Southernmost Jewels of Patagonia: Ushuaia and Paine Towers
A group tour through the incredible landscapes of Patagonia
7 Days 6 Nights
Join this 7-day group tour that will take you on an immersive journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Southern Patagonia in Argentina and Chile: the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia—known as the 'End of the World'—and the incredible Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, with its spectacular peaks and lakes.
A journey you will remember forever.
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.

Day 3 - Tierra del Fuego National Park with Trekking and Canoes
We have an incredible day ahead as we continue this shared journey at the End of the World.
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.
A day full of connection, adventure, and unforgettable landscapes—shared together at the southernmost edge of the world.

Today will be a longer travel day, as we make our way across Patagonia and complete the border crossing—an experience in itself as the landscapes gradually change along the route.
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.
In the evening, we’ll gather for an included dinner—a perfect way to relax after the journey, share stories from the day, and continue bonding as a group.

In the afternoon, we’ll transfer to Puerto Natales, the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park. The journey takes us through the vast Patagonian steppe, with its endless horizons and ever-changing light.
Upon arrival, we’ll check in at our hotel and have the rest of the evening at leisure. Puerto Natales is a charming and relaxed town, known for its scenic waterfront, cozy atmosphere, and as the starting point for adventures into one of the most iconic national parks in the world.

Day 6 - Trek in Torres del Paine
Today, we explore the jewel of Chilean Patagonia and one of the highlights of this shared adventure: Torres del Paine National Park.
After an early breakfast, we’ll set off toward the park, driving through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the region. 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.
Then we go back to our accommodation in Puerto Natales.
