Tailor Made Patagonia Tours & Cruises

Most travelers spend 8-12 days to explore highlights across Chilean Patagonia and Argentina Patagonia, including Torres del Paine, El Calafate, Fitz Roy, and scenic fjords. For advanced trekkers tackling the W Trek or O Trek, adding additional nights is advised. We build Patagonia tour packages around your pace, interests, and comfort level.

Neither is objectively better – the experiences differ:

Chilean Patagonia

• Torres del Paine National Park: iconic granite towers, condors, and guanacos

• Fjords, glacial lakes, and dramatic peaks

• Popular routes of the W Trek and O Trek

• Punta Arenas: major gateway hub for flights into the region

Argentina Patagonia

• El Calafate & Perito Moreno Glacier: one of the few advancing glaciers on Earth

• Fitz Roy in El Chaltén: world-class day hikes

• Puerto Madryn: penguins, orcas, and marine wildlife

• Ushuaia: southernmost city, gateway to Antarctica

We’ll recommend the ideal side based on what you want to experience – or combine both into one unforgettable Patagonia trip.

From Chile, you will likely fly into Santiago (SCL) first…

• For Torres del Paine tours, fly to Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales.

• For the Lake District, fly to Puerto Montt.

• For Chiloé Island, fly to Castro or Puerto Montt, then continue by ferry or overland.

• To reach the remote Aysén Region, fly to Balmaceda Airport (serving Coyhaique on the Carretera Austral).

From Argentina you will likely fly into Buenos Aires (EZE) first…

• For the Lake District, fly to Bariloche.

• For Los Glaciares National Park (Perito Moreno), fly to El Calafate.

• For Puerto Madryn, fly to Trelew.

• For the southernmost part of Patagonia, fly to Ushuaia.
