Trip to Patagonia with a Cruise to Cape Horn

  Trip to Patagonia with a Cruise to Cape Horn

Boris created a very nice 3-week itinerary for us, dense but adapted to our wishes (independence, photography, guides, nature and animals), and to our physical abilities.

So we explored Buenos Aires (briefly), Bariloche and its lakes, El Calafate and its glaciers, Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego, Puerto Madryn and the Peninsula Valdes, made a trip to Chile (Torres del Paine), and finally a fantastic cruise on the Beagle Channel, its fjords, and its legendary Cape Horn.

It was a complete change of scenery:

• Exceptional glaciers, Pampas as far as the eye can see, isolated Estancia, glacial valleys, primary or petrified forests, very rugged Cape Horn.
• Many exciting walks, by bus, canoe, zodiac, catamaran or human-sized ship, and also on horseback and by helicopter.
• Encounters with guanacos, emus, Magellanic geese, imperial cormorants, condors, penguins, gray foxes, right whales, dolphins, elephant seals, etc.
• Wind (often), snow (rare), rain (little), sun (a lot).
• Asado tastings on the terrace or by the stream, lamb or cow, with chimichouri, empanadas, introductions to Mate, Pisco Sour or Calafate, and various traditional dishes, accompanied by local Malbec or a Patagonia cerveza.

We immersed ourselves as much as possible in the life of the Argentinians, perfectly accompanied by competent and friendly guides, delighted to show us the little details of their region or city and very into nature and animal life: a special hello to Marie-Laure, Maximo, Marisa and Emilio for their kindness, their advice and their constant attention. So impeccable and careful organization.

What peace of mind to be met at the airport, driven to the hotel, transported to the location, and to have a rapid response as soon as a grain of sand creeps in (sorry Mariana if we contacted you at odd hours, and thank you again).

Stay from November 4, 2023 to November 25, 2023
