The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.

Highlights
Santiago: Trace Chile’s history through Santiago’s neoclassical heart. At the 18th-century Metropolitan Cathedral, admire one of Santiago’s most enduring landmarks, rebuilt multiple times after earthquakes and central to Chile’s religious and civic life. Explore the 1872 Central Market, famed for its wrought-iron design and seafood heritage. End atop San Cristóbal Hill, once considered sacred by the Indigenous Mapuche people, who are native to southern Chile, and now crowned by the Virgin Mary statue overlooking the city.
Torres del Paine National Park: Take a scenic drive to Torres del Paine National Park, with plenty of scenic photo stops along the way. The park is situated in Chile’s Patagonia region and is famous for its glaciers, grasslands, imposing mountains and the three granite towers it is named after. The park is also part of UNESCO’s Biosphere Reserve System, known for its rare wildlife.
Torres del Paine National Park: Explore the rugged beauty of Torres del Paine, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve famed for its granite towers, turquoise lakes and shifting Patagonian light. Learn how glaciers carved this dramatic terrain and discover the unique flora and fauna that thrive here, from elusive pumas to flamingos wading in icy lagoons.
El Calafate: Navigate Argentino Lake past towering icebergs and glacial cliffs on a scenic cruise through a UNESCO World Heritage landscape. Visit the vast Upsala Glacier and steep-sided Spegazzini, the park’s tallest, before walking through native lenga forest at Puesto de las Vacas. Witness the ever-shifting face of Perito Moreno Glacier from the water – a rare Patagonian spectacle.
El Calafate: Take in panoramic views of Perito Moreno Glacier from a network of elevated boardwalks designed to showcase its vast scale. This 30-kilometre-long river of ice is one of the few advancing glaciers in the world. Listen for thunderous cracks as chunks of ice calve into Lake Argentino below – nature in motion.
El Calafate: Visit the Glaciarium, a cutting-edge interpretive centre dedicated to the science and history of Patagonia’s ice fields. Through interactive exhibits, films and installations, learn how glaciers form, evolve and respond to environmental change. It’s a fascinating deep dive into one of the region’s most defining natural forces.
Buenos Aires: Explore the capital’s political and cultural landmarks with your Travel Director. See Casa Rosada, where leaders including Eva Perón addressed the nation from its now-famous balcony, shaping the country’s political identity. Step inside the Metropolitan Cathedral, the former seat of Pope Francis during his time as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. In Plaza de Mayo, learn how this historic square has borne witness to Argentina’s most defining moments—from the revolution for independence to the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, who protested the disappearance of their children during the military dictatorship.
