Best of Patagonia

After breakfast, private city tour by private car with a local German-speaking guide. Santiago de Chile combines the characteristics of a modern metropolis with those of a city steeped in history from the colonial era. During your private sightseeing tour with a German-speaking guide in a private car in the afternoon, you will visit both the historic centre and the modern side of Santiago. In the city centre, you will see the presidential palace, formerly the national mint and
hence called "La Moneda", the historic main square or "Plaza de Armas" with the cathedral and the beautiful old post office; the "Palacio de la Real Audiencia", which today houses the National History Museum and the "Casa Colorada", the historic residence of the governor during the colonial era.

Dinner at the Demo restaurant or similar in Boragó including 3 courses and drinks package.

Off to the south of Patagonia! You start early in the morning and are driven to the airport in a private transfer. From there you will fly with Latam in economy class in around 3.5 hours down to the deep south of Chile, to Puerto Natales on the Fjord of Last Hope, Patagonia. Reception. The journey then continues by transfer through the typical Patagonian landscape, past rivers, forests and sheep farms. From the small town, the journey continues to a particularly impressive natural backdrop: the unmistakable granite towers of Patagonia in the UNESCO-protected Torres del Paine National Park. On the way there, you will see the Fjord of Last Hope and, in good weather, the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers. Monte Balmaceda is glaciated, around 2,000 metres high and is located in the Chilean region of Magellanas, Antarctica, Antarctica in Patagonia, directly on the Fjord of Last Hope (Ultima Esperanza) in the Bernado O'Higgins National Park. Look forward to an incomparable journey through the marvellous pampas landscape of Patagonia. The Torres del Paine National Park is one of the most impressive mountain landscapes in the world.

You will have plenty of time to explore the incomparable scenery of the world-famous Torres del Paine National Park in a completely personalised way with your private guide. On the panoramic drives in your own 4×4 SUV, you will discover the unique natural and animal world of Patagonia. Every now and then you can stop and hike a small or large section. Boat trips on Lago de Grey are also possible, as are excursions on horseback and walks or hikes. What you can expect on every excursion is the picturesque and seemingly boundless natural wonder of Torres del Paine with its granite mountains, turquoise-green waters and glaciers. Numerous lakes, waterfalls, the Patagonian pampas and the gigantic granite peaks of the Torres del Paine are the fascinating backdrop for the hustle and bustle of the many birds and the family life of the guanacos, the original, still wild llamas.

You go on excursions that are already included in the "All Inclusive" programme, hike along the shores of Lago Grey - but don't always believe your eyes: the icebergs don't glide through the steppe, of course, but float on the lake. Take a tour to the Salto Grande waterfall or climb the lagoon at the Torres peaks on a challenging hike. Or go off-road to observe animals and keep an eye out for the shy puma, which is at home here. Look forward to a true wonder of the world - and pack your hiking boots.

Your adventure days in Torres del Paine are filled with hikes, activities, panoramic trips, horse riding, boat trips, etc. Enjoy the excursions offered by the lodge in small groups a la carte, which are already included in the price of your holiday. Plus dedicated guides who know their way around and will be travelling with you.

The excellent, healthy cuisine at the lodge and the included drinks, including wines, round off the flavour experience perfectly.

Panoramic transfer through the Torres del Paine National Park up to the border with Argentina. Completion of entry and exit formalities and change of vehicle. Continue by private car with guide to El Calafate on the edge of the UNESCO-protected Los Glaciares National Park. Once there, you will be driven directly to your hotel. On the way you can get a first impression of the national park and its glaciers.

After breakfast, you will set off on your private excursion with a local German-speaking guide in a private vehicle. Today you will see the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the largest outlet glaciers in the huge Campo de Hielo Sur glacier area. A special feature of the Perito Moreno Glacier is its steadfastness: unlike all other glaciers in the region, this one does not retreat - one reason why the glacier is considered one of the biggest tourist attractions and is probably the most visited place in the entire national park. Walls of ice rise up to 80 metres high and huge chunks of ice calve into Lago Argentino time and again. You can hike along wooden walkways and experience ever-changing views of the mighty ice giants and get closer to the glacier than anywhere else in the world. In the afternoon, take a Safari Nautico boat trip (regular with other guests) close to the glacier along the edge. El Calafate is the ideal starting point for numerous excursions. Experience a place that epitomises the spirituality of Patagonia. It is also worth an individual visit in the evening.

Breakfast at the hotel and check-out. Transfer to the airport and flight with Aerolinas Argentinas in Premium Economy Class to Buenos Aires. Reception and private transfer to the hotel in the elegant La Recoleta district.

Here you will also have time to stroll around, enjoy a coffee or tea in one of the marvellous cafés and perhaps watch a tango couple dancing in the street. A wonderful atmosphere!
