We invite you to experience, first-hand Chile & Argentina’s stunning array of landscapes. From the thriving capital Santiago, we visit the Mediterranean climes of the Central Valley and Chile’s great vineyards, before making our way to the Patagonia, a region representing nature at its most pristine state, a land of wonders at the end of the earth shared by Chile and Argentina. This is a region of startling contrasts and extreme natural beauty offering dramatic landscapes of shimmering lakes, towering volcanic mountains, glaciers and rolling hills with bountiful flora and fauna. From the famed Paine National Park along Southern Chile's coast, to the broad, semi-arid plateau along the Argentine side with the renowned Perito Moreno Glacier as the signature landmark - one of the few glaciers in the world which is still advancing, to Buenos Aires, a city more European than South American in flavor boasting bustling streets, grand avenues, old-time cafes and stylish restaurants. Extension to Iguassu and beyond is possible.
