Detailed Description

Argentina and Chile offer excitement and relaxation, exploration and discovery during your 12-day excursion from Buenos Aires to Santiago, by way of Patagonia. The unparalleled thrills begin with your arrival in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Your private transfer greets you at Ministro Pistarini International Airport and escorts you to a gorgeous hotel in the heart of the city’s eclectic and elegant neighborhoods. The following morning, your guide greets you in the hotel lobby, eager to escort you on an in-depth tour of the diverse neighborhoods of the city offering a variety of ambiance and culture. In the afternoon, you meet your private instructor for an adventure into the history of dance in Buenos Aires embodied in the moves of tango.

Your private transfer escorts you from the hotel to the airport for your flight to El Calafate in Patagonia. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy the charm of the town and the beauty of the landscape along the shores of Lake Argentino. Then, you take a ferry with your guide across the waters of Lake Argentino to view the ice walls of Perito Moreno Glacier. Enjoy an ice walk along the vast, undulating glacial body to view the details of the surface. Follow the trails around Los Glaciares National Park before returning to El Calafate.

Your private transfer meets you at the hotel the next day and leads you on an exciting, scenic adventure through Argentina’s Patagonia to cross the border into Chile. Travel over the Andes to see snowcapped peaks and reflective lakes before reaching the comforts of your secluded alpine resort in Torres del Paine National Park. Bask in the majesty of the untouched landscape the next three days. Follow the trails through the national park at your leisure to discover lookouts to iridescent glacial lakes or wander through beech forests. Venture to the base of the Paine Towers or horseback ride along the banks of Las Chinas River.

Your private transfer escorts you to Punta Arenas for your flight to Santiago. Continue to a luxury vineyard and manor located in the Rosario Valley for a sense of seclusion and comfort among lush vines. Mount a bike for a cycling tour of neighboring Casablanca Valley. The adventure leads you to a variety of boutique vineyards and celebrated wineries that brought the region to the forefront of world-renowned wines. Then, you wander along the elegant streets and historical museums of Viña del Mar and the hillside homes of Valparaiso overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Your private transfer greets you at the hotel on the final day and escorts you to Santiago, the capital of Chile. Take the time to explore the monuments and daily life of the artistic city before you reach Comodoro Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport for your flight home.
