ODYSSEYS UNLIMITED: THE SMALL GROUP TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

coach to Puerto Natales, gateway to Torres del Paine National Park on the shores of Ultima Esperanza Sound. B,L,D

Day 8: Serrano and Balmaceda Glaciers We experience southern Chile’s glacier region on today’s excursion. Our day cruise takes us through more stunning Patagonian scenery, as we navigate between snow-capped mountains and walls of ice to reach the massive glaciers, where we enjoy fabulous views and photo opportunities. We watch as the ice seems to tumble down the mountainsides and into the bays below (and in fact often does, in a process called calving).

Then we enjoy lunch at a local estancia as we return to Puerto Natales. Dinner tonight is on our own. B,L

Day 9: Puerto
Natales/Torres del
Paine This morn-
ing we make the
two-hour drive
north into Torres
del Paine, a breath-
taking 700-square-
mile national park
and UNESCO
reserve. After
reaching our hotel
and having lunch
together, we set out
on a short hike; the
rugged beauty of our surroundings gives us a preview
of what’s in store over the next two days. Tonight we
dine together at our hotel, as we will throughout our
stay here. B,L,D

Day 10: Torres del Paine National Park Today
marks our first full day in Torres del Paine, one of
the most unspoiled and beautiful nature preserves on
Earth. We spend the day exploring this unparalleled
landscape of jagged peaks, ice-blue glaciers, turquoise
lakes, rushing rivers, and thunderous waterfalls. We
also visit magnificent Lago Grey, which is fed by the
glacier of the same name in the Southern Patagonia
Ice Field. B,L,D

Day 11: Torres del Paine National Park Our second day of exploration in the park features Laguna Amarga, Laguna Azul, and Cascade Rio Paine, along with resident wildlife. B,L,D

Day 12: Torres del Paine/Santiago We trade our natural surroundings for the bustling urban heart of Chile today, as we travel by coach to Punta Arenas then board a 3.5-hour flight to the Chilean capital of Santiago. We reach our hotel early this evening; dinner tonight is on our own in this cosmopolitan city with a lively culinary scene. B,L

Day 13: Santiago This morning we get acquainted with Santiago on a panoramic city tour. Chile’s largest city and the capital since colonial times, Santiago boasts an impressive diversity of architecture, a view of the majestic Andes, and a vibrant cultural atmosphere.

After time for lunch on our own, we visit one of the many wineries that surround the city for a tour and tasting. Tonight we celebrate our Patagonian sojourn over a farewell dinner at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 14: Santiago/Depart for U.S. After a morning at leisure, this afternoon we visit Bellavista, Santiago’s colorful bohemian barrio where poet Pablo Neruda once lived. There’s time to explore on our own before we transfer to the airport for our overnight flights to the U.S. B
