Exploring National Parks
El Chaltén, Argentina
The crossing begins in El Chaltén, a mountain village located at the foot of the Mount Fitz Roy. A hiking haven, with trails through lenga forests, clear lakes and spectacular rock formations. At Christmas, fresh mountain air and snowy peaks add charm, while walks offer close contact with nature and breathtaking views.
Torres del Paine, Chile
We cross into Chile to Torres del Paine National Park, renowned for imposing beauty. Trails lead through valleys, mountains, lakes and rivers, with the iconic granite towers just one attraction. Each step offers chances to see guanacos, foxes and, with luck, Andean condors.
Visits to Iconic Places
The trip is complemented by visits to some of the most iconic places in South America:
Perito Moreno Glacier
In Los Glaciares National Park, this is one of the world’s most famous and accessible glaciers. Its imposing five-kilometre ice wall offers an unforgettable spectacle. Walkways bring you close to this giant, with a chance of witnessing ice breaking away.
Beagle Channel, Ushuaia
At the continent’s southern tip, beside Ushuaia, lies the Beagle Channel. Sailing here offers spectacular views of the Darwin Range and marine wildlife, including sea lions and many bird species. You will also visit historic Estancia Harberton and have time to walk around.
