With almost two weeks there’s enough time to enjoy scenic tours of both the Argentine and Chilean regions of Patagonia. One option for active adventurers is to embark on a self-guided hike around the mountain trails running through the national parks of Chile’s scenic Lake District. Or you could venture deeper into Chilean Patagonia and visit with both Humboldt and Magellanic penguins followed by a trip around unspoiled fjords and glaciers. Another idea is a trip to Argentina’s far south to visit penguin colonies while touring the famous Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego, located at the end of the continent.
