Iguazu Falls and Patagonia Hiking Tour

Start the tour in Argentina's historic and charming capital city, Buenos Aires. Upon your arrival at the airport, a driver will greet you and take you to your hotel. Don't miss out on your chance to wander the streets and take in the local sights, like the tango dancers that frequent Dorrego Square.

It's a quick flight to Puerto Iguazu, a town that borders Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, and shares the incredible natural wonder that is Iguazu Falls. In the afternoon, you'll visit the Brazilian side of the falls to walk along the river to Garganta del Diablo, the “Throat of the Devil,” with panoramic views of the ginormous waterfall.

One of the most impressive waterfalls on the planet, Iguazu Falls, has many impressive viewpoints and walking routes to explore. Today, you'll visit the Argentinian side, crossing footbridges that get up close to the endlessly rushing water and offer a different view of Garganta del Diablo. Thrill-seekers should ask about the optional excursions to navigate the falls by Zodiac.

From Puerto Iguazu's airport, you'll fly to Buenos Aires and then to El Calafate, Argentina. Perched on the stunning Lake Argentino and the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park, El Calafate is a beautiful small town and the perfect base for exploring the glaciers. Historical and archaeological sites abound in El Calafate, so feel free to explore or just relax and enjoy the lakefront.

Travelling into Los Glaciares National Park, you will visit a genuine estancia – cattle ranch – that preserves the traditional essence of the Patagonian estancias. Here, you will be able to undertake a number of different activities, including horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, or other activities relating to the workings of the ranch.

This morning, you embark on a full-day guided excursion to the most famous sight in Los Glaciares National Park, the colossal Perito Moreno Glacier. You'll stand in awe under its sheer turquoise walls of ice and watch as the seracs fall into the icy waters of Lake Argentino. Ask your guide about the option to navigate the southern part of the ice front.

It's a gorgeous hike today to the foot of Mt. Fitz Roy, an iconic peak in Los Glaciares National Park. Passing the Rio las Vueltas and Piedra Blancas Glacier, you'll arrive at the Poincenot campsite at the base of the mountain. From here, it's a one-hour climb to the foot of Fitz Roy, where you'll be rewarded with the stunning sight of the jagged stone giants reflected in the Laguna de los Tres.

A scenic bus ride on the famous Route 40 gets you to the next destination on your adventure, El Chaltén, the Argentinian trekking capital. You'll hike to Lago Torre at the base of Cerro Torre, one of El Chaltén's most popular peaks, with astonishing views of Rio Fitz Roy and impressive granite crags.

After a long day of hiking, relax at the guesthouse and swap stories with other travellers.

The bus ride that carts you across the Argentine–Chilean border gives you the chance to see the vast plains of the pampas, a seemingly endless expanse of fertile grasslands. You'll pass through the historic border towns of Cancha Carrera and Cerro Castillo and arrive in Puerto Natales in the late evening.

Today is all about exploring Torres del Paine. Thanks to its legendary scenery, Torres del Paine is one of Patagonia's most famous parks, drawing hikers and sightseers from all over the globe. A private driver will take you around the park to see remarkable sights like Laguna Amarga, the jagged peaks of the Cuernos, and Salto Grande waterfall.

Tonight, you'll get cozy in a mountain refuge and fall asleep under a billion stars.

The last hike of your trip is an unforgettable one! It's a steep climb of more than 900 metres to reach Torres del Paine's most famous viewpoint, the Mirador las Torres, at the foot of the North, Central and South towers. From this height, you can look down on the world below, with unbelievable views of vertical granite walls, snow-capped peaks, and glaciers. Afterwards, you'll transfer via bus to Puerto Natales.

After checking out from the hotel, it's time to head back home. A driver will take you to Puerto Natales Airport for your onward journey.
