In 11 days you could experience major highlights including Argentina’s awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier and Mt. Fitz Roy, located in Los Glaciares National Park. Perhaps enjoy a Chilean excursion from the Prussian-blue lakes and snow-capped volcanoes of the Lake District to the glaciers and granite massifs of Torres del Paine National Park. Or combine a trip to Argentina and Chile that includes walking with Magellanic penguins and traveling to the wilderness in Tierra del Fuego National Park, located at the “end of the world.”
