Due to the expansiveness of Patagonia - over 400,000 square miles - and the fact it encompasses the southern end of South America, governed by Argentina and Chile; this is one of the more remote places to reach in the world.
The region comprises the southern section of the Andes Mountains with lakes, fjords, temperate rainforests, and glaciers in the west and deserts, tablelands and steppes to the east.
This itinerary was designed to experience a couple key areas of Patagonia on both the Argentinian side and the Chilean side; in a condensed amount of time.
The focus of the itinerary is on Glaciers National Park, outside of El Calafate; and Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.
The itinerary easily combines both countries, however, you can separate them out if you just want to focus on one area of Patagonia, and expand your touring from there.
The itinerary will include additional places to say based on budget, mid-budget and luxury accomodations; as well as recommended restaurants, and optional tours and activities.

This was our first adventurous trip as a couple where we really toured around Argentina to try and see as much of it as we could in two weeks whilst really trying to get a feel for the places we visited.
In this itinerary, you'll spend two weeks covering these spots in Argentina:
-> El Chalten (Patagonia!)
-> El Calafate (& the Glacier)
-> Ushuaia (Walk With The Penguins!)
-> Buenos Aires (The Famous City)
This itinerary covers each day & outlines where to stay, where to eat, and what to do. It also covers things like what to know before arriving in Argentina, travel times, our experiences, and so much more.
We did this exact itinerary when we visited in 2021 so you'll have our input and can be sure it's the perfect itinerary to see as much of Argentina in two weeks whilst still enjoying as much as possible during your stay in each of those places.

I've been to Argentina several times and it is one of my favourite countries in the world! I speak Spanish fluently, with an Argentinian accent, which makes it easy for me to connect with locals and experience the country in a more profound way.
My guides cover the popular tourist destinations but also places that are mostly visited by Argentinians and are not very well known yet among international tourists.
I've travelled through Patagonia for almost 2 months and gathered a lot of information that I'm happy to share with you now to make travel planning a lot easier and less stressful for you. Instead of putting hours and hours into research, my guides provide you with the best recommendations so that you have more time to lean back and enjoy.
My detailed guides cover the following destinations:
🔸Bariloche and the best spots around
🔸The best 3 hikes in and around Bariloche
🔸El Bolsón: A destination for hiking lovers and barely visited by international tourists
🔸El Chaltén: Argentina's Trekking Capital
🔸El Calafate: Discover the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier
🔸Ushuaia: the gateway to Antarctica with a hidden gem
Have fun reading🙂
