End of the Earth

This 13-night small-group tour by G Adventures threads a path from the sophistication of Buenos Aires to the remote stretches at the southern tip of South America. The itinerary balances city life with remarkable wilderness, beginning with a cultural interlude in Argentina’s capital, followed by a full-day hike at Los Glaciares National Park near El Chaltén. Here, hikers can expect sweeping views of glaciers and rugged peaks.

The tour takes you closer to the colossal Perito Moreno Glacier, a moving river of ice framing the landscape with a sound like distant thunder as it calves. Next, three days in Torres del Paine National Park provide a chance to trek among distinctive granite spires and reflect on why the region charms serious outdoor enthusiasts. The route concludes with a visit to Ushuaia, often billed as the 'end of the earth,' where you might spot some local wildlife or contemplate the vastness of the southern oceans. Local mountain guides accompany the group, lending insight without overshadowing the raw impressions the land invites.
