Private Journey in Chile and Argentina.

Look South... Way South!

 

The world's southern-most city, Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, has a lot to offer. From penguins to Orcas, from the Beagle Channel to the lighthouse at the end of the world and from estancias to ski areas, the traveller will find much to keep himself occupied.

 

We look forward to visiting in November as we travel with a small number of our guests on our upcoming Private Journey to Chile and Argentina.

 

As well as Ushuaia, we'll add Santiago, Viña del Mar, Puerto Varas, the Lakes Crossing, Bariloche, Calafate, Torres del Paine and Buenos Aires. All this in one spectacular 22-day journey!

 

If you'd like to come along, please call us. The final booking date of September 12 is coming up fast.
