Tour Patagonia With Viva Expeditions

When travelling to South America we are so fortunate to have the services of the Viva Expeditions team, with their experienced tour leaders and friendly local guides as well as their experienced driver and mechanic on every trip. Viva Expeditions’ Patagonia tour season starts at the end of October and is selling fast, with some tours being almost full. This fabulous tour includes 26 nights’ accommodation, 22 of these being in comfortable tourist class hotels and guesthouses, three nights in cabins and one night in a hiking refuge in Torres Del Paine National Park, with transport in their custom built all-terrain expedition vehicles and includes all National Park entrance fees.

This is an epic journey, starting in Santiago, the vibrant, cosmopolitan capital of Chile, continuing on through the wine region, then through the Chilean and Argentinian lake districts where hikers can hike in the Huerquehue or Villarica National Park and the Villarica volcano. This tour also takes in the Carretera Austral and the stunning landscapes of the Futaleufu Valley and the majestic Queulat Hanging Glacier and on down the infamous Route 40, into the vast Patagonian steppe.

Here the tour goes through the national park in El Chalten, Argentina's trekking capital and trekkers can walk on top of the mighty Viedma Glacier and explore magical ice caves. From here travellers can explore the southern ice fields, breath taking glaciers and the magnificent snow-capped Andes mountain ranges. More breath taking vistas await visitors to the Grey’s Glacier, French Valley and Las Torres, ultimately arriving in Punta Arenas where a meal of regional wild game awaits them.

From Punta Arenas the tour crosses the Straits of Magellan onto the island of Tierra Del Fuego. They then leave from Cerro Sombrero to visit a King Penguin colony on the way to Ushuaia, the most southerly city in the world where people can explore the Tierra Del Fuego National Park and arrive at ‘the end of the road’, Lapatia Bay, where they take a cruise on the Beagle Channel to view wildlife and learn of the region’s history.

Viva Expeditions’ guests will ultimately depart Ushuaia with wonderful memories, and a new respect of our wonderful planet, courtesy of Patagonia.
