  Perito Moreno Glacier with Safari Nautico Boat Trip

  Today is all about one of the world’s most breathtaking natural wonders: the Perito Moreno Glacier. This incredible ice giant flows from the Patagonian Ice Field — the third-largest ice mass on the planet after Antarctica and Greenland — and stretches over an area of 22,000 square kilometers. Thanks to unique local conditions, Perito Moreno is one of the few glaciers in the world that’s still advancing — and the only one that regularly performs its famous natural show: a dramatic cycle of closure and rupture. The road takes us right to the glacier’s face, just a few meters away. From there, we’ll take in the roars and rumbles of ice crashing into the water, the spectacular collapse of ice towers, and the ever-changing hues of this icy colossus. It’s a sight — and sound — you won’t forget. Later, we’ll head to Bajo de las Sombras, where we board a catamaran and sail across Lago Rico, getting even closer to the massive ice wall and floating icebergs from a whole new perspective. After a day filled with awe and wonder, we return to our accommodation in El Calafate to relax and relive the magic. Lodging in El Calafate - Double or Single Base Meals: Breakfast

  Torres del Paine National Park & Milodon Cave

  We start early in the morning from Puerto Natales and embark on an unforgettable adventure toward Torres del Paine National Park, located about 90 minutes away. The drive itself is a treat — we travel across the sweeping Patagonian steppe, keeping our eyes open for native wildlife like guanacos, rheas, foxes, and with a bit of luck, even condors gliding overhead. Upon arrival, we enter one of the most iconic and untouched protected areas in the world: Torres del Paine, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve celebrated for its breathtaking beauty and ecological importance. Throughout the day, we’ll explore the park’s most stunning highlights. We'll stop at panoramic viewpoints to snap incredible photos of Lake Nordenskjöld, with its turquoise waters and dramatic mountain backdrop. We’ll also witness the force of Salto Grande, a roaring waterfall connecting the Nordenskjöld and Pehoé Lakes. One of the day’s most unforgettable moments will be the view of the Cuernos del Paine (the “Horns of Paine”) — surreal, jagged peaks that make this landscape feel like another world. Later on, we’ll continue to the Grey Lake viewpoint, where the distant Grey Glacier and floating icebergs create a hauntingly beautiful scene — a powerful reminder of the forces of nature that shaped Patagonia. As the sun begins to set behind the peaks, we head back to Puerto Natales, arriving in the evening with our hearts full of wonder and our cameras full of unforgettable memories. 📍 If you’d like to experience the full-day tour that includes the famous hike to the Las Torres viewpoint, just let us know in advance so we can arrange it for you!
