Arrive at Punta Arenas, the gateway to the Andes mountains and the Patagonian fjords. Meet your guides and group mates and settle into your new accommodations. Enjoy a shared meal and prepare for the adventures ahead.

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before traveling to the Island of Navarino in the Chilean Antarctic region. Facing the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego and north of Cape Horn, it is the gateway to Antarctica. Walk the streets, visit the Marina Micalvi pier, and learn about the interesting Martín Gusinde Museum.

Explore most of the major habitat types of the region: coastal coigue forests, lenga parks, ñirre forests, peat bogs, invasive beaver wetlands, and alpine heath. Learn about conservation initiatives in the last sub-Antarctic forests of the planet.

Hike to the base of the Dientes de Navarino massif, where you will enjoy an over-whelming view of the end of the world, the Beagle Channel and Puerto Williams, surrounded by nature in its greatest splendor. Learn about the native flora such as orchids and the vast amount of local wild fruits.

Enjoy a unique kayaking adventure along the Beagle Channel, navigated by canoe nomads since ancient times. Paddle past the nesting site of thousands of seagulls and several species of geese as you make your way to the confluence of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Travel by air back to the mainland and head towards your next destination; majestic Torres del Paine. Your accommodation lies at the foot of the Torres del Paine mountain range amidst a myriad of natural wonders and unbeatable views.

Spend the day exploring the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve Torres del Paine National Park and its most scenic stops. Gaze upon soaring mountains, view sparkling glacial lakes, and hike alongside glaciers. If you’re lucky, find a local guanaco amidst an unmatched backdrop.

Gallop across the pampas and through the lenga forest on this equestrian adventure across the Cerro Paine Reserve. Starting off from our stables, the trip follows the “O” Circuit around the eastern edge of the Paine Massif into the valley of the Paine river.

Experience one of the park’s most incredible viewpoints from the Blue Lagoon with its granite spires and alluring colors. Keep an eye out for guanacos, birds of prey, condors, and aquatic birds. Trek to a thundering waterfall along the Paine River.

En route to Punta Arenas, visit Estancia Fitz Roy and live the traditions of the Magellan gaucho. Witness wool baths, sheep shearing, and experience a true Chilean barbecue.

Take a boat tour across the Strait of Magellan to a nature reserve and marvel at the thousands of Magellanic penguins milling about on the pebbly terrain. Circumnavigate Marta Island to see countless sea lions in their natural habitat before saying goodbye to the jaw-dropping backdrops of southern Patagonia and your travel companions. Transfer to the airport in the afternoon for your journey home.
