Pura Patagonia

Unspoiled world

On this complete tour of Patagonia, you will be introduced to the enormous diversity of one of South America's greatest wildernesses. At Península Valdés, thousands of sea lions, elephant seals, penguins and whales gather annually, seeking the calm waters of the Golfo Nuevo to mate. From the Beagle Channel, admire the wild nature of Tierra del Fuego, the terminus of the world. Southern Patagonia is also home to the largest land glaciers in the world. The thundering violence of breaking off the Perito Moreno Glacier is undoubtedly one of the highlights of your trip. A stay in Torres Del Paine will complete your adventure.

Tips & Tops Pura Patagonia:

  • You can also explore the area around Peninsula Valdés with your own rental car; you can then stay on the peninsula itself, for example, at Estancia Rincon Chico.
  • Whale watching is available from June to mid-December.
  • El Pedral lodge is an authentic oasis in the Patagonian steppe; near the private estate you can witness breeding colonies of penguins and elephant seals, exclusive to guests
  • Experience Buenos Aires the way it was meant to be! With special architecture excursions, culinary workshops, tango lessons and visits to milongas (authentic dance venues).
  • Consider a cruise, from the water everything is different. Take a culinary mini cruise from El Calafate past the glaciers or travel from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas (or vice versa) with the Australis cruise past Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn.
  • National Park los Glaciares (Argentina) near El Chaltén (accessible from El Calafate) and Torres del Paine (Chile) in Patagonia are hiking paradises.
  • The day trips to Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy from hiking paradise El Chaltén are among the most beautiful hikes in this area.
  • In Torres del Paine we can also organize for you a hiking trek with stays in refugios or stay in a luxury tented camp(Ecocamp or Patagonia Camp). Also book a special program 'In search of the puma'.
  • Some of the recommended accommodations: Eolo Hotel - El Calafate, Hotel Arakur - Ushuaia, Tierra Patagonia - Torres del Paine, Estancia Rincon Chico - Peninsula Valdes, El Pedral Lodge near Puerto Madryn
  • We can offer this trip in different accommodation categories.
