What a wonderful tour. One of my favourites, because it`s a combination of two countries, two big cities, and wonderful sceneries in Patagonia. If you love cities, and also lakes and mountains, it`s your option! Note, we can run this program in reverse, so you can start in Santiago or Buenos Aires. In Santiago, you will find a great city. There are some interesting markets. I suggest to visit Graneros del Alba. You will find good handycrafts there. If you have some free time, a wine tour would be great. Chile makes excellent wines. Once in Patagonia, you will enjoy lakes and mountains in Puerto Varas. The Lakes Crossing is a wonderful experience. You will cross the Andes Chain... by lake! Great. In Bariloche, I suggest to have lunch or dinner in a restaurant called La Familia Weiss. Excellent local meals! and buy some chocolates in Mamuschka. Final portion is the Argentina`s Capital City. Didn`t you visit Buenos Aires yet? Well, our city will surprise you! Walk Recoleta Area and enjoy the architecture. It`s not Europe, but you will find part of this continent in our city. Take a breath to lunch or dinner in Puerto Madero and walk the area. And of course, visit San Telmo Fair on sundays for some interesting handycrafts. And do not forget to visit a Tango Show! Esquina Carlos Gardel is my favourite. We offer excellent hotels in each destination. Let me suggest Fundador Blue Tree in Santiago, Cabañas del Lago in Puerto Varas, Cacique Inacayal in Bariloche and Pestana in Buenos Aires. You will find great services for good prices. Of course you have 5-star hotels if you want more, and cheaper options.

This large area is an incredible place to enjoy trekking, and other adventure activities, or just relax and watch the wonderful landscapes. The Costaustralis Hotel is a great hotel. Crossing the border, you will arrive to El Calafate, gate to the glaciers. Perito Moreno Glacier is unique! if you`re healthy, take the minitrekking to walk over the ice of the glacier. Unforgettable experience! Taste the lamb in La Tablita Restaurant! Let me suggest the Hotel Unique Luxury Patagonia and La Estepa. In each category, they offer an excellent service.

One of my favourites. Similar to our 134 tour but you can start and end in Buenos Aires. Didin`t you visit Buenos Aires yet? Well, our city will surprise you! Walk Recoleta Area and enjoy the architecture. It`s not Europe, but you will find part of this continent in our city. Take a breath to lunch or dinner in Puerto Madero and walk the area. And of course, visit San Telmo Fair on sundays for some interesting handycrafts. And do not forget to visit a Tango Show! La Ventana and Gala Tango are my favourites. We have great hotels in the city, let me suggest the Pestana Buenos Aires, good location, excellent services. Amnother excellent option is the Lennox Buenos Aires, new, boutique, excellent service. Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, beautiful city located in front of Beagle Channel. Taste the Spider-Crab served in Tia Elvira Restaurant. For chocolates, go to Laguna Negra! Lennox Ushuaia and Fueguino Hotel are excellent options in the city. In Ushuaia, you will start a wonderful experience of Australis Cruise to Cape Horn and Southern Fjords and Glaciers of Patagonia. Disembarkatin in zodiacs, and very nice views of interesting landscapes of the end of the world. Arrival is to Punta Arenas. From there, you will visit Torres del Paine National Park. This large area is an incredible place to enjoy trekking, and other adventure activities, or just relax and watch the wonderful landscapes. The Costaustralis Hotel is a great hotel. Then, you will cross the border, and arrive to El Calafate, gate to the glaciers. Perito Moreno Glacier is unique! if you`re healthy, take the minitrekking to walk over the ice of the glacier. Unforgettable experience! Taste the lamb in La Tablita Restaurant! Let me suggest the Esplendor de El Calafate. They offer an excellent service. Let me suggest the Unique Patagonia Hote and La Estepa, both are very nice options. After that, you can return to Buenos Aires, or may be stop in Bariloche to enjoy the Lakes District.

