Glaciares and Torres del Paine was the highlight of my trip.

The Patagonia Adventure was a very enjoyable experience. The region had some spectacular scenery and a stunning area for a series of day hikes. We intend to return to the region and spend more time to soak up the all it has to offer. The accommodation, transportation and meals were great. The people in these regions were extremely friendly and helpful. We thank World Expeditions for introducing us to this region and look forward to another adventure with your company.

Our family (parents and 2 teens) have had a holiday of a lifetime on this trip. Everything about this trip was just amazing... seeing glaciers up close is something we won't forget. Great guides, accommodation, food and transport. You do need to be fit to get the most out of the walks. Patagonia is the most 'photo worthy' place I have been.
