Pristine waters ranging from sapphire and azure to milky white glimmer between ragged peaks and barren yellow fields. Raw, ragged and wind blown - Patagonia truly is the end of the world.

Nature lovers and city dwellers alike are awestruck absorbing the unadulterated landscape, hardly touched by human hands, carved from years of geological movement. Luckily, between your forays into the great unknown there are warm hotels and world-class cuisine waiting for you in Argentina's Patagonia.

Ushuaia, El Calafate and El Chaltén are the three major stops worth making while traveling in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. Choose to begin in either El Calafate or Ushuaia as travel between El Calafate and El Chalten is easily done by bus. Flights are the most convenient route between El Calafate and Ushuaia, otherwise you will have to backtrack to the town of Rio Gallegos and transfer to another bus to get to el Calafate.

With unpaved roads and high winds, driving is not recommended outside of town. If you choose to travel by land, take buses when traveling long distances. Don’t forget to bring plenty of warm clothes, and keep it casual. Prices reflect the booming tourist industry and are much higher than in Buenos Aires, likewise reservations are always necessary in high season.
