Argentina travel 2022
Visit the Perito Moreno Glacier
Marvel at the world-famous Perito Moreno Glacier, a wonder of nature. This large glacier wall blocks a narrow water channel formed by Lake Argentino. This pressure can cause large chunks of ice to crash into the lake below, a true sight to behold.
Visit the Iguazu Falls
No trip to Argentina would be complete without visiting Iguazu Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world that straddles the border of Argentina and Brazil.
Meander along the walkways and explore the natural beauty of the falls and the surrounding tropical jungle. Get a real sense of the magnitude of the enormous falls from the lower circuit, and don’t miss visiting Devil’s Throat Falls, where you stand just metres from the thundering cascades of water. Don’t forget to pack a poncho for this one!
For a change of pace adventure, enjoy a tranquil rafting experience on the Iguazu River as you admire the beauty of the river and the park and perhaps even spot a resident alligator or monkey.
Whale Watching in Puerto Madryn
Spend the morning navigating the deep blue waters of Patagonia in search of Southern Right Whales in their natural habitat. Led by an experienced guide who knows the bay intimately, you are almost guaranteed to spot some amazing wildlife.
Then embark on an adventurous journey in the afternoon, paddling by sea kayak into the fauna rich Patagonian coast. Several colonies of sea lions and seabirds call the coastline home, and you can witness them frolicking in the brilliant blue waters and sunbathing on the rocks from up close.

Easter Island
To this day, the significance of the mystical Moai statue heads that dominate Easter Island remains unclear. What we do know is that this is a truly unique destination that only a few are lucky enough to visit.
A tiny isolated island located in the South Pacific, Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui National Park, is best reached by air from Santiago de Chile. As well exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Listed haunting statues and rock formations, you can also visit to the epic 1,063 foot tall extinct Rano Kau Volcano, pristine white sandy beaches and learn about the myths and legends of the original aboriginal Polynesian inhabitants, the Rapa Nui people.
Puerto Natales Cruise
Spend three nights cruising through the breathtaking and wild region of the Chilean fjords. This remote region offers utter solitude and incredible landscapes unlike anywhere else.
You’ll get a chance to viewAmalia Glacier from the coast, explore the fjord and view the Fernando, Capitan Constantino and Alipio Glaciers by zodiac boat and take a scenic walk to the ice-face of the mighty Bernal Glacier.
On the final day,cruise in zodiac boats around Angostura White and observe the native flora & fauna found on these small islands.
Visit to Hierbas Buenas Petroglyphs & Rainbow Valley
The Rainbow Valley gets its name from the rich mineral make-up that casts different hues across the mountainous landscape.
Nestled in the valley, Hierbas Buenas is one of the scenic highlights of the region that few people know about. Make a stop to marvel at the ancient petroglyphs of Hierbas Buenas. These carvings depict local animals, such as the llama, and other important symbols to the Atacameño people.
