At the end of the world between Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego

Your adventure starts now! As soon as you leave the airport, a private driver is waiting to take you to your hotel. After dropping off your belongings, it's time to explore the Argentine capital.

Start your immersion in the emblematic neighborhood of La Boca, known for its multicolored facades and its artistic atmosphere where tango enlivens every corner. Then, head to San Telmo, one of the most authentic neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, with its cobbled streets, second-hand shops and lively market, ideal for feeling the soul of the cosmopolitan city. In the afternoon, explore a whole new side of Buenos Aires with Palermo, a veritable green lung dotted with trendy cafes, art galleries and trendy boutiques.

Finish this first day by relaxing on a lively terrace in Palermo before enjoying dinner at one of Puerto Madero's fine restaurants, facing the sparkling waters of the Río de la Plata.

This second day is an opportunity to explore Buenos Aires at your own pace and according to your desires. A visit to the Teatro Colón is a must: this masterpiece of architecture and acoustics is one of the most famous opera houses in the world. A few steps away, the Plaza de Mayo awaits you, with the majestic Casa Rosada, the seat of government, which has witnessed many historical events.

Then continue to the Recoleta district, where you can visit its famous cemetery, a real open-air museum housing the tombs of great Argentine figures, including Eva Perón. Nearby, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes exhibits masterpieces of European and Latin American art.

For a touch of originality, discover the Palacio Barolo, a fascinating building, inspired by the Divine Comedy, offering a panoramic view of the city from its summit.

Once you've enjoyed your porteño breakfast, a private transfer will take you to the airport for your flight to Ushuaia. Upon arrival in the city at the end of the world, a rental vehicle is given to you to begin your exploration in complete freedom. The snow-capped peaks plunge into the clear waters of the Beagle Channel.

Just a short walk from the port, the bustling streets are full of restaurants and shops. Take the time to stroll, soak up the local atmosphere or push the doors of the Maritime Museum, housed in a former prison, and the Museum of the End of the World, which traces the history of indigenous peoples and the first explorers.

At first light, your vehicle takes you to Tierra del Fuego National Park, a 63,000-hectare natural sanctuary where sub-Antarctic forests, winding rivers and steep valleys all the way to the Chilean border rub shoulders. As you walk along its paths, the wild immensity imposes itself, shaped by the meeting between the Andes, the ocean and the winds from the end of the world.

The discovery continues with the Harberton estancia, accessible by the national road 3. The oldest farm in Tierra del Fuego, it has ceased all activity but preserves its heritage through a museum and a cafeteria where you can take a break.

In the afternoon, embark for a fifteen-minute sail on the Beagle Channel, towards Martillo Island. Once on land, a one-hour walk on marked trails allows you to safely observe the Magellanic penguins, present in colonies between September and March. This tour is a golden opportunity to learn more about these seabirds while observing them in their natural habitat.

Departing from Ushuaia in the early morning, an English-speaking guide and a driver will take you to the interior of the island, taking the national road 3. The adventure begins on an accessible hiking trail, winding through the Lasifashaj Valley. Peat bogs, forests and rocky terrain create a typical setting for the region.

The walk continues along the Esmeralda River to the lagoon of the same name. Of glacial origin, its waters take on an emerald hue under the effect of the sediments carried by the Ojo del Albino glacier.

A break by the water allows you to appreciate the scenery while enjoying a picnic before starting the way back.

Meet your English-speaking guide and driver, who will take you to the trailhead, located northeast of the city. After a leisurely start through the Andorra Valley, you follow the Grande River before entering a native wood, rich in bogs, orchids and local fauna such as beavers and birds.

Upon arrival, the Los Tempanos Lagoon reveals a magical setting: its sparkling turquoise waters contrast with the imposing Vinciguerra Glacier in the background. You explore the surrounding snow caves, but without entering them. A well-deserved lunch break awaits you before starting the descent by the same path.

Your day begins a flight to El Calafate. Once you've handed over your rental car, you'll head north, along the famous National Road 40 for a journey that takes you to El Chaltén.

This charming village, nestled in the heart of the Glacier National Park, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the emblematic peaks of Patagonia, the Fitz Roy and the Cerro Torre. Renowned for attracting mountaineers and hikers, you can visit its lively streets, where you will find small inns, cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops.

In the morning, set off on an adventure on the trails of El Chaltén, in the heart of a raw and spectacular nature.

Whether you're riding along the Fitz Roy River to the Torre Lagoon, climbing to the foot of the towering Fitz Roy , or taking on the challenge of the summit of the Loma del Pliegue Tumbado, each route promises breathtaking vistas. Forests, glaciers, high-altitude lakes and emblematic peaks punctuate these exceptional hikes, adapted to different levels, but always unforgettable.

Take advantage of your last hours in El Chaltén to walk the more modest paths that have eluded you so far. These walks, less intense than the long hike already accomplished, nevertheless conceal visual treasures and cross natural areas that are just as sublime.

After saying goodbye to this mountainous region, head south on National Road 40, the main road that takes you to El Calafate. When you arrive in this Patagonian town, take a restful break in one of the many friendly establishments that enliven the city centre, ideal for enjoying a coffee before continuing your adventure.

In the early morning, you head to the port for a day trip on Lake Argentino. Aboard a spacious boat, you will sail through the north-east arm of the lake, discovering Escuadra Bay, the Condors Wall and the Spegazzini, Seco and Heim glaciers. You make a stopover at the Las Vacas site, where you can take a short walk.

Then, the journey resumes with panoramic views of the Upsala and Bertacchi glaciers, before passing through the Los Tempanos Channel, along the northern flank of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Lunch is served on board, as you continue sailing through these spectacular landscapes.

Start your day in the direction of Los Glaciares National Park, where you will discover the Perito Moreno Glacier. This ice giant, rising to 55 meters and stretching 15 km long and more than 5 km wide, offers an impressive spectacle. The blocks of ice regularly break away from its walls, breaking the silence with a striking crack before sinking into the icy waters of Lake Argentino. You can observe this natural wonder from less than a hundred meters away thanks to a network of perfectly located wooden walkways.

For an even more immersive experience, opt for glacier walking. Accompanied by a guide, you venture for 1h30 with crampons to explore crevasses, seracs, siphons and small lagoons.

Pack your bags and return your rental car before taking off to Buenos Aires and its hustle and bustle. Upon arrival, a private driver is waiting to escort you to your accommodation.

Treat yourself to a moment of tranquility to absorb the intense memories of your Patagonian odyssey, before immersing yourself again in the characteristic animation of this vibrant capital.

Enjoy a final Argentinian breakfast before heading to the international airport, depending on your return flight schedule. A private driver will take you there, offering the opportunity to discuss one last time the highlights of your journey.

The memories of this getaway are already anchored in your memory, until the Andean horizons call you to new destinations!
