Chile & Argentina Journey: Wine Country, Lakes, Patagonia & Iguazú

Arrive in Santiago, meet your local guide, and transfer privately to your hotel. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy independent exploration of nearby neighborhoods or museum visits.

Spend a full day in the Casablanca Valley on a private wine tour with tastings at selected vineyards. Enjoy a gourmet lunch among the vines, learning about Chilean winemaking traditions and the cool-climate varietals that define this region.

Optional: an overnight stay at a vineyard lodge can be arranged instead of returning to Santiago.

Explore the heart of Chile's Lake District on a full-day excursion into Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. Travel along the shores of Lake Llanquihue to the slopes of Osorno Volcano, where panoramic viewpoints reveal sweeping vistas of the Andes, surrounding lakes, and forested valleys. Continue to the Petrohué Falls, where glacial waters rush over ancient volcanic rock, creating one of the region's most iconic natural scenes. The day allows time for short walks, photography, and quiet appreciation of the Lake District's dramatic landscapes.

Cross the Andes via one of South America's most scenic routes, a breathtaking combination of buses and boats. Navigate emerald lakes beneath Osorno, Puntiagudo, and Tronador volcanoes before arriving in Bariloche, Argentina. The crossing itself is a highlight of the entire journey.

Enjoy a half-day outdoor experience in Bariloche focused on the pristine waters of Lago Gutiérrez, one of the region's most scenic Andean lakes. After pickup from your hotel, travel to the lakeshore where your local guide will provide a briefing on safety and paddling techniques. Set out by kayak across calm, crystal-clear waters surrounded by forested slopes and mountain peaks. Midway through the excursion, stop at a secluded beach to relax and enjoy a light snack before paddling back to shore. At the end of the experience, return to your hotel with the afternoon free to explore Bariloche at your own pace.

Spend a full day at Los Glaciares National Park visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier. Walk the extensive boardwalk system for panoramic views and take a boat ride close to the glacier's towering ice walls, witnessing dramatic calving events as massive chunks of ice crash into the lake below.

Optional: a trekking excursion on top of the glacier can be arranged for those seeking a more immersive experience.

Explore Iguazú National Park on the Argentine side with a full-day guided tour. Walk the upper and lower circuits for close-up views of hundreds of cascading waterfalls, then take the walkway to the Devil's Throat, where the sheer volume of water creates a thundering curtain of mist and spray.

Discover Buenos Aires on a guided city tour exploring the city’s most distinctive neighborhoods. Stroll through Palermo’s green spaces and cafes, browse the antique stalls of San Telmo, and visit the colorful streets of La Boca before continuing to the grand avenues and historic landmarks of Recoleta, including a stop at Recoleta Cemetery. The afternoon is free to relax or explore independently. In the evening, choose to enjoy an optional dinner and tango show, or take part in a tango lesson for a more hands-on introduction to Argentina’s most iconic cultural tradition.