One of my favourites. Similar to our 134 tour but you can start and end in Buenos Aires. Didin`t you visit Buenos Aires yet? Well, our city will surprise you! Walk Recoleta Area and enjoy the architecture. It`s not Europe, but you will find part of this continent in our city. Take a breath to lunch or dinner in Puerto Madero and walk the area. And of course, visit San Telmo Fair on sundays for some interesting handycrafts. And do not forget to visit a Tango Show! La Ventana and Gala Tango are my favourites. We have great hotels in the city, let me suggest the Pestana Buenos Aires, good location, excellent services. Amnother excellent option is the Lennox Buenos Aires, new, boutique, excellent service. Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, beautiful city located in front of Beagle Channel. Taste the Spider-Crab served in Tia Elvira Restaurant. For chocolates, go to Laguna Negra! Lennox Ushuaia and Fueguino Hotel are excellent options in the city. In Ushuaia, you will start a wonderful experience of Australis Cruise to Cape Horn and Southern Fjords and Glaciers of Patagonia. Disembarkatin in zodiacs, and very nice views of interesting landscapes of the end of the world. Arrival is to Punta Arenas. From there, you will visit Torres del Paine National Park. This large area is an incredible place to enjoy trekking, and other adventure activities, or just relax and watch the wonderful landscapes. The Costaustralis Hotel is a great hotel. Then, you will cross the border, and arrive to El Calafate, gate to the glaciers. Perito Moreno Glacier is unique! if you`re healthy, take the minitrekking to walk over the ice of the glacier. Unforgettable experience! Taste the lamb in La Tablita Restaurant! Let me suggest hotels Unique and La Estepa. They offer an excellent service.

1013 tour - 40 NATIONAL ROUTE: from Comodoro Rivadavia to El Calafate
8-night tour visiting best destinations along 40 nat Route: Los Antiguos, Perito Moreno, Lakes Posadas, Caves of the Hands, El Chaltén, El Calafate DAY 1 - COMODORO RIVADAVIA Welcome at the airport in Comodoro Rivadavia. We leave the city of Comodoro Rivadavia, going past Caleta Olivia, we go bordering the San Matías Gulf along the coasts of the Southern Atlantic Ocean. As we move on, we go further away from the coast, travelling east to west direction to cross the wild Patagonia along the route 43. Before our final destination: Los Antiguos, we make a very important archaeological stop. We visit the José Ormaechea Petrified Forest Provincial Reserve, near Colonia Sarmiento, only 40km away. The park shelters a coniferous forest whose age is 70 million years, in the Paleozoic era. Our journey route continues up to the town called Los Antiguos, located on the southern bank of the Buenos Aires Lake, very near the boundary with Chile. DAY 2 - LOS ANTIGUOS Breakfast at hotel. We set off in the morning along a mountain path taking Route 41 towards the Roballos Pass and the Monte Zeballos, going some 180km along a mountain path, between the Cordillera de los Andes and the Buenos Aires Lake plateau. We will be able to see the second biggest lake in South America (after the Titicaca Lake): the Buenos Aires Lake, it flows into the Pacific Ocean through the Baker River. This lake is ideal for trout and salmon fishing. After midday we move on towards Los Antiguos. It is located in a wonderful valley, with a special microclimate, at the shore of Los Antiguos River and near the Buenos Aires Lake. Every year, during January, the Beer National Feast is celebrated. We can observe agricultural ventures dedicated to cultivation and production of fine fruit, such as raspberries, strawberries, morello cherries, etc. We arrive at the lookout points at the Los Antiguos and Jeinimeni Rivers - International boundary Argentine-Chilean- and the Buenos Aires Lake. DAY 3 - CAVES OF THE HANDS Breakfast in the hotel. We will go to the Cuevas de las Manos. It is one of the most important archeological places in Patagonia, as the Estancia La María in Santa Cruz. Its cave paintings are very meaningful and are 7,500 years before Christianity old. The cave has many eaves where the paintings, reflecting the nomadic people´s habits who were principally hunters, are. The best known is the negative image of the silhouette of the hands, superimposed. Old airbrushed methods have been used. Other figures are representing animals, such as the choique and the guanaco. There are typical scenes of the hunting of these animals. The human figure appears but in less proportion, with more lineal and geometric outlines, as the example of the spiral drawings. They drew with fruit, plants and animal blood. Different times of evolution are