Patagonian Wildlife Adventure

15 Days

This adventure-packed trip combines marine wildlife with mountains and walking. Travelling by rigid inflatable boat into the Strait of Magellan, you'll witness the antics of sealions, watch dolphins swimming alongside, visit a Magellanic penguin nesting site, and hopefully see humpback whales breaching in Chile's first ever marine park. To cap this experience, you then spend a few days in the peerless landscapes of Torres del Paine National Park, with a full programme of walks and excursions to get the best out of this magical area.
