Patagonia Explorer
Peninsula Valdes is the finest wildlife reserve
in South America. You'll see a large penguin
colony, elephant seals and sea lions plus
- in season (Oct/Nov and sometimes Dec)
& the mighty southern right whales which
come here to give birth.
Days 1-14 As main itinerary. 15 Fly to
Trelew. 16 Visit wildlife sanctuary; optional
whale watching. 17 Penguin colony
(optional); fly to Buenos Aires. 18-20 Free
in Buenos Aires; fly to London.
Crossing back into Argentina you'll marvel at the sheer scale (nine
miles wide) of the Perito Moreno Glacier as it presents a sheer wall
of advancing ice. Further north El Chalten provides the perfect base
for fantastic walks amongst the jagged peaks of the Fitzroy Massif's
rugged wilderness. You could also opt to trek on a glacier or take to
the hills on horseback & gaucho style.
After stopping in Buenos Aires with its evocative tango you head
to the end of the earth. At Ushuaia in the Tierra Del Fuego you'll
find yourself overlooking the Beagle Channel and some breathtaking
Patagonian scenery. Next you'll have three days of hikes in
the stunningly beautiful Torres del Paine National Park famed for
soaring pinnacles, iceberg filled lakes and sweeping wilderness
vistas. Walking in such a pristine environment is an inspiring
untold joy!
