Patagonia. Even the name conjures up images of the wild and the remote. Travel across the rolling Pampas grasslands and between the soaring cloud-capped Andes. Get to know the friendly locals and be charmed by beautiful, Swiss-style towns. Amid spectacular glacial landscapes, try a variety of outdoor activities: volcano climbing, horseriding, glacier trekking. Spot a variety of wildlife under those big Patagonian skies: whales, penguins and pumas. Hike spectacular trails in pristine wilderness. Sample wines at those Chilean vineyards, indulge in fondues in Bariloche or take tango lessons in Buenos Aires.

Please note that the 09 Dec 09 and 23 Dec 09 include a 4 day Navimag cruise from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales, and exclude Punta Arenas and Seno Ottaway Penguin Colony (ferry schedule permitting). Both these tours will arrive into Buenos Aires in the PM on the final day of the tour. Please note that the initial Patagonia itinerary may be subject to modification depending on the ferry schedule.
