What to do in Argentine Patagonia

You will be pick up by your hotel and transferred through the famous route 40 to go to Luz Divina, where we start our adventure. After putting on all the special gear we start to row through the Río La Leona. The total length to row is 14 km. At half of the way we stop and left the kayaks to trek around 2 hours on Mountain Los Hornos. During the trek, we observe fossils and parts of an old forest petrified. After having lunch we go back to the kayaks and row the rest of the trip to Turbio stream, where we end the adventure.

This picturesque trail is a 2.1km loop, offering you a moderately challenging hike along the Lapataia River and taking you to the photogenic Acigami Lake.

The coastal path at Ensenada Bay stretches for around the bay with panoramic views across Beagle Channel to the majestic mountains of Chile beyond.

Walk along the coastal path or take a hike at nearby Acigami Lake for a change of scenery. For those looking for a different adventure to enrich their experience at Tierra del Fuego National Park, take to the waters and admire the spectacular scenery from a kayak in Lapataia River.

Cerro Frías offers a captivating half-day tour, showcasing panoramic views of the Andes Mountains, Lago Argentino, Mount Fitz Roy, and Torres del Paine. Located near El Calafate, this hill provides unique perspectives of Torres del Paine, Fitz Roy, Lake Argentino, the Magallanes and Avellaneda Peninsulas, given its distinct position outside the Andes range. Your journey begins with a pick-up from your El Calafate hotel, followed by a 25 km drive to Estancia Alice. There, you'll embark on a 4x4 adventure up Cerro Frías. As you ascend, marvel at the sprawling vistas of the Centinela River Valley and Torres del Paine. The route takes you to Cerro Frías' summit, where you might spot cows, guanacos, hares, and wild ponies. Post tour, return to the base for lunch or afternoon snacks. Leisure time is available at the ranch's barbecue area for exploration. The day concludes with a return drive to El Calafate, wrapping up an adventurous outing just a short distance from the city.

Despite its brevity, this short hike yields high rewards. To maximise your time in the Tierra del Fuego, wander on the Paseo de la Isla trail. You will find shore views of both the Ovando River and the Lapataia River. This trail will also give you a great opportunity to spot Patagonian aquatic birds. While you're visiting the Tierra del Fuego, pair this hike with a walk along the coastal path or a visit to Acigami Lake.

Known as the post office at the end of the world, this is the southern-most active post office in the world.

The Vinciguerra Glacier trekking is a full day outing, 14 km round trip and about 2/3 hours of walking uphill, with steep slopes alternating with flat parts. It is an activity of medium difficulty, for which you need to be in good physical condition, you don't need to be an athlete but you need to be able to maintain a constant walking pace, you don't have to go fast but constant. Once the ascent is finished we arrive at the lagoon of the icebergs where you can see the glacier in the background. We continue bordering the lagoon until we reach the glacier. The glacier is in retreat so you can always see different formations on the ice. In the summer season we put on our crampons and helmets and go up to make a mini trekking on the glacier. We have a different view of the place and the glacier, we share a nice moment, take some pictures, eat lunch and return the same way.
