| Information about this itinerary: |
| Santiago (22 Hotels options in Santiago) |  | Santiago is an architectural collage of old Spanish colonial charm, European elegance, and North American suburbia, populated with five million amiable Chileans. However, the city lacks the Indian markets prevalent in other Andean countries. In the city's center there are pedestrian malls with cobblestone walkways lined with shopping galleries, fountains, cafes, movie theaters, ice cream shops, and banks. There is an intense activity in the arts and also an exciting nightlife. |
| Atacama Desert (13 Hotels options in Atacama Desert) |  | The town resembles a cross between a Pennsylvania mining town and an old frontier town of the Western US. San Pedro de Atacama was the most populated town in pre-Columbian times. Visit the outstanding Archaeology Museum, a must see in Chile. The Valley of the Moon is a mysterious valley, which turns brilliant colors and shimmers in the moonlight. The Pukara is a mountainside stone fortress built by the Atacama Indians. |
| Torres del Paine (6 Hotels options in Torres del Paine) |  | Torres del Paine National Park, declared Reserve of the Biosphere by Unesco in 1978, is the most important and internationally renowned highlight of the Chilean Patagonia.
In this beautiful, unspoiled and remote place of 181,000 hectares, the granite torres (towers) and cuernos (horns) have given world-wide fame to the Park. It also offers seclusion and adventure with spectacular scenery of mountain range, lakes, rivers and the pampa, which is home to the graceful guanaco (a relative of the llama) and the speedy ńandu (a variety of ostrich), while high above circles the ubiquitous condor.
The best season to visit the park is from October to April, which is Spring and Summer in the southern hemisphere. This season has more sunny days with less rain. |
| El Calafate - Lago Argentino (24 Hotels options in El Calafate - Lago Argentino) |  | El Calafate, the gateway to an impressive land of glaciers, became an inescapable stopover to begin discovering the impressive sights of Southern Patagonia. Located on the southern shore of Lago Argentino, the town has the ideal tourist facilities surrounded by pristine natural beauty. El Calafate is the base for all main excursions to Los Glaciares National Park and its spectacular attractions like the breathtaking Perito Moreno Glacier (one of the most visited in the world), The Upsala Glacier (the largest glacier in South America), and the Fitz Roy mountain. |
| Bariloche (18 Hotels options in Bariloche) |  | Bariloche, the most breathtaking natural environment Argentina has to offer, is located in the southern coast of Nahuel Huapi Lake, a 2 hour flight from Buenos Aires. This port town offers a singular variety of hotels and first class tourist facilities. The typical constructions of stone and wood are interwoven with the most modern architecture, thus giving the city a very special touch. Deep blue lakes, towering mountains, glaciers, climbing, boating, exploring, dining and just full relaxing make this an incomparable vacation destination. The scenery alone leaves most people breathless! |
| Buenos Aires (52 Hotels options in Buenos Aires) |  | One of the largest cities in the world, Buenos Aires is also the capital of the tango and football, the gaucho and the asados. In order to catch the spirit of Buenos Aires, walk along the streets in downtown to see its elegant shop windows, take a coffee in a sidewalk café, and visit the residential neighborhoods, where the old buildings alternate with the most modern constructions. This is a city with plenty to offer for all the tastes and tourist needs. |
