El Calafate, Patagonia - 4 days
Patagonia is a prized destination for any traveler! This tour includes a visit to Perito Moreno glacier, named part of a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It has become one of the greater natural spectacles of South America. You will have some time free in order to walk along the paths with unique views of the glacier and take photos. One free day to enjoy El Calafate to take in incredible views of different glaciers through a side tour (additional price of $245 to $430 for Perito Glacier side tour). Begin at Puerto Bandera and travel to “Garganta del Diablo” where travelers can see local fauna including rare condors. Continue between ice floes and drift until arriving at the first point of Upsala Glacier,one of the most extensive glaciers in the world. Then on toward Onelli Bay for a walk through the woods to the small lake with the same name. Return to the port and then to El Calafate to rejoin the regular tour. This is a great add-on trip for those attempting the Aconcagua summit.
