What will you do
Unique and indescribable experience!
We met at the tourist port of Ushuaia and set off on Route 3. On the way, we cut the Andes Mountains and followed the path enjoying the magnificent view of this place.

Our first stop will be to see the typical and famous Flag Trees. They are trees that have sloped a lot due to the strong winds of the Argentine Patagonia. They are beautiful and seeing them is a truly unique experience!

We continued on our journey and soon arrived at the legendary Estancia Harberton. It was the island's first resort, having been founded in 1886 by Thomas Bridges and is located on the shores of the Beagle Channel.

We got to know the resort and went to the Acatushúnde Aves and Mammals Austral Museum, near the pier. In this museum we can see the bones of whales, penguins, sea lions and dolphins.

We then left for the most anticipated part of our adventure: Martillo Island. We entered a semi rigid boat, where we sailed for about 20 minutes until we reached the island, where we disembarked.

Arriving there we see thousands of penguins !! Really a special tour !! We walk for 1h between the different species of penguins (mainly, Papúase de Magallães penguins). We saw beautiful chicks, with their gray fur, newly born in their nests, we can see them in their different stages of life. A really exciting and contagious adventure !!

In the summer, penguins settle on the island, along with other birds such as skúas, petreles, cormoranes and seagulls. So, in addition to living with the wonderful penguins on our island, we also see these birds endemic to the southern Patagonia.

After our careful walk around the island, we take the boat and then transport back to the center of Ushuaia for this incredible experience.

Departure from your hotel to the Milodon Cave located 24 kilometers north of Puerto Natales. Before reaching the cave, the access path passes by the "Silla del Diablo" (Devil's Chair), a name that comes from the popular imagination given to a rocky structure that looks like an armchair and which is said to have been the "seat" of the Mylodon and which legend has transformed into the "devil".

At the end of the visit, we will continue along the new access road to Torres del Paine National Park, where we will be able to observe lagoons and mountain ranges along the way. Then, it is possible to admire the beautiful landscape around us from the Lago Grey viewpoint (view of the Grey Glacier, the Paine Massif and Lago del Toro). A couple of kilometers ahead, it is possible to observe the Cuernos del Paine, reaching the fork that leads to the Lake Grey area. In this sector we will be able to make a pleasant walk along the shore of Grey Lake and if the conditions help us, it is possible to access the viewpoint of Grey Peninsula.

Back in the parking lot of the Nursery, we take the route to a restaurant located inside the park to take a moment to rest with the option of lunch. (Lunch not included in the rate).

We take the road towards the valley and after 10 minutes of walking, we walk on an old suspension bridge that crosses the river Ascencio. About 150 meters later, appears a fork: to the left leads to the Base the towers.

Then follow a zigzag of marked slope and sparse vegetation for an hour. The ascent continues and passes along another side and after 45 minutes you reach the Chilean campsite on the opposite bank of the river Ascencio, in the shadow of a beech forest, with moderate slope, crossing several slopes that fall from the Admiral Nieto. After about an hour and 10 minutes from the Chilean campsite, at 700 masl., you reach the foot of the moraine that gives access to the viewpoint. From this point, the path increases its slope.

First it goes along a slope and under the shade of the small trees located on the edge of the moraine, but above the path is lost as such and must continue ascending among the rocks, some of which are marked to show the route. After about half an hour from the sign to 700 MASL, you reach the east end of the lagoon, from where you have a wonderful view of the three towers (Central, Monzino, Dagostini) and the Hills comb and nest of condors. After resting and having lunch in this extraordinary and unique scenic context on the planet, we begin our return on the same path until we reach the starting point, where our driver will be waiting to return at the end of the day to Puerto Natales.

The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most beautiful and emblematic landscapes in Patagonia.
Take the opportunity to see it in the most varied and intense ways !!

This unmissable experience begins in Porto "Bajo de las sombra", where we embark on a 15-minute navigation to cross the Brazo Rico. We got very close to the Glacier and at that moment we have a fantastic perception of how big it is.
Mountain guides will take you even closer to the glacier to catch crampones and form groups of up to 20 people to start the approach crossing.
Already on the glacier and with the crampons in place, the world takes a new perspective: blue lagoons, deep cracks, huge sinks, magical pits.
During the walk of about 1h30, the guides explain about the flora and fauna and about the general glaciology of the region, explaining about the specific phenomenon of ruptures of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
We sit on the glacier to rest and we will have time to enjoy and take beautiful pictures, and if you want to have a snack (not included). Fantastic experience being there, sitting on the glacier surrounded by mountains.
With the energy restored, we continued walking until we returned to the starting point, where we removed the staples and went down to the port.
We returned to the vessel satisfied and with this new adventure to tell.
We then pass the catwalks to see the Perito Moreno Glacier from the front. We see the beautiful shade of blue from this immense glacier and we take the opportunity to photograph it with a more open angle of view, watching as it rises from the lake to the top of the mountains enjoying a hot drink.

At the pre-agreed time, your driver will pick you up to take you to the El Pillar station where your trekking will begin.

In the morning, a transfer will take us from your hotel to the beginning of the trail at Hostería El Pilar, 17 kilometers from the city.

The self-guided tour starts in a dense Lengas forest that protects us from the winds coming from the Ice Field (Continental Ice). From the beginning we have the possibility to see several glaciers such as the Marconi, the Tram, the Cagliero and in the distance, towards Lago del Desierto, the Vespignani.

We go up to the Piedras Blancas Glacier Lookout and continue to the Poincenot camp from where we can already see needles like the “S”, Saint Exupéry, Poincenot, Fitz Roy, Mermoz and Guillaumet.

Leaving the Poincenot camp behind, we begin the most demanding kilometer of the trail to Laguna de los Tres, where we will climb 400 meters. It will be a kilometer of constant ascent through rocky and steep terrain, but once completed the views will be a great reward. We will contemplate the imposing Cerro Fitz Roy along with the peaks that accompany it, eternal snows and glaciers descending to Lagunas Sucia and De los Tres.

After a lunch break, we start our return passing through varied landscapes, accompanied by streams of crystalline waters and streams. We also visited the Lagoon of Capri, one of the favorite places for photography lovers, and then we arrived in El Chaltén. After a busy day, why not relax in the city with a tasty craft beer or chocolate with homemade waffles or cakes.

Approximate duration 8 to 9 hours.

Tip: We suggest using trekking poles and a small backpack, if you don't have it, you can rent it in various places in the city or directly with the guide who will offer explanations. We suggest taking a bottle of water that can be replaced during the tour with the freezing water from the glaciers that is clean and free! We also suggest taking extra snacks in your backpack, such as cereal bars, chocolates, fruits, and remember to never leave waste inside the park.

Important: Be prepared for the cold. The ideal is to wear layers-style sweaters, so that you can take them off as you walk and as your body warms up. A second skin, an intermediate coat and a raincoat complete the three layers. Wear Trekking shoes - or equivalent - that are comfortable. Take a pair of gloves, hats and whatever you think is convenient to protect yourself. Even with a cloudy day, never forget the sunscreen. In this area, the incidence of ultraviolet rays is greater than we are used to. Also protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses.

For those who prefer not to do day trekking there is the optional activity of taking the excursion to Lago do Desierto, here we make an amazing navigation through a lake of crystal clear waters and surrounded by incredible Patagonian landscapes overlooking Mount Fitz Roy. The physical demand for this tour is low.

Passengers will be given a Lunch Box to be consumed at lunchtime containing various snacks. Vegetarian options are available.
