TRIP OVERVIEW
TRIP ITINERARY
NUTS & BOLTS

Our most active hiking tour of Patagonia ventures into the heart of Torres del Paine National Park, Chile, then crosses into Argentina's Glacier National Park and the peaks of Fitzroy-Chalten. Designed as an active Patagonia vacation we are strategically based in comfortable Suite Dome Tents at Las Torres EcoCamp under the towering rock spires of Torres del Paine, and at boutique mountain lodges in Calafate and Chalten. In one of the most spectacular hiking areas in the world we amble among the mountain peaks mostly under 3,500' elevation on easy undulating trails that contour past turquoise lakes, waterfalls, hanging glaciers, and alpine meadows where guanaco roam and condors soar. Optional challenging hikes to high base camps and lookouts up to 9,000' elevation afford spectacular views of sheer rock walls and glaciers. Accompanied by professional Patagonia guides, each day of this Patagonia adventure tour in Chile and Argentina presents different hiking options, including two non-technical mini-treks on Perito Moreno and Viedma Glaciers, with lots of wildlife and photographic opportunities.

Trip Notes: Airfare cost not included (subject to change until ticketing). October & April -Shoulder Season Pricing!

DAY 1: SANTIAGO

Morning airport reception and transfer to the Hotel Plaza San Francisco. In the afternoon take a historic tour of Santiago including the Presidential Palace once the National Mint and thus called "La Moneda", the historic main square or "Plaza de Armas", the Cathedral, the National History Museum, and "Casa Colorado" the historic residence of the Governor. Continue on to Santa Lucia the hill upon which the Spanish founded Santiago in 1541. Overnight at the Santiago Park Plaza.

Lodging	Santiago Park Plaza
Description	The Santiago Park Plaza is a five star boutique hotel, in classic English style, with cutting edge technology, at the service of today’s businessman. We have introduced a concept of closeness and empathy with our guests, which has become the hallmark of our hotel.

DAY 2: PUNTA ARENAS TO LAS TORRES ECOCAMP

Transfer out for morning flight to Punta Arenas and then drive north through the vast Patagonian pampa to Puerto Natales, following the coastal route along the Straits of Magellan in Tierra del Fuego (256km/160 miles/3 hrs). After lunch in Puerto Natales, continue into Torres del Paine National Park (246 km/153 miles/ 2 hrs) stopping at the Milodon Cave where the remains of a giant prehistoric sloth were discovered. Arrive for dinner and overnight under the southern constellations at Las Torres Ecocamp in Torres del Paine Natioanal Park. [BLD]

Lodging	Las Torres Ecocamp
Description	Las Torres EcoCamp is a deluxe camp of a kind never seen before in Chile. Similar in design to the well-known permanent tented camps in Africa, the Las Torres EcoCamp is set up at the beginning of the season in September and dismantled in May.

DAYS 3-5: TORRES DEL PAINE AT LAS TORRES ECOCAMP

Explorations in and around the park vary according to the day of the week and interests and abilities of our travelers in collaboration with guides. Each day there is an easy excursion by car with walking and light hiking, and a second option that is designed for more active hikers. Most excursions are full day although some are half-day allowing for exploration and relaxed time in the vicinity of the camp. Easy outings include a drive to Laguna Azul Lake with a warmer microclimate and walk among ancient beech forests with opportunities for spotting diverse bird life, particularly the Magellanic Woodpecker. Another walk over flat terrain across the "Ruta de la Fauna" at Lake Sarmiento affords easy observation of guanacos and the panoramic views of the Paine massif especially the Cuernos, or Horns of Paine. More challenging all day hikes include an ascent to the base of the Torres del Paine massif, and another is crossing Lake Pehoe by boat and hiking the French Valley into the heart of the Park. Return each day for dinner and overnight at Las Torres Eco Camp. [BLD]

DAY 6: EL CALAFATE, ARGENTINA

Transfer in a semi-private vehicle via Puerto Natales across to pampas and the border of Argentina to El Calafate. This mountain town is the base for Argentina adventure tours of the Patagonian Continental Ice Cap and Los Glaciares National Park. The ice field runs 560 miles from north to south and is the origin of 47 major glaciers, including the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. Overnight at Hosteria Alta Vista, part of a historical sheep ranch, Estancia Anita. Tamera and her family give you a warm welcome and introduction to rural ranch life in Patagonia. [BLD]

Lodging	Hosteria Alta Vista
Description	Located between Los Glaciares National Park and El Calafate, the Hosteria Alta Vista is part of the Estancia Anita, the largest sheep farm in the area (165,000 acres).

