How do I travel to Patagonia?
Getting to Patagonia
Flying is practically unavoidable on a Patagonia vacation – international flights arrive into Buenos Aires (Argentina) or Santiago (Chile) from where you’ll need to catch a connection south. The alternative is a 24-hour or more journey by road which is less than ideal in the time-frame of most annual leave-constrained trips.If you want to avoid too many flights, however, you’ll need to pick one part of Patagonia and stick to it, with the region around El Calafate, Los Glaciares National Park and Torres del Paine National Park a popular option. This area encompasses some of Patagonia’s most classic scenery all within a few hours’ drive.
Getting around Patagonia
South America specialists offering bespoke tours will be able to arrange quality car hire at Patagonia’s gateway airports, and the for the most part paved, easy to navigate main roads make self-drive vacations a popular option here. With no rail service, Argentina and Chile’s buses otherwise take the strain for long journeys on some tailormade tours, and they are usually comfortable and of excellent quality. The far south is no exception and traveling by bus in Patagonia offers a similar level of independence as car hire, without the need to get behind the wheel.Alternatively, small group specialists will take you on a guided tour of the region accompanied by a local guide who will be able bring to life the culture, wildlife and history of Patagonia as you travel. Using a mixture of private and public transport – and dependent on the itinerary several domestic flights - these tours are ideal for solo travelers, or if you’re sociable and like the convenience of having everything arranged for you.
Walking in Patagonia
Wildlife in Patagonia
Right at the far tip of the continent the nutrient-rich cold waters of the iconic Beagle Channel , which pass the edge of Tierra del Fuego National Park, support colonies of Magallenic penguins, as well as fur seals, beavers and a plethora of water birds.
Wherever you travel in Patagonia you won’t escape the curious, haughty gaze of herds of guanaco, a wild cousin of the llama and alpaca, while puma wander the more remote reaches of Torres del Paine National Park, which is also home to Andean grey fox and the endangered Chilean huemul deer. Look skywards among the mountains and you might be lucky enough to spot Andean condors rising gracefully on thermal currents. Pack good binoculars for the best views.
