Patagonia! Explore the wild wonders of southern Argentina and Chile – the glaciers, fjords, the granite pillars in Torres del Paine National Park, the snowy volcanoes — land and sea — for 18 exhilarating days in one of Odysseys Unlimited’s small adventure-seeking groups.

Begin luxuriously in Buenos Aires for sightseeing, shopping and, of course, a sinewy tango show. Cruise in Southern Patagonia for 3-nights through the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego the last southern city on earth, and then Cape Horn National Park where the Atlantic and Pacific merge. Zodiac expeditions into Chico Sound will bring you close to the Piloto and Nena glaciers and Magdalena Island, home to over 120,000 hardy penguins.

Three nights in Chile’s Torres Del Paine National Park, a 700-square-mile World Biosphere Reserve, and top contender for one of the world’s most beautiful places. Three nights in Puerto Varas, in the heart of Chile’s Lake District, to hangout in Technicolor scenic wonders: glacier-topped volcanoes, dark forests, and cobalt lagoons. Wrap up in Santiago the capital of Chile for sightseeing, a private wine tasting, and a home-hosted meal.