DAY 7: PERITO MORENO GLACIER MINI-TREK

Drive to a spectacular lookout of Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. Permanently advancing along its 3-mile-front, columns of ice over 20 stories high peel off the face and crash into Lago Argentino creating massive icebergs. We cross Lago Argentino by catamaran along the front wall of the glacier to the edge of the Patagonian Ice Cap. Watch and listen as the glacier calves enormous shards of ice into the lake. We disembark, walk through the beech forest for a safety briefing before strapping on crampons and hiking up onto the ice pack! Watch for Andean condor and Buff-necked Ibis. This is an easy, non-technical walk on the glacier. Overnight at the Hosteria Alta Vista. [BLD]

Note: The Moreno glacier walk is a local group excursion of up to 20 persons operated by a local park concession. Ask about our Big Ice Exploration, an alternative, longer, 3-hour hike with a smaller group that ventures deeper into the depths of the glacier!

DAY 8: EL CHALTEN-FITZROY

Journey across the steppe to El Chalten, an outpost in the far reaches of Los Galciares National Park. The frontier town is surrounded by some of the most imposing peaks in the Patagonian Andes, Cerro Fitzroy and Cerro Torre. Overnight at Hostera el Pilar. [B]

Lodging

Hostera el Pilar

Description

Hostería El Pilar is located in the Valle del Río de las Vueltas 17 km from El Chaltén (Province of Santa Cruz) where the Río Eléctrico flows into the Río de las Vueltas. It is a privileged place since it is far from the most frequently visited attractions of the area and a starting point for many paths. It possesses a very special magic since it is surrounded by the Andean-Patagonian forest.

DAYS 9-10: EL CHALTEN-FITZROY HIKING

Our guide will meet you at the hosteria in the morning to plan the days activities adapted to your interests and abilities. Boxed lunch will be provided on this day. A popular trail takes you to Laguna Torre, continuing to the base camp for climbers of Cerro Torre. A fairly easy and level walk takes you through beautiful beech forests along Rio Fitzroy until a final push up steep glacial moraine reaches the lake. Whichever Fitzroy hike you take, enjoy breathtaking views of the principal peaks of the Fitzroy Range.

Enjoy your second full day in El Chalten unguided, free to explore more of the park's many trails or venture into town. Overnight at Hostera el Pilar. [B]

                                        Explorations in and around the park vary according to the day of the week and interests and abilities of our travelers in collaboration with guides. Each day there is an easy excursion by car with walking and light hiking, and a second option that is designed for more active hikers. Most excursions are full day although some are half-day allowing for exploration and relaxed time in the vicinity of the camp. Easy outings include a drive to Laguna Azul Lake with a warmer microclimate and walk among ancient beech forests with opportunities for spotting diverse bird life, particularly the Magellanic Woodpecker. Another walk over flat terrain across the "Ruta de la Fauna" at Lake Sarmiento affords easy observation of guanacos and the panoramic views of the Paine massif especially the Cuernos, or Horns of Paine. More challenging all day hikes include an ascent to the base of the Torres del Paine massif, and another is crossing Lake Pehoe by boat and hiking the French Valley into the heart of the Park. Return each day for dinner and overnight at Las Torres Eco Camp. [BLD]

                                        Drive to a spectacular lookout of Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. Permanently advancing along its 3-mile-front, columns of ice over 20 stories high peel off the face and crash into Lago Argentino creating massive icebergs. We cross Lago Argentino by catamaran along the front wall of the glacier to the edge of the Patagonian Ice Cap.  Watch and listen as the glacier calves enormous shards of ice into the lake. We disembark, walk through the beech forest for a safety briefing before strapping on crampons and hiking up onto the ice pack! Watch for Andean condor and Buff-necked Ibis. This is an easy, non-technical walk on the glacier. Overnight at the Hosteria Alta Vista. [BLD]<div><br></div><div>Note: The Moreno glacier walk is a local group excursion of up to 20 persons operated by a local park concession. Ask about our Big Ice Exploration, an alternative, longer, 3-hour hike with a smaller group that ventures deeper into the depths of the glacier!</div>

                                        Enjoy the day exploring Buenos Aires on our Four Balconies of Buenos Aires half-day city tour. A local guide uses four parks and plazas to introduce you to the city, its history, its style, and the peculiar psychology of Porteo residents. You visit historical sites such as the Barrio Norte with its splendid old homes; San Telmo where the artist and musicians live and work; La Boca, a neighborhood of brightly painted Italian family homes and restaurants; and the Avenida 9 de Julio with its towering obelisk as much a symbol to Buenos Aires as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. Your hotel room is available for day-use until your transfer to the international airport in time for your evening departure. [B]
