Trip at a Glance

Small Groups: Never more than 24 travelers—guaranteed!

Join us on an epic adventure to some of the most dramatic and unspoiled landscapes on Earth: Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. On OAT’s southernmost adventure in the Americas, you’ll enjoy a firsthand look at the legendary landscapes of Argentina and Chile as only a small group can.

By land, discover the icy splendor of Perito Moreno Glacier and encounter fleet-footed ñandú and majestic condors during an overnight stay in the heart of Torres del Paine. Then cruise for four nights aboard an expedition ship through the Strait of Magellan and Beagle Channel to Tierra del Fuego, the mystical “Land of Fire,” stepping ashore at fabled Cape Horn, where the mighty Pacific and Atlantic oceans meet. Follow in the footsteps of Ferdinand Magellan and Sir Francis Drake on this spellbinding journey through the pristine wilderness that exists at the ends of the Earth.
