Thursday 20th July (day 2)

City Tour of Buenos Aires, the Paris of the South. We’ll visit the different areas that make up the tapestry that is Buenos Aires, including the upscale La Recoleta with its Haussmanian style hosues, La Boca and its colourful buildings and lively markets, The Teatro Colon, Cemeterio La Recoleta (where the famed Eva Peron is buried), Catedral Primada, Plaza de Mayo and the famous Casa Rosada or Pink House which dominates the area.

Saturday 22nd July (day 4)

Morning flight to El Calafate

Afternoon 4x4 excursion along the shores of Argentino Lake. The excursion is mainly focused on the first contact of the explorers with the natives, and then enters the Tehuelche world. On the shore of the lake you may see the caves where this cultures left their mark on the rocks thousands of years ago, which now allow us to interpret them.

The excursion ends in another cave where we will have a beautiful private dinner in nature.

Upon arrival to the National Park, our guide will show us the different walkways from where you will be able to walk in front of the colossal ice wall, and, if you are lucky, perhaps see some landslides.

We will start the adventure from the main balcony and then, have some free time to wander freely until the meeting time agreed with our guide.

Later, we’ll take a 1-hour boat ride to sail along the massive glacier wall that rises 240 feet above Argentino lake and in between floating icebergs. On this tour, we will go on a cruise across Lake Rico, passing in between icebergs that have calved off the front of the Perito Moreno glacier. Reaching the Icebergs Channel, the boat will stop at a safe distance from the glacier to continue to sail down its front, allowing for spectacular views of the ice wall and any breaking and floating icebergs.
