Fly to Puerto Natales and transfer to your lodge just outside of Torres del Paine National Park. Your glamping stay here takes place at Patagonia Camp. After days spent exploring the park’s many trails, lakes, and viewpoints, relax in a private yurt with mountain views.
Cross the border into Argentina and continue on to El Calafate. Explore the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few still-expanding glaciers in the world. This stop offers a taste of things to come in Antarctica.
