Patagonia
Few places on the globe evoke the mystery and awe that Patagonia provides for the intrepid traveler. The rugged crags and spires of mighty Torres del Paines and Los Glacieres National Parks constitute perhaps the most impressive mountain vistas on earth. Iguazu is arguably the world’s most impressive waterfall. The wild isolated inlets, fjords, and islands of Tiera del Fuego, alpine lakes, penguin and seal colonies, and massive glaciers round out the natural experience. Combine these with the cultural gems and Tango culture of Buenos Aires and one has a recipe for a memorable travel experience.
