Starting in Santiago, Chile's urbane capital, you’ll head through the stunning Lake District and take guided tours through Tierra del Fuego National Park and the Moreno Glacier. The adventure doesn’t stop there – far from it. You’ll also meet penguins and elephant seals before heading through the wilds of Patagonia and into the dramatic wilderness of Torres del Paine National Park before reaching Ushuaia, the southern most tip of the continent. From there, skirting the eastern coast you’ll head north to the beautiful beaches of Brazil, taking in the wetlands of the Pantanal, visiting the mighty Iguazu Falls, enjoying the crystal clear waters of Bonito, Brazil’s eco-tourism capital and relaxing on the Emerald Coast.
