View dates & pricesAs Featured In
This epic journey takes you from El Calafate to Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, at the very edge of South America. Along the way, you’ll witness the dramatic peaks of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre—two of Patagonia’s most iconic mountains—stand in awe before the immense Perito Moreno Glacier, and cross the historic Magellan Strait into Tierra del Fuego. From glacier walks to windswept landscapes at the end of the world, this adventure showcases the very best of our Argentina Tours .
Argentina and Chile Glaciers and Peaks of Patagonia
Drawn from the full tour dossier — the standout days, encounters and views our specialists keep coming back to.
Every Argentina tour opens in Buenos Aires with time to absorb one of South America's most layered capital cities. The ornate mausoleums of Recoleta Cemetery, the cobbled antiques lanes of San Telmo, and the vivid street murals of Caminito in La Boca each carry their own character, whilst Plaza de Mayo, the Casa Rosada, and Teatro Colón anchor the city's political and cultural story. An evening tango show with dinner — including one performance at the Art Deco Tango Porteño theatre — rounds off an introduction to a city where European architecture and Argentine street life meet at every corner.
Discover Patagonia's most iconic mountain scenery and wildlife through guided walks in Torres del Paine National Park.
Witness this vast, active glacier up close in Los Glaciares National Park — one of the world's few advancing glaciers.
At the opposite end of the country, Patagonia delivers landscapes of exceptional scale. Three days of trekking from El Chalten lead to Laguna Torre beneath Cerro Torre, the glacial cirque of Laguna de los Tres below Mount Fitz Roy, and the glacier-fed alpine lake of Lago del Desierto, reached by boat through surrounding forest. El Calafate provides access to Perito Moreno Glacier — five kilometres of walkway platforms wind above this advancing wall of ice — before the tour reaches Ushuaia, where Tierra del Fuego National Park encompasses walks to Roca Lake and Lapataia Bay, and a Beagle Channel boat excursion passes Birds Island, Sea Lions Island, and Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.

“An amazing trip! We had the most amazing holiday — over two weeks we had a taste of the cities, the culture, the mountains, a safari, and time at the beach. Our driver/guide made the whole trip very relaxing, and we were welcomed warmly by everyone we met, enjoying fabulous food and drink along the way. Undiscovered Destinations planned a really amazing itinerary for us with great hotels, a fabulous guide/driver, and interesting places to visit — they took great care to ensure we had an excellent holiday. We look forward to booking another holiday with them in the future. Thank you, Mark!”

“This adventure was always going to be very full-on, which is how we like our trips. I didn't count on getting bronchitis and ending up in hospital, however. The itinerary was quickly amended to avoid high-altitude destinations as much as possible while still making sure we had a chance to enjoy interesting experiences. While obviously sad to have missed some of the original sites, the revised itinerary was the only sensible option under the circumstances. I was extremely impressed with how Undiscovered Destinations and their local team handled the situation — taking the stress out of it, smoothing the way, rearranging the itinerary and booking new hotels, translating for me with the medical staff, and making sure I always had transport, medicines and anything else I needed. Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept in touch with me, each other, and the insurance company throughout. I can't recommend them enough!”

“My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Undiscovered Destinations. We had a different guide at each stop, and all of them were friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable. The local people were welcoming, and we always felt safe and comfortable. The beaches were spectacularly beautiful and empty of people, with warm, clear water, and each stop had its own character — some we loved for their unspoiled scenery, others for their history and the warmth of the welcome. We took the opportunity to snorkel on one of the most pristine reefs we've experienced, swimming with sea turtles and enormous manta rays that came right up to us out of curiosity. A wonderful destination for nature lovers.”
Frank
“Excellent. Action packed. Our local agent was excellent, and a good choice by Undiscovered Destinations. Because there were only two of us on the holiday, we had different guides at each stop, each one making sure we were handed over safely. All manner of transport was used, and we appreciated the different guiding strategies, the wealth of information given, the high level of English, and the genuine wish to show off their country at its best. Excellent.”
Cathy
“Far exceeding my expectations, this was one of the best trips I've ever done. A beautiful destination, with interesting history, lively ceremonies, lovely people and — surprisingly, for somewhere that sees so few tourists — absolutely no hassle on the streets. Excellent service from start to finish, with a first-class tour leader.”
Lynn
“We had a two-week trip with Undiscovered Destinations, flying in for two days first to break up the journey. It was a great trip, because we managed to see so much more than just the capital cities. This was the fourth trip we've taken with Undiscovered Destinations, and each one has been wonderful. Our guides were lovely — very professional and helpful. We rate UD very highly.”
Andy
“We had a fabulous trip with an excellent local guide, who took great care of us and enthusiastically shared his knowledge of both ancient and recent history, with lots of fascinating personal stories of his own life. We highly recommend this trip — Undiscovered Destinations were great to work with, and we hope to use them again.”
Jennie
“Everything was great — we got to witness a wonderful variety of wildlife, and thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the hospitality of the people. A fabulous trip from start to finish.”
Debbie
“Excellent all-round trip. Drivers were conscientious and careful, accommodation was better than expected, and the scenery was stunning throughout.”
Alexis
“Fabulous, unusual destination, and great people. A private tour of somewhere little-visited, with great service from start to finish and excellent knowledge and advice from Undiscovered Destinations throughout.”
