The southern-most region of the country is formed by 2 provinces: Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego, together with Antarctic portion. Click here for information. 

El Calafate
At the foot of the Calafate mountain and on the shores of Lake Argentino, in the midst of snowcapped mountains. A pleasant tourist village with good hotel facilities, it is the main base to discover the attraction of the area. It has hotels from 4* to tourist class as well as comfortable estancias. El Calafate is the national capital of the Glaciers and the most important city of the area. more... 

Los Glaciares National Park
Located in the extreme southwest of Santa Cruz Province. One of the largest national parks of the country and perhaps the only truly untouched area in the southern continent. An area covered with ice, whose origins go back to the quaternary era when the last glaciating period took place. It was declared a UNESCO Monument of the World Patrimony. 

Its core is in the Andes between the 40º and 51º parallels of southern latitude, where there is a layer of eternal snow called the Continental Ice Field. This field adopts a long shape from north to south with an extension of about 350 km and a surface of 14,300 km2 approximately. 47 major glaciers descend from this ice field, 13 of which belong to the Atlantic and are called (from north to south): Marconi, Viedma, Moyano, Upsala, Bolado, Onelli, Peineta, Spegazzini, Mayo, Ameghino, Moreno and Frias. All of them flow into Lake Argentino and Lake Viedma. more... 

Perito Moreno Glacier
This is the most important and the most easily-reached glacier. It extends over the Rico inlet of Lake Argentino.  This is an imposing ice river, 3 km in width and 60 m in height, that descends slowly from the Continental Ice Field to the shore of the lake, in the Canal de los Témpanos (Icebergs Channel). It has turned into the biggest attraction of the region thanks to its spectacular beauty, its glacial interest and its different behaviour to the rest of the glaciers of the world: every 4 or 5 years, when its tongue crosses the Canal de los Tempanos and hits the Magellan Peninsula the break up occurs and the noise can sometimes be heard from El Calafate. more...  

Upsala & Onelli Glaciers
Lake Argentino reaches its biggest depth (over 1,000m) in front of Upsala Glacier, located two and a half hours by boat. It is the largest continental glacier of the southern hemisphere with 595 km2 (three times bigger than Buenos Aires city). Onelli Bay is located on the channel of the same name, in the north arm of the Lake Argentino. more...  

Torre and Fitz Roy Mountains
The legendary peaks of the Torre Mountain and the Fitz Roy Mountain stand out in the middle of the flat Patagonian steppe and attract numerous climbing expeditions from all over the world. Short lateral valleys placed before the mountain chains make the access to this exquisite scenery very difficult. A wide variety of walks can be taken in this sector. From Calafate, this area is reached through the National Route 40 that runs parallel to the Andes. After 220km the road ends at El Chalten, name the indians gave to the Fitz Roy mountain. more... 

Lago Roca & Nibepo Aike
In the Roca Lake, located in the southern area of Argentino Lake and 25 km from El Calafate. This place is reached through a typical Patagonian road, admiring rupestrian paintings and landscape. Stop at Estancia La Anita to be told about sheep-rains and wool. A change in the vegetation is gradually seen due to the increase of rains. The road ends at the Estancia Nibepo Aike, surrounded by the Andean Patagonian forest. more...  

Tierra del Fuego
Between Cape Horn and the Magellan Strait. The widespread idea of Tierra del Fuego, desolate and icy, is far from reality. This is a lively and fertile land full of flowers, plants and birds. The Argentine Antarctica, the Islands of the South Atlantic and the Falkland Islands depend on this province. It is only one of the hundreds of islands that form the archipelago that goes from the Magellan Strait to Cape Horn. more... 

Ushuaia
Known as the southernmost city of the world, Ushuaia is 3,300 km from Buenos Aires. Located in the southern area of Tierra del Fuego, by the Beagle Channel, and surrounded by the Martial Hill, which offers a unique landscape due to the combination of mountains, sea, glaciers and forests. The strange topography of the region created a very picturesque city that combines colours and depressions with the Andes in the background. From the coast to the south there is a superb view of the bay, the peninsula, the Beagle Channel and the Navarino and Hoste islands. more...  

Ushuaia offers a wide range of services and hotels category, from 4* to tourist category. We recommend 2-3 nights.

Torres del Paine National Park
Located in Chile, this is one of the main point of interest for the lovers of long walks. It is located in the Magellan region that occupies the southern extreme of the Chilean territory, whose most important cities from north to south are: Puerto Natales, Punta Arenas, Porvenir and Puerto Williams. The nearest airports are in Río Gallegos (420 km away) and in Punta Arenas (395 km away). From Argentina, it is also possible to reach this region by land through any of the  border passes by private transfers or regular buses. 

Rio Gallegos
It is the capital city of the Santa Cruz province of Chile, 2,700 km and about 4 hours by plane from Buenos Aires. Located on the banks of the river of the same name by the Atlantic Ocean, it concentrates all the commercial and administrative activities of the southern region of Patagonia that developed around the port of deep waters where the wool and coal production is exported. It is the gateway to the region of the glaciers: regular flights to Calafate, and land services in private vehicle or coach that covers the more than 300 km that separate one city from the other. more... 

Antarctica & the Southern Islands
The Archipelago of the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) is made up of two big islands: Soledad to the east and Gran Malvina to the West. Its waters are rich in fish, crustaceans and molluscs. Its coasts possess numerous penguin colonies and a wide variety of marine fauna. They are under British rule since 1833. 

A triangular sector with vertex in the South Pole, only 500 km from Tierra del Fuego, is occupied by the Argentine Antarctica. The triangle includes the Antarctic Peninsula and numerous islands and archipelagos that surround it. Numerous nations, apart from Argentina, have scientific bases in this region. The beauty of this landscape is one of the main attractions for the cruises of this area, though the direct contact with nature represents a more important factor for some travelers. more ...
