Patagonian Highlights13 days - from $3150Explore the spectacular wilderness at the southern end of the worldRugged, snow-capped mountains stand imposing in the wild and mountainous south of Argentina and Chile, fringed by huge icy lakes and windswept grasslands. In the distance shy guanacos roam and a few hardy guachos tend their many sheep. We discover the sheer-sided peak of Mount Fitzroy in Los Glaciares National Park and the immense Perito Moreno Glacier, where chunks of ice are often seen cracking into the surrounding waters.
