Join your guide to see some of the city's formidable landmarks: Plaza de Mayo, the Casa Rosada, the Cabildo and the Metropolitan Cathedral. Gather for welcome cocktails and dinner at one of the best local restaurants in Buenos Aires, located within walking distance of your hotel. Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires B D

Days 5-6
Cruise to Cape Horn, where the Atlantic meets the Pacific at the southern tip of the continent, and see the spectacular "Avenue of Glaciers" and the Strait of Magellan. Daily programs may change depending on weather and ice conditions, but wildlife viewing is exceptional.

Day 7

Day 8
Look for guanaco and ñandú, as well as other local species en route to your lodge, built on the shores of Lake Pehoé at Torres del Paine National Park. The park is one of South America's newest nature reserves and boasts the world's most stunning array of mountains, glaciers, lakes and forest. As a centerpiece of the rugged region, the hallmark granite cuernos (horns) and torres (towers) thrust abruptly skyward from the flat pampa. At their feet, the turquoise, emerald and aquamarine lakes provide the perfect contrast. Explora en Patagonia Lodge B L D
