Patagonia + Antarctica: The Ultimate End of the World Adventure
Discover the wonders of Patagonia and Antarctica on this combination voyage. In Patagonia, you’ll visit the world-renowned Torres del Paine National Park, where steep mountains meet turquoise waters. After the first half of this trip, head even further south and watch whales from the balcony of your South Pole-bound ship as it navigates ice-choked waters. Upon arrival, your days will be filled with kayak outings and snowshoeing alongside penguins.
PLAN YOUR ADVENTURE
Exploring Chile’s Epic Extremes
This trip allows travelers to discover Chile from top to bottom. Beginning in the Atacama Desert, an area known for its hot springs, giant cacti, solar eclipses, and exceptional stargazing, you can enjoy hikes and horseback rides through sand dunes and crystallized salt creeks—and perhaps even spot a Chilean flamingo. Once you head to Patagonia, the landscape shifts from hues of red and orange to hues of blue and green. Plan to trek through alpine tundra, kayak massive lakes, and perhaps spot pumas.
Traverse Southern Chilean Dreamscapes
This itinerary includes the two biggest highlights of Southern Chile: the tranquil Lakes District surrounded by volcanoes and lush forests, and Torres del Paine National Park, full of glaciers, granite massifs, and grassy steppes speckled with llama and the imposing shadows of condors. At the end of the day, wind down with wine from the western Andes and cheese from sheep that have been herded by gauchos.
Combine Iconic Adventures in Chile and Argentina
Grand cities, astounding national parks, cerulean glaciers, jagged peaks, coastal lagoons, rainforests, Iguazú’s thundering falls, vineyards, and an oasis in the world's driest landscape await.
