Route:	Trelew - Puerto Madryn - Peninsula Valdes - Puerto Madryn - Trelew

Endless wilderness is one thing Argentina has plenty of, but surprisingly enough, wildlife is something you don’t see much of. Except on the Peninsula Valdès that is.

During this three-day Argentina tour, you’ll explore the Peninsula, spotting elephant seals, sea lions, dolphins, armadillos, several species of birds and depending on the time of year, humpback whales, killer whales and lots, lots of penguins.

Price:	£265 per person - based on 2 people
Departure:	daily from Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Ushuaia or El Calafate
Route:	Trelew - Peninsula Valdes - Trelew

This is our best way to travel Argentina's Peninsula Valdes. You’ll be staying on the peninsula itself so you’ll be out on the water before the groups of day trippers from Puerto Madryn arrive. In a tiny zodiac dingy you get so close you can almost touch these ocean giants. You can spend the rest of the day driving along the coast in your hire car in search of sea elephants, penguins, dolphins and killer whales. If you take a stroll along the beach at sunset, you’re likely to spot whale tails breaching the ocean waves. Click here for more details on our Visit Patagonia trip.

Bariloche is a popular holiday destination among the local Argentineans who come here all year round for skiing, hiking, adventure sports and water sports on Nahuel Huapi lake. This lively mountain resort, surrounded by Andes mountains and dense pine forests, is more Switzerland than Argentina with its wooden chalets, ski lifts and chocolate shops. On this Argentina tour, you’ll spend the days outdoors and in the evening tuck into a cheese fondue by the crackling fire. Click here for more details on our Patagonia adventure.

Duration:	4 days / 3 nights
Price:	£338 per person - based on 2 people
Departure:	daily
Route:	El Calafate - Perito Moreno glacier - El Calafate

Patagonia, in the southern tip of the South American continent, draws travellers from across the world who come here to experience the breathtaking ice scenery and strong winds. This is also where you’ll find the world’s only non-retreating glacier, the Perito Moreno. You can’t afford to miss this natural wonder, even if it’s just to get a chance of witnessing a rupture. During this Argentina tour you’ll go on a boat trip right along the towering wall of ice and see huge chunks of ice that have just broken off the glacier. You can also book an optional tour to the world’s largest glacier and spend the day sailing amongst the icebergs.

Travel Argentina: Patagonia trip Tierra del Fuego: gateway to the South Pole

Duration:	4 days / 3 nights
Price:	£235 per person - based on 2 people
Departure:	daily
Route:	Ushuaia - Beagle Channel - Martillo Island - Ushuaia

Ushuaia is the southernmost town in Patagonia and, in fact, in all of Latin America. Although the region Tierra del Fuego conjures up romantic images, windswept plains and a settlement of worn-down wooden huts exposed to the elements, these days Ushuaia is a lively tourist town set on a usually calm bay. This is the last stop on the continent before Antarctica and about as close you can get to the South Pole without leaving the shore. As part of this Argentina adventure tour you’ll go hiking in the Tierra del Fuego National Park and, during a boat trip along the Beagle Channel, you can breathe in the salty sea breeze and imagine yourself as part of Charles Darwin’s crew on his 19th Century epic voyage.
