At 9:00 a.m., depart from your hotel for a guided tour of Buenos Aires’ most iconic landmarks.

The visit begins in the exclusive neighborhood of Recoleta, with entrance to the famous Recoleta Cemetery, considered one of the most important in the world for its architecture and for housing the mausoleums of historical figures such as Eva Perón (Evita).

The tour continues to Palermo, the city’s largest neighborhood, known for its parks, plazas, museums, and modern atmosphere. You’ll pass through areas such as Palermo Soho and Palermo Chico, where designer houses, boutique cafés, and European-style architecture stand out.

Evening: Tango Dinner Show at El Querandí

At 8:00 p.m., transfer from your hotel to enjoy an unforgettable evening at El Querandí, one of the most emblematic tango houses in Buenos Aires. Located in a restored 1920s mansion in the heart of San Telmo, this venue has been declared a “Living Testimony of the City’s Memory” by the Historical Museum of Buenos Aires.

Enjoy a three-course à la carte dinner featuring typical Argentine dishes and a wide selection of wines, beers, soft drinks, and coffee.

The show Nuestro Tango takes you through five historic eras of tango, from its origins in the outskirts of the city to its modern-day evolution, performed by four dance couples, two singers, and a live quartet (bandoneon, piano, violin, and double bass).

This experience is distinguished by its intimate atmosphere, artistic quality, and commitment to tango as an authentic cultural expression of Argentina.

At the end of the evening, return transfer to your hotel: Hotel Rochester Concept.

At the scheduled time, transfer from your hotel to the airport to board your flight to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, located in the region of Tierra del Fuego. The flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. Upon arrival, a representative from our agency will meet you at the airport to assist and transfer you privately to your selected hotel: Hotel Villa Brescia. Rest of the day free, depending on your arrival time, to rest or explore the area on your own.

At 7:00 a.m., depart from the hotel towards Tierra del Fuego National Park, the only national park in Argentina with a maritime coast. This protected area covers over 63,000 hectares of sub-Antarctic forest, home to lengas, ñires, guindos, and wild orchids, among other species.

The first stop will be at the End of the World Train Station to board a scenic 7 km journey on historic steam locomotives. This route follows the same path once used by trains transporting prisoners from Ushuaia’s old prison between 1910 and 1947. Along the way, passengers enjoy multilingual commentary and panoramic views of the Pipo River Valley and La Macarena waterfall.

At the end of the train ride, the tour continues deeper into the park, walking along trails through ancient forests and natural viewpoints overlooking the Beagle Channel.

The excursion continues to Roca Lake, known in the Yámana language as Acigami (“elongated basket”), surrounded by snow-capped peaks, old man’s beard lichens, and glacial landscapes. Here, you may visit the Forest House or take a break at the Alakush Café, which also serves as the park’s interpretive center.

The next stop is Lapataia Bay, the southern end of National Route 3 and one of the most symbolic places in Tierra del Fuego. From its walkways, you can contemplate the horizon at the “end of the continent,” immersed in the vastness of southern nature.

After the visit, return to Ushuaia for the afternoon portion of the program.

In the afternoon, transfer to the port of Ushuaia to embark on a navigation through the Beagle Channel, one of the region’s most emblematic experiences.

Onboard the vessel, you will find bathrooms, heating, and a cafeteria serving snacks, drinks, coffee, and light meals for greater comfort during the trip.

The route includes Bird Island, home to cormorants and other seabirds; Sea Lion Island, where South American sea lions can be observed in their natural habitat; and the iconic Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, symbol of the southern tip of Argentina.

The highlight will be disembarking on Martillo Island, where you will walk among a stable colony of Gentoo penguins, the third largest species after the Emperor and King penguins. This activity is conducted under strict preservation rules, allowing you to observe wildlife up close in its pristine sub-Antarctic environment.

At the end of the navigation, return to the port and transfer to your hotel: Hotel Villa Brescia.

At the scheduled time, transfer from your hotel to Ushuaia Airport to board your flight to El Calafate, gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.

The flight takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Upon arrival, our representative will meet you at the airport and assist with your private transfer to your selected hotel: Hotel Kapenke.

Depending on your arrival time, the rest of the day will be free for rest or to explore the surroundings on your own.

At 9:00 a.m., depart from your hotel for a full-day excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the most impressive natural icons of Argentine Patagonia. The glacier is located 80 km from El Calafate, inside Los Glaciares National Park.

The journey follows the shoreline of Lake Argentino, passing through Bahía Redonda, home to birds such as flamingos, black-necked swans, and upland geese. The first 40 km cross the Patagonian steppe, and as you enter the park, the landscape transforms into Andean-Patagonian forest with species like ñires, lengas, and guindos, along with brightly colored flowers depending on the season.

Before reaching the glacier, stop at the famous “Curve of Sighs,” where you’ll get your first panoramic view of Perito Moreno — an unforgettable moment for photographs and to take in the immensity of the surroundings.

Continue to the network of panoramic walkways, a series of elevated paths stretching about 5 km, offering multiple viewpoints facing the glacier. From here you can observe the continuous calving of ice that crashes dramatically into the waters of the Brazo Rico of Lake Argentino.

The Perito Moreno Glacier, with a front wall over 70 meters high and 5 km wide, is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing.

At the end of the visit, return transfer to your hotel: Hotel Kapenke.

At 7:00 a.m., transfer from your hotel to Puerto Punta Bandera, located 47 km from El Calafate. Here you will board a modern vessel equipped with bathrooms, heating, and a cafeteria offering snacks, hot drinks, and panoramic lounges.

The navigation begins along the North Arm of Lake Argentino, the largest lake in Argentina, surrounded by mountain ranges and turquoise glacial waters. The scenery becomes increasingly spectacular as you pass through the narrow Boca del Diablo, the gateway to the glacier channels.

From here, the boat enters the Upsala Channel, where enormous floating icebergs drift, having broken off from the Upsala Glacier — one of the largest in Los Glaciares National Park. Their varied shapes, textures, and intense shades of blue create a stunning, silent scene that reflects the immensity of southern Patagonia.

The cruise continues through the Spegazzini Channel, lined with cliffs, native forests, and snow-capped peaks. Along the way you will see hanging glaciers such as Seco, Heim Sur, and Peineta, cascading dramatically down the mountainsides into the lake.

The journey culminates with the imposing Spegazzini Glacier, the tallest in the park, with a towering ice wall reaching over 135 meters high. The boat carefully approaches the glacier’s face, allowing for a privileged perspective of its magnitude.

Disembark at the Spegazzini Base, located directly across from the glacier, to begin the second part of the experience.

Once on land, you will have access to the modern and eco-friendly Spegazzini Refuge, featuring heated lounges, panoramic terraces, restrooms, and a restaurant.

Here you’ll enjoy the included lunch, with regional dishes and menu options to suit different tastes, all while admiring direct views of the glacier.

After lunch, enjoy free time to walk along interpretive trails, explore the natural surroundings, stop at viewpoints, and take photographs. The closeness to the glacier and the serene setting make this a unique and unforgettable experience.

At around 3:00 p.m., return by boat to Puerto Punta Bandera, with arrival expected at approximately 4:00 p.m. From there, transfer back to your hotel: Hotel Kapenke.
