Patagonia Adventure - 16 Days
This independent tour combines a visit to the vital South American capital of Buenos Aires and Patagonia in all its different angles on the rough end of the continent.
Puerto Madryn is the head of the Atlantic Patagonia, and its treasures have to be found in the ocean. From here the trip crosses the Patagonian steppe to arrive in El Calafate, the area of the great glaciers, lakes and forests. Here you can also visit one of the most spectacular national parks in Chile - Torres del Paine. Finally, one last bus journey over the steppe and into Tierra del Fuego island, the seat of Ushuaia, the city in the end of the world. This is an adventure you won`t forget!
Arrival to Buenos Aires. Private transfer from Ezeiza International Airport. Check in at selected accommodation.
Enjoy Palermo, an area that combines its architecture and history with entertainment and amusement in its green spaces. Finally, La Recoleta, an exclusive and elegant neighborhood where the famous cemetery is found.
Alternative at no extra cost: Buenos Aires Bike Tour. If you want a more active tour to discover the corners of Buenos Aires with a small group and pedal your way along the city streets, the bike tour is your choice.
Important: Make your choice (either Buenos Aires City Tour OR Buenos Aires Bike Tour) when booking because if you wait until last minute you might not have the spaces for a change.
Breakfast. The day is free for you to enjoy the city. In the evening at 20:00 you're picked up from your accommodation for a tango show including dinner. In the very heart of Puerto Madero, the newest neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, this show represents the best of the Porteño culture. A tango show is a trip to older and passionate times. Professional artists will show you their best art, singing songs and dancing typical pieces. The show consists of several parts in which you can appreciate a live tango orchestra, dancers and singers. Includes return transfers, a welcome drink, dinner (starter, main course and dessert), wine or soft drinks and of course, a beautiful tango show.
Breakfast and check-out at 11:00. Make your own way to Retiro bus station to catch the night bus to Puerto Madryn.
Upon arrival in Puerto Madryn, find your own way from the bus station to your accommodation. The afternoon is free for you to spend as you like.
Continuing on the gravel road, our next stops include Caleta Valdés, Punta Cantor and Punta Norte to observe marine elephants, penguins and marine lions (all stops subject to season, weather and tides). If blessed with good luck, the Orcinus or ill-named killer whales can be observed from the seaside at Punta Norte. The best months to see them are March and April, and also September in Caleta Valdés (with a bit less frequency). After a big day rewarding marine life observations, we head back to Puerto Madryn and drop you off at your accommodation.
Be ready for a 07:30 start to visit the most important 'pingüinera' or penguin colony (where hundreds of thousands of penguins lay their eggs on the beach) on the Latin American continent. Punta Tombo serves as a habitat of the Magallanes penguin. Here you can also observe how the sea gulls, skuas, petrels, cormorants, oystercatchers and steam ducks cohabit on the coast.
Due to a big extension area, you will also observe species like guanacos (typical American camaelidae), choiques (small ostrichs), maras (big patagonian hares) and foxes that are characteristic of the steppe. You will visit the small town of Gaiman to admire its culture brought hundreds of years ago from Wales and the very particular architecture, also to taste a delicious piece of cake at a Welsh tea house (optional).
Breakfast and check-out. Spend the day as you like, and in the evening make your own way to the bus station to catch the night bus to Rio Gallegos.
The bus arrives in Rio Gallegos early in the morning, where you will change to a connecting bus to El Calafate. Arrival in El Calafate at 16:00 or 18:00. Make your own way to your accommodation.
Enjoy an early breakfast and get ready to be picked up for a full day tour to Perito Moreno Glacier. People from all over the world come to this remote place in Southern Patagonia to be a witness of the Ice Age. This is one of the few moving glaciers on our planet, and a visit is not only worth it, but a MUST. You start from El Calafate early in the morning to enjoy the landscape, nature, fauna and the wide variety of birds (trying to arrive at the glacier before everyone else). Through the gateways you visit the north face of the Perito Moreno Glacier in different viewpoints and altitudes. The Perito Moreno Glacier has the size of the Buenos Aires city and is between 40 and 50 meters high. Due to the falling angle, it receives more ice than the ice that melts, so it advances, grows and breaks every now and then. Quite a unique thing to witness! Back to your accommodation around 16-17:00.
This full day tour to Torres del Paine starts from El Calafate with pick-ups early in the morning at about 06:00. You will reach the border between Argentina and Chile at around 10:00, and go through the border control procedures. You will make a stop in the town of Cerro Castillo as well as Lago Sarmiento for you to enjoy the amazing landscape. On arrival at Laguna Amarga, you're required to pay the entrance fee to Torres del Paine National Park (not included in the tour price). From Nordenskjol Lake we are able to admire the imposing sight of Cuernos del Paine. Once you arrive to Pudeto you visit the Salto Grande waterfall where you do a light trek to get more involved with nature. At 17:00, you will leave the National Park and make 3 new stops at selected viewpoints where you can appreciate the Paine Range in its glory. You arrive to Cerro Castillo at 18:00 and come back to El Calafate. Long tour but worth a visit! You will be picked up and dropped off from your accommodation.
Free day to enjoy El Calafate. Choose from a great variety of optional activities or try one of the self-guided treks in El Chalten.
Check out 02:00 and make your own way to the bus station to catch a 3 am night bus to Rio Gallegos that connects with another bus to Ushuaia between 08:30-09:00. Upon arrival in Ushuaia late in the evening find your own way to your accommodation.
Tierra del Fuego is the only Argentine national park that combines sea, mountains and forests. This half day tour starts with pick-ups around 09:00 and takes you to the end of all Argentine routes passing by splendid local flora and fauna. On one side snow-capped mountains, and on the other, the Beagle Channel. This national park is small if you compare it with other Patagonian parks, but it preserves many miles of fragile Andean Patagonian forests. A very young ecosystem (only 8 to 10 thousand years old) that grew after the region was covered by ice of last ice age. Take the chance to walk around the local trees, along the pebble beaches of green and transparent waters and see if you can discover orange llaollaos or small local strawberries. Back in Ushuaia at around 14:00.
