Pura Patagonia

Pristine world

On this complete tour of Patagonia, you'll be introduced to the vast diversity of one of South America's greatest wildernesses. At Península Valdés, thousands of sea lions, elephant seals, penguins and whales gather every year to mate in the calm waters of the Golfo Nuevo. From the Beagle Canal, admire the wild nature of Fireland, the end point of the world. The south of Patagonia is also home to the largest land glaciers in the world. The thunderous violence of breaking down the Perito Moreno glacier is undoubtedly one of the highlights of your trip. A stay in Torres Del Paine completes your adventure.

Tips & Tops Pura Patagonia:

  • You can also discover the area around Peninsula Valdés with your own rental car; you can then stay on the peninsula itself for example at Estancia Rincon Chico.
  • Whales can be spotted 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, exclusively for guests
  • Experience Buenos Aires as it's meant to be! With special architectural excursions, culinary workshops, tango lessons and a visit to milongas (authentic dance venues).
  • Consider a cruise, from the water everything is different. Take a culinary mini cruise from El Calafate along the glaciers or travel from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas (or vice versa) on the Australis cruise along Fireland and Cape Horn.
  • Los Glaciares National Park (Argentina) near El Chaltén (to be reached from El Calafate) and Torres del Paine (Chile) in Patagonia are hiking paradises.
  • The day trips to the Cerro Torre and the Fitz Roy from the El Chaltén hiking paradise are among the most beautiful walks in this area.
  • In Torres del Paine we can also organise a walking tour with stay in refugios for you or stay in a luxury tented camp(Ecocamp or Patagonia Camp). Also book a special program 'In search of the cougar'.
  • A selection of 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
