Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure through Patagonia's most spectacular landscapes, a natural paradise spanning Chile and Argentina. From the towering granite massifs of Torres del Paine to the majestic glaciers of El Calafate and the vibrant peaks of El Chaltén, this experience will take you exploring mountains, dreamlike lagoons, ancient forests, and native wildlife.

Our exciting journey begins with our arrival in the breathtaking region of Chilean Patagonia, in the small coastal town of Puerto Natales, the gateway to this natural paradise. From the moment we arrive, we'll be greeted by dazzling landscapes of mountains, lakes, and vast steppes. After settling into our accommodations, we'll have time to explore, relax, and meet the group and your coordinator in person. Welcome to Patagonia!
We'll head into the iconic Torres del Paine National Park for a unique and unforgettable experience. We'll tour the park's most striking highlights, including the Cuernos del Paine, the towering Torres massif, and dreamlike scenery combining mountains, lakes, and glaciers, with stops at strategic viewpoints and chances to spot local wildlife like guanacos, condors, and foxes. Difficulty level: Easy.
Get ready for an unforgettable day full of magic and connection with nature. On a 10-hour, 20 km (round-trip) trek, we'll wind through enchanting valleys and forests teeming with life, then tackle the thrilling final climb up to the Base Torres viewpoint, where you'll witness the granite towers reflected in a serene turquoise lagoon. Difficulty level: High.
We'll travel by bus from Puerto Natales to El Calafate, Argentina, crossing the border between the two countries on a roughly 5-hour transfer through landscapes of sweeping pampas, mountains, and lakes. Upon arrival, you'll have the afternoon free to explore this charming town, gateway to the Perito Moreno Glacier, before checking in at the hotel.
We'll explore the boardwalks of Los Glaciares National Park with stunning views of the Perito Moreno Glacier, taking in its towering walls of ice and the thunderous calving that sends chunks crashing into the water below. We'll return to El Calafate to rest and enjoy a local dinner. Difficulty level: Easy.
Enjoy a relaxed free morning in El Calafate to explore its streets and local shops. In the afternoon, we'll travel to El Chaltén on a roughly 3-hour transfer; this town, known as Argentina's trekking capital, will welcome us with views of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.
The iconic trek to Laguna de los Tres, one of El Chaltén's most spectacular trails: an 8-to-10-hour route through valleys and forests with a challenging final climb, rewarded by the view of the turquoise lagoon with Fitz Roy as its backdrop. Difficulty level: Medium-High.
Transfer to the El Calafate airport for a flight to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, with panoramic views of the Andes mountain range along the way. On arrival, you'll have time to start exploring this city surrounded by mountains, forests, and the Beagle Channel.
A 5-to-6-hour catamaran excursion along the Beagle Channel to Martillo Island, home to a colony of Magellanic and gentoo penguins, with sightings of sea lions, cormorants, and the iconic Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse.
A moderately challenging 3-to-4-hour trek through lenga forests, peat bogs, and crystal-clear rivers to Laguna Esmeralda, whose intensely green waters are ringed by mountains and glaciers. Free afternoon for additional activities. Difficulty level: Low.
After breakfast, we'll get ready to head home; depending on your flight time, there may be time for one last quick visit to a point of interest. We say goodbye to this incredible adventure, carrying the essence of Patagonia with us.
This excursion was an exceptional experience, from the very first moment there were incredible views. The guides knew every detail of the region and conveyed their passion for nature.
My trip with Wild & Wonder to Patagonia was an incredible experience, and besides being amazed by the landscapes, I got to know many great places and people.
I loved the trip, it was an incredible experience, unforgettable views, treks full of adventure, we ate delicious food, and a group with really good vibes came together.
Each of the places we visited offered natural landscapes of extraordinary beauty, able to move you and leave a lasting impression. Bonding with the group was another of the trip's great highlights.
It's a very beautiful route, you get to see beautiful places that are worth it, and it's also a challenging trip in which you learn a lot.
Be between 25 and 45 years old, with valid travel documentation (a passport valid for at least 6 months from your entry date into the country). We'll guide you if you need to arrange a visa.
Given the nature of our adventures — constant transfers, packing and unpacking every day — we ask you to travel light: a small backpack or personal item, plus a 10–12 kg carry-on. If you prefer to bring a larger suitcase, any extra storage or transport cost is on you.
Message us on WhatsApp using the "Reserve your spot" button and we'll walk you through the form and deposit. As soon as your spot is confirmed, we'll send you the next steps.
You reserve your spot with $100 USD, which counts toward the final package price. The remainder is split into up to 6 payments on fixed dates, and must be paid off no later than one month before the trip. Cash payments are not accepted.
You book your own flights, but you'll get guidance from your experience coordinator once you've reserved your spot, including the recommended arrival airport. If you decide to fly in before or after the group dates, any extra costs are on you.
An experience coordinator follows up with you remotely before the trip (flights, visas, prep). A W&W ambassador travels with you in person and leads the group, and expert local guides join you on tours. The rest of the group is other travelers on the same date.
Our packages are built around well-located 3- or 4-star hotels, in twin rooms (2 beds) shared with another group member. Some packages include different nights, like camping or igloos, noted in the itinerary.
