/24-7PressRelease/ - April 05, 2007 - Argentina and Chile share one of the most famed and majestic wildernesses in the world, Patagonia. With 15 national parks and stretching over a surface area of over a million square kilometers, Patagonia is generally considered the area of South America south of the 40° parallel. South of the Strait of Magellan is known collectively as Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire) and the Chilean Patagonia has three zones: the Lake Region, and Patagonia North and South, separated by the Southern Ice Field. This ice zone, which Chile and Argentina share, is the largest after the ice fields of the Arctic. Argentine Patagonia stretches from Buenos Aires to the southern tip of the country, ranging from the western Andes to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. Throughout Patagonia, visitors marvel at its untouched nature with deep valleys, volcanoes, lakes, forests and glaciers. Intelligent Leisure Solutions, an internet-based travel solutions company that specializes in Central and South America now offers the adventurous luxury traveler an exclusive 15 day / 14 night land travel and cruise package in Argentinean Patagonia (www.ils3.com/vacation-packages/south-america/argentina/cruise/54/summary/). The package begins with the sights and sounds of romantic Buenos Aires and then takes you deep within remote Patagonia for trekking to the bases of incredible summits, traveling throughout valleys, and exploring glaciers that offer access to magnificent landscapes. All this natural beauty and adventure is complimented by award-winning hotels nestled in the mountains and intimate luxury cruise ships serving as your home base to explore a fabled paradise.
The Argentinean Patagonia journey begins with the charm and passion of Buenos Aires, a unique city that mixes European elegance with Latin American passion. City tours take you to all the most famous and notable sights in the city, including the Colon Opera House. You will embark upon train and boat rides to explore the city and experience the romance and drama of the tango firsthand. After four night's luxury accommodation in Buenos Aires at the five-star Alvear Palace Hotel, member of the prestigious Leading Hotels of the World group, the adventure moves southward to Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego National Park. There you will set sail in small cruise ships to traverse the Beagle Channel with one of the best views of the southernmost city in the world. Stops at Sea Lion and Bird Islands, as well as the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse punctuate the voyage with a final stop at the Magellan Penguin colony.
During your stay in Ushuaia, luxury accommodations are provided at the Tierra de Leyendas Hotel. On the sixth day of your journey, you embark upon a luxury cruise aboard the M/V Mare Australis, one of the premier cruise ships that serve the Patagonia region. For the next four days, you will travel through spectacular channels to visit the Cape Horn National Park, go for hikes near the Günter Plushow Glacier, and experience the wonders of Magdalena Island, home to an enormous penguin colony with over 120,000 members in different stages of development. After the cruise on the Mare Australis, you return to land and the Torres Del Paine National Park, which was declared Biosphere World Reserve by UNESCO in 1978, as well as El Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park, known world-wide for the spectacular breaking of the ice. You will journey to Onelli Bay and go for a short walk through the forest where the Onelli, Bolados, Agassiz and Heim glaciers meet. During the hike you traverse beautiful landscapes with a variety of shapes and colors reflecting in the immense icebergs detached from Upsala Glacier. The glacier expedition continues to Spegazzini Glacier, remarkable for its high walls reaching 110 mt. Watch for condors soaring high above you as you hike throughout this incredible national park.
Throughout your journey, bilingual guides and professional Patagonia experts accompany you on your tours, giving you an educational and informative background for your sight-seeing. This 15 day / 14 night Buenos Aires and Patagonia package is the perfect balance of sophisticated luxury travel and adventurous exploration in a pristine paradise.
