Your own guide, your own vehicle, and an itinerary shaped entirely around you.

13 Days / 12 Nights Up to 25 Guests Free Itinerary Changes Local Expert Guide

About This Tour

Santiago and Patagonia's Torres del Paine bookend a six-day Antarctic Peninsula expedition by ship, reached via a charter flight over the Drake Passage from Punta Arenas. This trip is based in Chile (Santiago, Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine) but includes a six-day expedition to Antarctica (days 4–9) — a distinct polar region outside Chile, reached by charter flight over the Drake Passage rather than by sea crossing. Every day is confirmed for wherever the itinerary actually places you, whether on the Chilean mainland or aboard the Antarctic expedition vessel.
