Luxury Patagonia Itinerary: Day by Day
Day 1: Buenos Aires
Land in Buenos Aires and check in to Legado Mítico, a boutique hotel in Palermo, for a night to settle in. If you have the energy, stroll out through the leafy streets to one of the city’s famous parrillas for your first Argentine steak; our experts are always happy to share a favourite, or arrange a private guide for the city.
Day 2-4: Ushuaia
Ushuaia sits on the shore of the Beagle Channel, with the Martial Mountains rising straight up behind the town: this is as far south as cities go. Spend three nights at Arakur, high above the town in its own nature reserve, with a full day out on the channel with a local guide. Paddle a canoe past sea lion colonies, walk across Gable Island, where the Yámana people lived and fished for thousands of years, and land on Martillo Island to see its penguin colony up close.
Day 5-8: Tierra del Fuego
Next comes one of the great journeys of the far south: four nights aboard an Australis expedition ship, sailing west from Ushuaia through the fjords of Tierra del Fuego to Punta Arenas in Chile. The expedition team takes you ashore by small boat on most days. Stand at Cape Horn, where the Atlantic meets the Pacific (weather permitting), walk through the forests of Wulaia Bay, and get close to the towering face of the Pia Glacier.
In Glacier Alley, glaciers named after European countries spill down to the water one after another, best watched from the deck with a hot drink in hand.
Day 9-12: Torres del Paine
From Punta Arenas, it’s a drive north to Torres del Paine and Patagonia Camp, your home for four nights. Mornings start with a choice, and your guide will help you decide: a horse ride across estancia land, a boat trip to a glacier face, a cycle along quiet gravel roads, or a hike towards the granite towers themselves.
Afternoons are for long lunches and a glass of Chilean red, and the hot tub is never far away. Guanacos graze almost everywhere in the park; condors, grey foxes and the occasional puma are a bonus.
Day 13-14: Santiago
Fly north to Santiago for two final nights at The Singular Santiago, in the lively Lastarria neighbourhood, close to the city’s best restaurants and sights. Explore at your own pace, or spend a day with a private guide. Want more time to unwind? Add a few days at a vineyard: see our wine holiday recommendations .
Day 15: Depart
Transfer to Santiago airport for your flight home. Looking for an even bigger adventure? Our Antarctica and Patagonia Wilderness Holiday adds an expedition cruise to the White Continent.
When to Go
Best time for a luxury Patagonia holiday
The best time for this journey is November to March, when the Australis cruise is sailing, the days are long and Torres del Paine is at its most accessible. December to February is peak season, so we recommend booking 9–12 months ahead: Patagonia Camp has a limited number of yurts and the best cabins on the cruise go quickly. October and April are quieter, with spring flowers or autumn colours.
