Day 3  Torres del Paine NP
Departing Puerto Natales, we’ll venture back to mighty Torres del Paine, looping around to the eastern perimeter. Goals today are Laguna Azul, the Rio Paine waterfalls, and western vistas of the impressive Los Torres pinnacles. In the afternoon we’ll cross into Argentina, destination El Calafate.

Day 4  Perito Moreno
Today we embark on an excursion to the impressive Perito Moreno glacier. This massive river of ice terminates in an ice wall that is 3 miles wide, with an average height of 240 feet above the surface of the crystal blue waters of Lake Argentino. Our local guide will explain the dynamics of glaciation and take us to all the best boardwalk viewing locations. Then we’ll board a boat for a cruise on the lake, with up close views of the glacier terminus. We’ll enjoy the explosive dynamics of iceberg calving from this unique perspective.

Day 3  Iguazu - Argentine side
Our visit to the Argentinian side of Iguazu today allows us to get up close to the waterfalls via a series of boardwalks, including one to the very crest of the mighty Devil’s Throat cascade. A series of well-designed walkways and viewing platforms gives us access to many of the other dozens of cascades. Then we’ll take a boat ride to the base of the falls for an even more exhilarating experience.

Day 4  Iguazu - Brazilian side
This morning we will head across the border to the Brazilian side of the falls. From here we get panoramic views of the falls and enjoy a boardwalk that takes us to the base of the Devil’s Throat.

We’ll gather at the hotel for a final Happy Hour to toast our adventures, new travel memories, and new travel friends.
