Discover wild Argentina on this Patagonia journey from Ushuaia to El Calafate, Tierra del Fuego to the glaciers! Begin with three days in Ushuaia, the world’s most southerly city from where you’ll explore the windswept peninsula, looking out for birdlife including the black-chested buzzard eagle, albatross, Magellanic woodpecker, and mammals like the Red fox, beaver and rabbit. Visit a traditional Patagonian ranch – Estancia Harberton, then sail to Gable Island and Hammer Island to spot the Beagle Channel’s resident penguin colony!
Next, you’ll fly north to El Calafate to explore the glaciers, including a boat trip over the deep, glacial lake to see the 70m-high blue ice walls of the Perito Moreno glacier. Experience first-hand how nature has sculpted Argentina’s landscapes and get an insight into Patagonia’s fascinating history on this six-day journey.
