Chile
Puerto Varas is the jewel of Chile’s Lake District, a charming town of German-influenced architecture perched on the southern shore of Lago Llanquihue, South America’s second-largest lake.
Argentina
El Calafate is the tourist capital of Argentine Patagonia, positioned on the shores of turquoise Lago Argentino. While the town itself is a modern service hub with hotels, restaurants, and tour operators, the real draw lies 80 km west: Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the world's most accessible and dynamic ice masses.
Argentina
Ushuaia proudly claims the title of the world's southernmost city, nestled between the Beagle Channel and the snow-capped Martial Mountains. This remote port city of 80,000 inhabitants serves as gateway to Antarctica, but it's also a remarkable destination in its own right.
