Chile – Patagonia & Tierra del Fuego – Feb22 – March 8, 2023

PatagoniaThis trip is one not to miss: we design the tour during the summer season in the austral. Fly to Punta Arenas from Santiago, Chile to enjoy the port city on the Magellan straits where penguins and pelicans dive and dart on the piers. Then transfer by van across the barren landscape to the dramatic Torres del Paine National Park. Stay in yurts designed for comfort at Patagonia Park on the outskirts of the park on a lake with mountain views in all directions. Day tours will be arranged to fascinating sites: waterfalls, puma hideouts, condor cliffs and bird watching trails in this remote part of the world.

Next we travel to the newly established Patagonia Park in Chile. Thanks to a gift from Kris and Doug Tomkins to the Chilean government, thousands of hectares are newly protected. The  park system of Chile includes the enormous, land-locked Lake Cochrane. Our travels cross the expansive savannah landscape populated by guanacos and rheas up to the mountains that feature newly created glacial moraines.
