Group welcome and vehicle pick-up.

Time to prepare and adjust your gear, go over the light plan for the days ahead and, if the afternoon allows, a first walk along Lago Argentino.

Accommodation: Xelena Hotel & Suites

Early departure to catch the first light along Lago Argentino.

The walkways place us before a 70-meter wall of ice that calves with a thunderous roar: a whole morning to wait for the moment of collapse.

Telephoto for the detail, wide angle for the scale.

Accommodation: Xelena Hotel & Suites

Scenic transfer to El Chaltén, the trekking capital.

We save the afternoon for sunset over Fitz Roy from the Río de las Vueltas viewpoints, when the granite turns pink.

Accommodation: Los Cerros del Chaltén

A moderate hike to Laguna Capri, where Fitz Roy is reflected without the effort of the Laguna de los Tres climb.

All around, the lenga forests in full autumn red.

At sunset, back to the Río de las Vueltas.

Accommodation: Los Cerros del Chaltén

Sunrise with the peaks ablaze.

In the morning, an optional boat trip to the Viedma glacier to photograph icebergs at water level.

In the afternoon, return to El Calafate.

Accommodation: Xelena Hotel & Suites

We cross the border at Cerro Castillo and drive straight into Torres del Paine National Park.

First views of the Horns and check-in on the western side, our landscape base.

Accommodation: Pampa Lodge

A full day of landscape: Lake Grey and its drifting icebergs, Salto Grande, the Paine Massif viewpoints and the entrance to the French Valley.

Sunset over the Horns closes the day.

Accommodation: Pampa Lodge

Last shots in the west of the park and transfer to Puerto Natales, on the shore of the fjord.

An afternoon to rest and prepare the gear: tomorrow we rise early for the highlight of the trip.

Accommodation: Simple Patagonia

Pre-dawn departure with a specialized wildlife photography operator and trackers who know every animal.

A full day tracking the wild puma in its habitat, in the light of dawn and dusk, the hours when the cat moves.

Expert guide, trackers, vehicle and a field lunch.

The drive back into Argentina by a direct route, with the border crossing and the last landscapes of Patagonian steppe.

Night in El Calafate.

Breakfast and transfer to El Calafate airport.

End of the expedition, with full memory cards and, almost certainly, the urge to come back.
