Early explorers described Patagonia as a barren land devoid of fresh water and trees, with only brackish ponds and dwarf plants. However, hidden in the heart of this inhospitable region is Bariloche, where you will find one of the world's most beautiful and spectacular landscapes. Snow capped mountains, lakes, rivers and wooden chalets combine to provide a wide range of outdoor activities including skiing, hiking and water sports.

Further south, the vast steppe land gives way to impressive mountain ranges where huge glaciers, such as the Perito Moreno Glacier, carve out the rock. This area offers some of the best trekking and climbing. Finally, across the straits of Magellan lies the large island of Tierra del Fuego, divided between Argentina and Chile and the main base for cruises to Antarctica or through the Beagle Channel.

From Atlantic to Pacific Ocean, from desert to dense beech forest and from ice shelves and glaciers to towering granite pinnacles, Patagonia offers any visitor the most unforgettable adventure at the 'End of the World'.
