ITINERARY IN DETAIL
Considered by many to be the most beautiful National Park in the world, Torres del Paine is famous for its immense granite peaks rising up out of the glaciers, turquoise blue lakes and virgin white ice fields contrasting with lush, green forests. Twenty-five species of mammal including the elusive puma, the ostrich-like rhea and the now protected guanacos can be found in the park, as well as over one hundred species of birds. You’ll explore all this from your base at the incredible Tierra Patagonia Hotel & Spa.
A private driver takes you from your hotel in Salta and over the border to the Atacama Desert in Chile. The Argentine border post at Paso de Jama may very well be the remote border post in the world – it certainly feels like it at 4,300m above sea level. From here you continue to San Pedro de Atacama. Travelling through the foothills of the Andes, as the altitude increases, picturesque towns and villages give way to vast wide-open spaces and jaw-dropping views.
Set off for Los Glaciares National Park with a private guide for a glimpse of the first breathtaking views of the Moreno Glacier with the imposing Andean Mountains as a backdrop. As spectacular as this first entrance may be, it pales compared to a close approach where the constant sounds of this “living” glacier shake the air. Gigantic blocks of ice frequently break away and crash into the lake, spraying hundreds of feet into the air and sounding like distant artillery fire. The startling contrast of colour, sound, motion and size creates a continuously changing mosaic of indescribable beauty.
Nothing but the best. On this suggested Chile + Argentina itinerary these are our handpicked, tried-and-tested choices.
Testimonials
cazenove+loyd are quite simply part and parcel of our most cherished travel memories... Somehow they have managed to deliver every time.
We were impressed with the efficiency and warmth of the team in both Chile and Argentina. It was a blessing to have the Chile-Argentina border crossing handled by cazenove+loyd: we made it across much faster than other travellers. All the places we stayed were great, and the guides, too.
Six of us enjoyed a very well organised trip to Argentina. We visited four locations over 12 days, so lots of logistics, but everything worked out incredibly well, thanks to cazenove+loyd. We especially loved our local guides and our 10-mile hike in stunning Patagonia on Christmas Day. Thank you, you helped us create memories to last a lifetime.
We got back from Argentina on Sunday and I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you. The trip you planned for us was wonderful! I am particularly grateful for our time at Aguas Arriba Lodge. It was such a special place. There’s really nothing that could have prepared us for the extraordinary beauty of the area or the warmth of the people. I know we had originally been concerned that we had scheduled too much time there, but it was magical and clearly the highlight of our visit to Patagonia. Whenever we’re ready for our next adventure, we know now that we can count on you to plan something that’s just right for us.
Our trip to Patagonia and Buenos Aires was spectacular. We experienced what felt like the far reaches of the Earth – the most breathtaking glaciers, peaks and waterfalls, and weather that changed in an instant, including the most powerful winds; not to mention killer views from every direction. Our accommodation was wonderful – all beautiful and quite different from one another. And everywhere we went, we were treated so well. An adventure we will not soon forget.
We had a month-long trip in Chile and Argentina. We wanted to do some things together and some separately due to different interests and physical capabilities. Karen and her colleagues listened carefully and planned a holiday, which fully met a tricky brief. All of the accommodation was wonderful and we had amazing guides. The detail which went into the planning and delivery was outstanding. Every pick-up, every transfer, the timing of the internal flights, the range and diversity of the trip – everything was excellent. We will definitely travel with cazenove+loyd again.
