Patagonia
At the ends of the earth, you’ll find a wilderness of ice and rock that for centuries has been synonymous with adventure. Come and explore Patagonia’s staggeringly beautiful mountainscapes, observe its resilient wildlife and be dwarfed by the scale of its glaciers and ice fields... South America doesn’t get any more epic.
Where: the far south of South America. Patagonian territory is split between
Argentina and
Chile, with the main attractions quite evenly divided between the two.
Best time to go: October to April.
How to get there: Flights to several Patagonian destinations depart from the hubs of Santiago and Buenos Aires, while straightforward, scenic land crossings connect key attractions on either side of the Argentinean/Chilean border.
Combines well with: Other highlights of Argentina and Chile, particularly the capitals and wine lands.
Where to stay: Popular bases for trekking and exploration include Bariloche, El Calafate, El Chaltén, Puerto Natales, and the world’s most southerly city, Ushuaia.
Length of stay: A tour of Patagonia demands at least a week – and there’s plenty to keep you here for much longer. You’ll need at least 3 weeks to explore Argentina and Chile in depth.