evident in the lines and geometrical drawings. We early set off from Perito Moreno to go 120km along the Patagonia Agreste (Wild Patagonia), most of these km are on Ruta 40. We start the visit to the Cave walking some 600 meters till we are near the Cave Paintings with more than 8,000 years old. After that a trekking along the canyon of the Pinturas River. We return along Bajo Caracoles to take Ruta 40 again towards El Chaltén. Transfer to estancia Los Toldos, the way is shorter, we do 60km without waking up so early. Once inside the estancia, we go 7km up to the manor, then we continue along the path some 16km more until we reach the canyon of the Pinturas River. At this moment is when the real adventure begins, when we have to descend to the Pinturas River, trekking almos 2,500 meters. Then we must descend to the other end of the canyon to reach the cave paintings. After lunch and a short rest, we take the same way to reach the vehicle and to continue along Ruta 40, travelling up to the Posadas Lake. Then we continue towards the Cordillera de
los Andes (Andean mountain range), to the west to arrive at Posadas Lake. DAY 4 - POSADAS AND PUEYRREDON LAKES Breakfast in the hotel. We start along the zone of the Posadas and Pueyrredón Lakes, enjoying a special sight of the Cerro San Lorenzo of 3,706 meters high, together with the Cordillera de los Andes. When passing the isthmus or small tongue of land of 100 meters long and 5 meters wide, that separates both lakes, we can appreciate the different colours between both lakes, the Posadas in green and the Pueyrredón in blue. It is located on a very wide glacier valley which limits the plateau of the Buenos Aires Lake from the Cerro San Lorenzo range. We walk this valley surrounded by the most beautiful lakes in the Patagonia, with pretty formations and an autochthonous fauna that inhabits the damps. We trek along the canyon of the Río Oro that is born in the Cerro San Lorenzo and flows its cold waters into the Pueyrredón Lake. We start walking at the Posadas Lake, to a western direction, towards the Pueyrredón Lake. The way crosses mounts and canyons, being able to watch guanacos, ñandúes (Patagonian ostrich) and choiques. We cross over the bridge on Río Unión, between Posadas and Pueyrredón Lakes, we observe the ecosystem of the lakes of the peninsula where ducks, flamingos, avutardas, long black neck swans and bandurrias nest. We continue to Valle del Oro, 15km away, we cross over its bridge and ascend along the path up to the river gorge, with its 150 meters in free fall. We enter the legendary ñires and lengas (beech) forests, following the path of the slopes that embrace the forest. When it is sunny, we can enjoy the Cerro San Lorenzo presence. Before dark we leave the town Irigoyen to overnight in a Patagonian estancia on the shore of the Belgrano Lake. DAY 5 - PERITO MORENO NAT PARK Breakfast in the estancia. The Perito Moreno National Park is one of the most beautiful and wild ones in all Patagonia, it keeps many secrets, carefully hidden, thanks to the fact that massive tourism does not reach those lands. Thanks to Argentinian Explorer and its exclusive program along Ruta 40, we are able to discover this natural paradise. The estancia is in middle of the Patagonian steppe, very near the colossus Cerro San Lorenzo. We can taste typical food prepared with vegetables from their own vegetable garden and greenhouse and first class meat from the estancia. We can choose between a visit to the park or horse riding or walking along the neighbouring areas. The Perito Moreno National Park is only 15km away from the estancia. The National Park Post has many different start-points to the Burmeister, the Belgrano and the Volcán Lakes. We can trek to the Sendero del Viento (Wind Path) or the Mansilla Lake. Along the Sendero del Viento we arrive to a moraine, where we have unique sights to one of the sides of the Perito Moreno National Park and the Valley of the Belgrano River on the other side, we cross the river over a bridge to return to the manor of the estancia. The trekking to the Mansilla Lake is special to those who enjoy bird watching. Another alternative is to ride on horseback along the Águila plateau, with the help of a local, enjoying fantastic sights of the park, of the Cerro San Lorenzo and of the lakes. There are farmyards made by the Tehuelches natives which are investigated by anthropologists who call them parapets. DAY 6 - EL CHALTEN Breakfast in the hotel. Today we have to go back on Ruta 40 some 440km to go to El Chaltén, the trekking national capital. We will have a free afternoon to rest or stroll around this small town located on the foot of the Fitz Roy & Torre Mounts.
