It was another excellent adventure in South America. During this trip, I was able to discover South America and learn more about Argentina and Chile, and see more unique landscapes of Argentina and Chile.
This is how the trip was broken down:
Buenos Aires
I cannot thank our guide enough for teaching me more about Argentinian history, showing me historical places and some of the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires capital, and a few neighborhoods of Buenos Aires province.
I even was on a private boat sailing on the Tigre Delta and rode subways in Buenos Aires.
Peninsula Valdés
I highly enjoyed my stay here as I got to enjoy a different part of Patagonia that is a coastal region. I enjoyed seeing the sea lions and elephant seals with my own eyes. The experience in San Lorenzo penguin colony was an experience I will never forget, seeing the penguins so close. I can’t believe I explored a small part of Chubut province, especially Puerto Madryn, the first European settlement in the Patagonia region. Our guide did a great job driving me and teaching me about the wildlife here in Peninsula Valdés.
El Chaltén
I will not forget this hike. I give credit to our guide for being patient with me and very helpful to me, as it was a challenging hike to Laguna de los Tres. Twelve hours, hiking 23km. The fact that I survived the hike and saw Laguna de los Tres is unbelievable. The drive from the airport to El Chaltén was one of the most beautiful car rides I ever had, as I saw the silhouette of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.
Bariloche
Our guides helped show me this beautiful city of lakes and the famous Nahuel Huapi National Park.
Peulla
The journey from Bariloche to Peulla was so beautiful. The difference in colors of Lake Nahuel Huapi and Lake Frías made me appreciate this beautiful journey.
Puerto Varas
To see two volcanoes from your hotel over Lago Llanquihue is a breathtaking scene itself. Our guide was excellent, teaching me the history of Puerto Varas and taking me to towns around Puerto Varas.
Santiago
My favorite part of this final section was visiting Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. I love how unique Valparaíso is. Our guide was very helpful in teaching me the history of Chile and also the current events of Chile.
Another great and memorable trip in South America.

Zicasso’s travel agent and his team planned an amazing honeymoon to Patagonia for us. We loved all the accommodations he recommended and our itinerary was full of unique experiences and thoughtful touches. We would highly recommend this travel company to anyone traveling to Chile and Argentina!

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned the honeymoon of our dreams! She seamlessly scheduled our time in Buenos Aires and Patagonia.
Our excursions included a tango show, hikes, mini-trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier, and horseback riding on an estancia. Our lodging and transportation were so convenient.
We would not have been able to plan this ideal trip without her expertise. She kept in consistent contact with us prior to and throughout our stay, and provided us with great food recommendations and travel tips. We got the full Argentine experience and we would do it all over again!

We enjoyed the trip very much. We had planned to visit every place of interest to us in Patagonia on this trip, so it was quite a complex trip to arrange. Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job overall. We had private guides and private cars for everything, so we could enjoy the experiences at our own pace and focus on the things that interested us.
We started in Buenos Aires, but our main focus was natural beauty. We spent a very interesting day and a half in the city, though. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the local history and the sites we visited. Next we went to Iguazú Falls, which was a spectacular experience. Our guide there was the only one who didn't seem as deep or as organized as all the others, but that was a minor issue. Although it is wickedly expensive, I would highly recommend that travelers stay in the one and only lodge inside the Iguazú Falls national park. We got a lot more out of our time there because we were right there at the park.
Next we went to the Lake District and spent memorable days on the water there; amazing scenery! We also saw condors during one of our day-long boat rides on the lake.
Next, we went to Calafate. Although we are not trekkers, the visits to the two main glaciers were unforgettable. The travel specialist had us in the VIP cabin for the day-long boat trip and we had a very knowledgeable guide for the visit to the Perito Moreno glacier.
We did the four-day cruise through Tierra del Fuego next, which I highly recommend, ending in Chile, where we spent two days at the Torres del Paine National Park, one by road in the park with a very knowledgeable private guide, and the second on a full-day lake tour with a marvelous lunch at a scenic ranch, with a close-up view to a glacier.
