Estancias and the Perito Moreno Glacier
Waking up in Patagonia, your first adventure will involve stepping back in time at the estancias, the traditional Patagonian ranches that once had over 20,000 sheep living in them. Adventure from one estancia to the next, ending up at Nibepo Aike, where the family will share their history and show you how sheep were sheared prior to modern technology. Next up is the Perito Moreno Glacier. Sail across the Brazo Rico, then take a laidback walk in the forest to reach a viewpoint of the glacier, marvelling at its pale blue, sheer faces. Returning to the ship, you’ll sail to the southern face of the glacier, sipping whiskey while you admire the incredible ice. This small-group expedition is a much quieter way to experience Patagonia’s most-photographed glacier. The day ends with a drop-off at your hotel in El Calafate.

El Chaltén and Madsen’s House
Savour breakfast before departing for El Chaltén, a gorgeous drive with the mountains flanking the highway. After a post-arrival lunch, it’s on to the home of Andreas Madsen, a Danish man who lives in the valley with his family. Their unique history paints a picture of local life in this less-hospitable region. After tea at his own dining room table, you’ll drive back to town to try out the assortment of restaurants and bars in the evening.

Private Guided Trek in Los Glaciares
Those mountaintops have surely been taunting you throughout your adventures so far, but you don’t have to wait any longer to explore them! Hike through Patagonia’s unmatched Los Glaciares National Park with a guide today, choosing between a path to Laguna de los Tres or a shorter hike that still allows you to enjoy the scenery. If you’re up for it, we recommend the Laguna de los Tres trail for quintessential views of Fitz Roy rising dramatically over the lake, truly one of the most recognizable scenes in Patagonia.

Premium Excursion to Lago del Desierto
Yesterday’s beauty will be hard to beat, but today will come quite close. Driving through pristine valleys, beside the Continental Icefield, and alongside the Los Cóndores Range, you’ll have plenty to admire before stopping next to a thundering waterfall to stretch your legs. Arrive at Lago del Desierto, where you’ll hike up to the Huemul Glacier viewpoint. This area is uniquely lush and humid for Patagonia and the perfect place to enjoy a typical Argentine lunch of cheese, cold meats, olives, and wine or beer. After a perfect picnic, boat along Lago del Desierto, simply pristine with the snow-capped Andes framing it.
