  • Days 1-2

    Ushuaia, Argentina

    Start your journey in the world's southernmost city. Visit Tierra del Fuego National Park in the morning before the tour buses arrive. Board your ship in the afternoon for the journey through the Beagle Channel. As one traveler noted: "The Expedition Crew were amazing and the departure from Ushuaia port was incredibly organized."

    
  • Days 3-4

    Drake Passage

    Get ready for the Drake Passage crossing. Take motion sickness medications and drink plenty of water. The ship's stabilizers help with the rolling motion. You can join daily educational talks about Antarctic wildlife and history. Head to the deck to spot albatross and whales following the ship.

    
  • Days 5-6

    South Shetland Islands & Antarctic Peninsula

    Your Antarctic adventure begins with early morning Zodiac departures. You'll need waterproof pants and expedition boots for landings. A past visitor shared: "The Zodiac outings were excellent with so much wildlife to see. Worth getting up early for the sunrise views." Get ready to see gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguins up close.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Push South to Antarctic Circle

    If weather allows, you'll navigate through ice-filled channels toward the Antarctic Circle. Bring extra camera batteries for the stunning tabular icebergs. Look for leopard seals on ice floes and humpback whales during Zodiac cruises. This southern route is a less-traveled part of Antarctica.

    
  • Days 9-11

    Antarctic Peninsula Exploration

    You'll have three full days to explore the peninsula's west coast. Listen for glaciers calving into the sea. Most days include two landings when weather permits. You can try the polar plunge if you're brave enough. The expedition team picks the best spots based on weather and ice conditions.

    
  • Days 12-13

    Drake Passage Return

    The journey north gives you time to organize photos and attend final lectures. Watch for whales from the observation deck. Pack your belongings securely for the crossing.

    
  • Day 14

    Ushuaia

    Arrive early morning in port. Transfer to the airport or central Ushuaia. If you have a later flight, store your luggage and check out the town's chocolate shops and Antarctic museums.

• 14 Days in Argentina, incl. Buenos Aires and Iguazú Falls

  • Days 1-3

    Buenos Aires:

    Land at Ezeiza International Airport in the afternoon to skip the worst traffic into the city. Your first few days are perfect for exploring Buenos Aires' unique neighborhoods. Visit Recoleta to see its grand architecture and famous cemetery (bring cash for entry), check out Palermo's vibrant street art, and spend an authentic evening in Boedo learning to make empanadas with locals. Add a tango class in the early evening when classes are less busy. Book your tango lessons 2-3 days ahead since popular studios fill up fast.

    
  • Days 4-7

    Iguazú Falls Region:

    Catch a morning flight to Puerto Iguazú (2 hours). Start with the Argentine side of the falls, which needs more walking time but gets you closer to the action. Set aside 5-6 hours to walk all three circuits - Lower, Upper and Devil's Throat. Head to Devil's Throat first thing in the morning before the crowds and heat arrive. For the Brazilian side, bring your passport and get there early since viewing platforms get packed by mid-morning. The nearby Bird Park makes a good addition to your Brazilian falls visit. Take a trip to Puerto Bemberg nature reserve, about 45 minutes from Iguazú. You can swim in the clear waters near Yasy Falls during the boat ride. Pack quick-dry clothes and water shoes since the rocks get slippery. The San Ignacio Jesuit ruins take a full day with 7 hours of driving, but their well-preserved 17th-century architecture makes the journey worthwhile.

    
  • Days 8-10

    Iberá Wetlands:

    Getting to Rincón del Socorro lodge takes 5-7 hours on gravel roads. Start early and bring motion sickness medicine if you need it. You'll be rewarded with access to one of South America's largest wetlands, where you can spot rewilded giant anteaters and pampas deer. Activities change with the weather but usually include boat trips to see caiman and capybaras, horseback riding, and night safaris. Pack bug spray and quick-dry clothes for the humid, insect-rich environment.

    
  • Days 11-14

    Buenos Aires:

    Back in Buenos Aires, dive deeper into the city's culture. Take the historic district tour in the morning when Plaza de Mayo is quiet. Spend your final days at San Telmo's antique markets (best on Sundays) and La Boca's colorful Caminito street. Stay in the main tourist areas of La Boca for safety. Book afternoon flights out of Buenos Aires to avoid morning traffic stress. The airport drive takes 45-90 minutes depending on traffic.

  • Days 1-3

    Buenos Aires:

    Give yourself time to adjust to the local schedule in the capital. Visit Plaza de Mayo early on day 2 before crowds gather. The iconic pink Casa Rosada opens at 10 AM. San Telmo's antique market is best on Sunday mornings but watch your belongings as pickpockets are common. Skip the tourist tango shows and experience the real thing at a local milonga in Almagro neighborhood after 11 PM.

    
  • Days 4-5

    Iguazu Falls:

    Take a 2-hour morning flight to Puerto Iguazu. Start with the Brazilian side for the best wide-angle views but get your visa beforehand. On the Argentine side, catch the first 8 AM train to Devil's Throat to avoid the crowds. Bring a waterproof bag for your camera since the mist reaches everywhere on the upper walkways.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Mendoza:

    Stay in Chacras de Coria, a quiet suburb 20 minutes from Mendoza city with good winery access. Book your winery visits early. Popular spots like Catena Zapata need advance reservations. Plan tastings between 10 AM and 2 PM to avoid peak afternoon heat. Biking through the Maipu wine region is fun but stick to marked wine routes for safety.

    
  • Days 8-10

    Bariloche:

    A 2-hour flight brings you to the Lake District. Take the Cerro Campanario chair lift first thing for the best morning photos of the lakes. The Circuito Chico offers a perfect mix of lake views and forest walks. For authentic local chocolate, skip the tourist shops and visit Mamuschka instead.

    
  • Days 11-13

    El Calafate & Perito Moreno:

    Fly 3 hours south to Patagonia. Pack layers for Perito Moreno Glacier since temperatures change quickly. Book the glacier mini-trek at least a month ahead. A recent visitor shared: "The sound of the glacier calving is incredible - like thunder. Stay on the walkways until at least 4 PM to increase your chances of seeing it."

    
  • Day 14

    Departure:

    Choose afternoon flights from El Calafate to avoid morning fog delays. The small airport gets busy with tour groups so arrive 2 hours before international flights.
