Arrival at Ezeiza International Airport. Our staff will be waiting to assist you and transfer you to the hotel.

Day 2:
Buenos Aires
Breakfast. Personalized excursion through the city of Buenos Aires (5 hours), where you can learn part of our history and enjoy the architectural legacy left by our ancestors, such as: Plaza de Mayo, the typical La Boca neighborhood, once the city's natural harbor, where a thriving and growing Italian community, mainly of Genoese origin, began to settle at the end of the 19th century; “Caminito,” a street declared a museum, with its colorful houses; arriving at San Telmo, the oldest part of the city, and almost without realizing it, passing into Puerto Madero, the youngest neighborhood filled with international cuisine restaurants. Continuing the route, you reach Recoleta, for several decades the most prestigious neighborhood, characterized by old buildings that summarize European architecture from the past century, and by its lively atmosphere from the locals and tourists strolling its glamorous streets. The tour ends in Palermo, highly valued for its green spaces that form the lungs of Buenos Aires. Afterward, you can either stay at the last point of the visit or return to the hotel.
(The order of this tour may vary.)

Day 7:
Ushuaia
Breakfast. In the morning, excursion to Tierra del Fuego National Park.
Option B: Tierra Turismo (Available year-round).
The first stop is the End of the World Train Station, the southernmost working railway in the world. This picturesque train, which looks like a toy, connects the station with the National Park, making a stop at La Macarena Waterfall, a natural viewpoint with spectacular views. (The train ride is optional; those who do not take the train will wait to continue the excursion).
Then, we visit various panoramic points of the park, some inaccessible by other means of transportation. We visit Acigami Lake, with crystal-clear waters surrounded by mountains, and the famous Lapataia Bay, where you can observe beaver dams, peat bogs, and varied birdlife.
Unlike other national parks in the country, here we have a combination of maritime coast, forest, lakes, rivers, and mountains in a single landscape. Its extension encompasses the biological richness of Tierra del Fuego Island, offering a perfect synthesis of its natural environment.
We finish the excursion by returning to Ushuaia with enough time to combine the day with an afternoon navigation through the Beagle Channel.

Note: From October 1 to May 30, you can choose Option A as a seasonal alternative and Option C from October to March.

In the afternoon, take a navigation through the Beagle Channel to the Island of Sea Lions and Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (known as the Lighthouse of the End of the World). This excursion begins at the local tourist dock, from where we sail through the wide Ushuaia Bay to reach the Beagle Channel. We then sail around Bird Island: where you can observe Fuegian birdlife, such as skuas, black-browed albatrosses, vapor ducks, cauquenes, cooker gulls, and gray gulls, and Sea Lion Island: home to both single and double-haired sea lions. Upon arriving at Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (The Illuminators), you can see colonies of imperial cormorants and rock cormorants. During the journey, the guide will not only refer to the characteristics of each species observed and the geography of the area but will also explain the historical significance of this maritime passage in the emergence of the city. The return trip offers stunning views of the mountain range surrounding Ushuaia and the splendid nature that surrounds it. It is a journey of great historical and scenic value. Return to the hotel. (No transfer included.)

The journey will connect us in a unique way with the most remote landscapes of Tierra del Fuego Island. Traveling along dirt paths and crossing streams, we will reach the imposing coast of Fagnano Lake, where we can take a moment to contemplate this extraordinary place and its particular energy. From there, the vehicles will begin to navigate difficult paths offering unmatched views. Next, we reach the Hidden Lake, where a mountain refuge is located. Along the shore, we will observe the beaver community, their constructions, and dams, creating a habitat to house their families. In this wonderful setting, we will enjoy an authentic Argentine barbecue, paired with Malbec wine, and the opportunity to relax, chat, and recharge. Return to the hotel.

A shared full-day excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier walkways, including the “Safari Náutico” navigation. Departure from the hotel to travel 80 km to reach the entrance of Los Glaciares National Park, declared a UNESCO Natural Heritage site as it preserves a vast area of the continental ice field from which glaciers like Moreno, Onelli, Agassi, and Upsala descend. The most amazing is the Perito Moreno Glacier, which extends over the waters of Lake Argentino, with a 5-kilometer-wide wall and 70 meters high above the water level, with colors ranging from immaculate white to turquoise. The Panoramic Point marks the start of a descending walk along the walkways facing the glacier. From there, you will enjoy the vastness of the landscape and hear the sounds of constant ice calving. The excursion continues with the "SAFARI NÁUTICO," a one-hour navigation along the Rico arm of Lake Argentino, offering a chance to "experience" the glacier up close. Once in front of the glacier wall, the boat stops for a few minutes to admire its magnitude and beauty. Return to the hotel.

The Patagonian Ice Field is, after Antarctica, the largest ice sheet on the planet. This excursion explores some of the most remarkable places in this Patagonian landscape, navigating with the highest comfort and offering gourmet cuisine designed for a memorable experience. After embarking at the La Soledad Private Dock (60 km from El Calafate), the navigation heads towards the glaciers of the National Park. We disembark at Puesto de Las Vacas for an interesting walk where you will learn about its discovery and characteristics. The journey continues by navigating the Upsala and Perito Moreno Glacier channels. Lunch is served on board, including a lamb sandwich, side dishes, dessert, and non-alcoholic drinks.

This excursion will show you one of the most beautiful areas of the Nahuel Huapi National Park: you will visit forests, lakes, beaches, mountains, and waterfalls, and you will be able to see the highest peak in the area, Cerro Tronador, at 3,478 meters above sea level, a natural border between Argentina and Chile. In addition to the imposing landscape, you will witness rare natural phenomena such as the Ventisquero Negro, a glacier whose origin is the immaculate white summit of Tronador. Here, the Manso River, a typical mountain watercourse, zigzags down from the highest point of the mountain, forming rapids and waterfalls. Return to the hotel.

After the navigation, we visit important points in the city of Tigre, including Paseo Victorica, the Naval Museum, and the Tigre Art Museum, an elegant building from the late 19th century.