DAY 7 - EL CHALTÉN Trekking to the Capri lagoon Breakfast in the hotel. The trekking to Laguna Capri offers a unique relaxing view for the eyes and it is ideal for those who do not have the time to take a whole day walking, like going to the Laguna de Los Tres or Laguna Torre. Our main objective is to arrive to the first viewpoint of the Fitz Roy Mountain. We begin from the town of El Chaltén, it is an easy trekking although the slope is pronounced for a stretch of about 2 hours, rising some 350 metres. The first part is the same as Los Tres track until we arrive at a natural rocky viewpoint where we can turn off to the south until the camping site. At the viewpoint we will have a privileged view of the Torre Mountain and its surrounding ice needles such as Poincenot, Saint Exupéry, Mermoz and Guillaumet. We stop just a few minutes before entering the Capri Camping Site in order to see the Laguna Capri. We return by the same trail to our lodgings in the town.
LOS ANTIGUOS CAVES OF HANDS
DAY 8 - EL CALAFATE- PERITO MORENO GLACIER Breakfast in the hotel. Early in the morning we make our way to the most famous glacier in the world. It was declared as a EL CALAFATE Heritage Humanity in 1981 by UNESCO and it is considered unique for many characteristics such as its continuous advance, its comfortable access to its best viewpoints and the possibility to walk over it. We arrive to Brazo Rico and enter Los Glaciares National Park. While we tour along the Rich Lake we see the huge blocks of ice drifting along and walk until we have a full panoramic view of this giant glacier. If the weather conditions are favourable, we can have the privilege of attending this unique spectacle in the argentinean Patagonia. the ice landslides from the southern falls in which huge ice floes cover the homonym channel as they are accumulated there or in the Brazo Rico. Here it is possible to get to know the glacier from different panoramic and viewpoints by walking the footbridges whilst we are informed about its history, characteristics and settings.

This is a joint project with the Municipal Secretary of Environment and Sustainability. In this center, the animals are initially put into quarantine to be evaluated and taken care of by a team of veterinaries and biologists. The duration of the tour of the center will be about 40 minutes to 1 hour. Following will be lunch, and then a visit to a native resident’s house. Guests will depart from the lodge on a boat or motorized canoe, accompanied by a bilingual guide to learn about the traditions and customs of local Amazonian natives. The duration of this tour varies according to the place visited, and during low water level seasons a boat may not be required. At high water level seasons, distant communities may be visited and the tour can last up to three hours. After visiting the native’s house some fishing may be done. Next the guests will have dinner, and then go to a Night tour in canoe. Depart lodge in paddle or motorized canoes, to appreciate the sounds of the jungle at night, with the possibility to spot small alligators (or other nightly creatures). Alligators are spotted because their eyes shine like small red lights. Once the alligator is spotted by the guide’s spotlight, he will try to catch a small alligator
with his own hands and bring it on to the canoe, and a brief explanation of their habitat follows. The alligator will then be safely released back to the river. (No harm is done to any of the animals) Duration: about 1 hour. Note: during "high water level" season (from April to August) and on full moon evenings, it might be difficult to find alligators.

From this point on both rivers form the famous Amazon River that runs all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The waters of the two rivers run together for about 12kms, side by side, without mixing.
