TRAVELING TO Patagonia
Positioned at the end of the world, Patagonia sits at the southernmost end of South America, within both Argentina and Chile. This spectacular destination appeals to North American travelers seeking jagged, remote mountains, world-class hiking, and sparkling fjords and lakes. It's also a convenient add-on to your Antarctic cruise, ideal for anyone wanting to visit some of South America before or after their expedition.
Patagonia is an incredibly remote, yet desirable, destination, accommodation can book up quickly in the peak season. We highly recommend you book your travel early to avoid disappointment.
Why visit Patagonia?
Located at the southern end of South America, Patagonia is a region shared by Argentina and Chile. From snow-capped mountains to picturesque fjords, stunning lakes and impressive volcanoes, a Patagonia tour really has it all.
While adventure-seeking travelers will be able to give their hiking boots a good work out trekking or horse riding through Torres Del Paine, biking through Valdez Peninsula or skiing down the slopes of Tierra del Fuego, there is also plenty to do for the more slow-paced traveler.
Staring at the magnificent views, cruising the fjords of Chile, or visiting one of the many wineries are just some of the equally exciting but less exertive activities to be enjoyed on a tour across the dramatic, windswept settings of Patagonia.
