The Patagonian express

After breakfast in your hotel you'll be collected by your guide for an epic trip into the world-famous Glaciers National Park.

Boarding a small yacht you'll cruise the crystal clear surface of Lago Argentino, navigating past enormous icebergs and a dazzling array of turquoise hues. Approaching Perito Moreno Glacier, you might get lucky and witness house-sized blocks calving from the vast wall of ice.

Returning to the pier you'll take a short hike along the trails and footbridges that lead to the glacier, giving you the opportunity to talk on the surface itself. Along the way your guide will explain the fascinating natural history of the region.

There is the option of doing a longer hike further onto the glacier – get in touch for more information.

Enjoy a free day exploring the town, or book onto one of several excursions in the surrounding region – get in touch now for more details.

After breakfast you'll be collected for the five hour drive across the Patagonian pampas, across the border to Chile, and finally to Torres del Paine National Park. With plenty of opportunities to stop for photos along the way, an overland drive is by far the best way to experience the vastness of Patagonia, its incredible scenery and remote, frontier-like settlements and outposts.

Spend two action-packed days exploring the stunning Torres del Paine National Park. Activities include hiking, nature/bird-watching, horseback riding, overland excursions, boating trips, and more. For a real treat, try hiking through the simply incredible landscapes up to the park's eponymous Torres (towers).

Whichever activities you choose, you'll be accompanied by a bilingual guide offering fascinating insights into the region's geology, wildlife and natural history.

After breakfast you'll be met by your private driver for the short journey to Puerto Natales, a fishing town on the shores of the Señoret Channel. The town offers striking views over the channel and boasts a diversity of excellent restaurants, bars and cafes. Upon arrival take some time to unwind, get your bearings and explore the town.

After breakfast you'll set out to explore the remote and stunningly beautiful Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers. Located inside the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, the glaciers are only accessible by boat. Setting sail from Puerto Natales you'll pass colonies of sea lions and cormorants before reaching the Balmaceda peak, whose ice-covered peak towers at 2,035 metres. After disembarking you'l take a short hike to Serrano Glacier and the ‘calving’ lake full of icebergs. Returning to the boat you'll cross to the opposite side of the lake to make the journey back to Puerto Natales, enjoying a hearty lunch en-route.

After a final breakfast in your hotel you'll be collected by your driver for the private transfer to Punta Arenas airport and your onward connection.
