  • Days 1-3

    Santiago de Chile

    Start your journey in Chile's capital. Head up to Cerro San Cristóbal by funicular before 10 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy city views. Visit Plaza de Armas and the colorful Bellavista area with its street art. Plan your walking tours for the morning since Santiago heats up by midday. End your evenings in the trendy Lastarria district for dinner.

    
  • Day 4

    Santiago to Puerto Natales

    Take a morning flight to Punta Arenas (3.5 hours) and drive north to Puerto Natales (3 hours) through Patagonian landscapes. Make sure to get gas in Punta Arenas since stations are limited on the route. Stay near Manuel Bulnes street in Puerto Natales to be close to tour companies.

    
  • Days 5-7

    Torres del Paine National Park

    Use Puerto Natales as your base. Leave at 7 AM for the Torres Base hike, which takes about 8 hours round trip. Bring plenty of layers since the weather changes quickly. Take the Grey Glacier boat tour on Day 6 but book early as spots fill up fast. If the weather is good on Day 7, explore the French Valley.

    
  • Days 8-11

    Ushuaia

    Take the bus from Puerto Natales to Ushuaia (12 hours including border crossing). Pack snacks and warm clothes for the ride. Visit the End of the World Train and Tierra del Fuego National Park. Schedule your Beagle Channel cruise for morning when the water is calmer. Take time to hike Martial Glacier for great views of the channel.

    
  • Days 12-15

    Buenos Aires

    Fly to Buenos Aires (4 hours) to explore neighborhoods like San Telmo and Palermo. The city is most active at night, so plan accordingly. Reserve your spot at a tango show well in advance, especially at popular venues like Café Tortoni. A recent visitor noted: "The Sunday market in San Telmo is incredible, but get there by 10 AM before tourist crowds arrive. The best antiques are found early."

    
  • Day 16

    Departure

    Plan to leave for Ezeiza Airport at least 4 hours before your flight. The drive from downtown takes about an hour but Buenos Aires traffic can be unpredictable.
