We have in-depth knowledge of travel in entire Argentina and Chile including Patagonia. With our Latin American operational base, we can provide effective service and support.
As Patagonia is an enormous region, covering both Chile and Argentina, we offer a wide range of tours for all tastes, and to the main destinations. For ease we categorize these tours.
After Buenos Aires, the principal destination is Patagonia where vast national parks shelter some of the most stunning and extreme scenery in the continent, including the unimaginable glaciers of Perito Moreno, awesome Andean peaks, the marine paradise of Peninsula Valdes, and the end-of-the-world Tierra del Fuego. Bariloche, in the Patagonian Lake District, is a busy holiday resort with wooden alpine-style buildings, a beautiful lakeside location and great skiing.
Peninsula Valdes One of the world's most important marine reserves, in northern Patagonia. Colonies of penguins, elephant seals, sea lions, dolphins and killer whales are joined between May and December by southern right whales seeking shelter during their breeding season. Visitors can get as close as a couple of metres to a whale at this time.
Los Glaciares National Park Home to some of the most stunning scenery in South America. Perito Moreno, one of the last advancing glaciers in the world, offers an entrancing experience as massive chunks of ice calf in front of one and crash noisily into the lake. The Fitz Roy range of mountain peaks has sheer needles of rock thrusting thousands of feet into the Patagonian sky. The region is laced with lakes, hiking trails and spectacular lookout points.
The Lake District The "Switzerland of Argentina" has magnificent lakes and densely-wooded forests in a mountainous setting with a network of accessible national parks along the western Andes. Bariloche is the region's main holiday centre and starting point for the Ruta de los Siete Lagos, one of the continent’s most scenic drives, offering superb fishing en route.
Tierra del Fuego The islands at the southernmost tip of South America have long fascinated travellers. Ushuaia, marvellously situated between mountains and the sea, is the base for boat trips along the Beagle Channel and visits to historic Estancias and to nature reserves.
Mendoza Argentina’s wine center, close to the Andes and to Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the continent, offers visits to vineyards and bodegas, and some fine restaurants.
