Group tour Patagonia Argentina and Chile

Day 1 - Arrival Ushuaia - Martial Mt sunset Experience

Today marks the beginning of this incredible group journey—starting in none other than the End of the World, Ushuaia.

Upon arrival, a transfer will be waiting for you at Ushuaia Airport to take you to your hotel. After check-in, you’ll have the rest of the day at leisure to explore the city at your own pace.

In the afternoon, we’ll meet our fellow travelers and officially kick off this shared adventure. We’ll end the day in a truly unique way: exploring Mount Martial as daylight fades and enjoying a regional dinner surrounded by the tranquility of the forest in our mountain dome.

Our journey begins with a walk through the Fuegian forest, following trails originally created by lumberjacks over a century ago. Along the way, you’ll take in stunning views of Ushuaia Bay and the surrounding mountains. The experience culminates at our cozy Mountain Dome, where we’ll enjoy a fireside regional meal.

It’s a different way to experience the End of the World—and of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a proper toast to celebrate the beginning of this journey together!

Day 2 - Beagle Channel Boat Trip with Magallanic Penguins viewing

After breakfast, we’ll walk together to the tourist pier to begin one of the highlights of our journey: a shared navigation along the legendary Beagle Channel.

Our first stop is Alicia Island, home to a colony of South American sea lions. From there, we’ll sail to Bird Island, where we’ll observe king and imperial shags near their nests, often spotting them resting on the cliffs or flying overhead.

Continuing our journey, we’ll head toward Martillo Island, where we’ll have the chance to observe Magellanic penguins in their natural habitat—an unforgettable moment and one of the most iconic experiences in Ushuaia.

Next, we’ll navigate east toward another small island where we may spot South American fur seals. Nearby, we’ll visit Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, an iconic symbol of Ushuaia, built in 1919, along with views of the island where rock shags reside.

On our return to Ushuaia, we’ll disembark at Bridges Island for a guided nature walk. Here, we’ll learn about the native Yamana people and visit the region’s largest Yamana “concheros” (shell deposits). As we explore the island, we’ll reach its highest panoramic point, offering stunning views of the Beagle Channel and the town of Ushuaia in the distance.

Throughout the navigation, we’ll enjoy warm refreshments such as coffee with a touch of liquor, a variety of teas, delicious hot chocolate with biscuits and cookies, and of course, Argentina’s traditional mate.

After the excursion, we’ll return to the port, and you’ll have the afternoon at leisure to relax or continue exploring the city. We recommend visiting the Museo Marítimo y del Presidio de Ushuaia—the former “End of the World” prison—to learn more about the fascinating history of this remote and unique destination.

A day designed to connect with nature, wildlife, and the spirit of this journey.

After breakfast, we’ll head together to Tierra del Fuego National Park, where you’ll be immersed in one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Patagonia—a unique combination of mountains, forests, rivers, and sea.

Once inside the park, we’ll explore several trails, walking through a pristine natural environment where the Andes meet the ocean. Along the way, we’ll discover hidden corners of the park, surrounded by native forests, crystal-clear rivers, and peaceful lakes.

We’ll then arrive at Acigami Lake, where we’ll pause for lunch in a cozy dining tent, sheltered from the wind or rain—an ideal moment to relax and enjoy the surroundings as a group.

After lunch, the adventure continues. We’ll gear up with rubber boots, waterproof pants, and life jackets (all provided), and set off in stable inflatable canoes. Paddling along the calm waters of the Lapataia and Ovando rivers, we’ll witness the unique transition from freshwater to the sea as we approach Lapataia Bay.

This final stretch is truly special—a peaceful and scenic experience that perfectly captures the spirit of Tierra del Fuego, where nature feels untouched and vast.

Part of the journey includes crossing the legendary Strait of Magellan by ferry, a historic passage that separates mainland South America from Tierra del Fuego. If we’re lucky, we may even spot local wildlife along the way, such as dolphins (toninas) swimming near the boat.

Upon arrival in Punta Arenas, we’ll head to our hotel for check-in and some time to unwind after the journey.

After approximately one hour, we’ll arrive at the starting point of our trek. Here, our expert guide will provide a briefing with useful tips and insights to prepare us for the hike ahead.

Our journey begins as we cross a traditional wooden bridge suspended over the Ascencio River. From there, we’ll gradually ascend through the valley, surrounded by forests, rivers, and ever-changing views of the mountains.

As we continue, the trail becomes steeper, rewarding us with increasingly dramatic scenery. After a challenging but incredibly rewarding hike, we’ll reach one of the most iconic viewpoints in Patagonia: a glacial lake at the base of the towering granite peaks known as Torres del Paine—Monzino, d’Agostini, and Central.

Here, we’ll take a well-deserved break to rest, enjoy a picnic lunch, and fully take in this unforgettable, postcard-perfect setting.

Once we’ve recharged, we’ll begin our descent back to the starting point, closing a day filled with adventure, connection, and some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world.

Day 8 - El Calafate – Perito Moreno Glacier

Today, we dedicate our time to one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders: the Perito Moreno Glacier.

This impressive glacier descends from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, one of the largest ice masses outside the polar regions, creating a truly unique and powerful landscape.

What makes Perito Moreno especially remarkable is that it is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing. This natural movement creates a spectacular phenomenon, where massive ice walls periodically rupture and collapse into the waters below.

As we approach the glacier, we’ll walk along a network of panoramic walkways that bring us just meters away from its towering ice walls. From here, you’ll be able to fully appreciate its immense scale, deep blue tones, and ever-changing shapes.

The experience is brought to life by the sounds of nature—the deep cracks of shifting ice and the thunderous roar of ice chunks breaking off and crashing into the turquoise waters of the lake.

A truly unforgettable encounter with one of Patagonia’s most iconic landscapes.

After a couple of hours, we’ll reach our first panoramic viewpoints of the Fitz Roy massif—an inspiring moment that gives us a glimpse of what’s ahead. From there, we’ll continue toward Río Blanco, the base camp used by climbers approaching the eastern side of the mountain.

Reaching the summit rewards you with a glimpse of Paso del Viento and the peaks rising from the vast Patagonian Ice Field.
