A Tailor-Made 13-Day Patagonia Journey From the Lakes to the End of the World

Presented by Jhimy Sante, Your Local Expert

Travel from Buenos Aires into the heart of Patagonia on a customizable 13-day journey through Bariloche, El Calafate and Ushuaia. Combine the lakes and mountain scenery of northern Patagonia with Perito Moreno Glacier, Tierra del Fuego and the Beagle Channel.

The itinerary is designed with flexible choices in each Patagonia stop. Bariloche can lean toward lake navigation, forest walks, kayaking or hiking; El Calafate can combine Perito Moreno with a glacier navigation, estancia or free day; and Ushuaia can remain relaxed or add 4x4, hiking, canoeing or other locally confirmed experiences.

The trip stays customizable in pace and selected activities. Optional upgrades, seasonal operations, wildlife sightings and weather-dependent experiences are not guaranteed.

Day 5: Choose your Bariloche experience

Winter departures can substitute ski or snow activities when conditions allow. The selected base option is confirmed in the final quotation and the alternatives remain optional.

Day 6: Fly to El Calafate

Transfer to the airport and fly to El Calafate. Direct services can be seasonal, so the final routing is validated before travel. Arrive and settle into your Patagonia hotel.

Choose between a glacier navigation, a traditional estancia experience or a quiet day in El Calafate. One confirmed recommended base option is used and the principal alternatives remain optional.

Day 9: Travel to Ushuaia

Fly to Ushuaia and transfer to the hotel. Enjoy the waterfront and views over the Beagle Channel at leisure.

Day 11: Beagle Channel

Navigate the Beagle Channel to observe seabirds, sea lions and the landscapes around Ushuaia. Wildlife sightings and navigation routes depend on weather and season.

Day 12: Ushuaia at your pace

Choose a 4x4 lakes excursion, a moderate hike, a museum and gastronomy day or simply time to enjoy the world's southernmost city at a slower pace. One selected base option is used and the alternatives remain optional.

Transfer to the airport for the onward journey, generally connecting through Buenos Aires. If the same-day international connection is not operationally safe, an additional night in Buenos Aires is recommended.
