Rhapsody in blue
Das »Ende der Welt« wird häufig zitiert, wenn nichts mehr zu erwarten ist. Wie man
sich doch täuschen kann. Denn wenn das Ende der Welt kurz vor der Antarktis liegt, in
diesen atemberaubenden Landschaften zwischen Feuerland und Patagonien, diesem
Rausch an überwältigenden Farben und Formen, dann ist das »Ende« der Anfang
einer neuen Liebe.

Day-to-day-Itinerary:
Day 1
Buenos Aires
Bienvenidos! Welcome to Argentina! Please make sure you arrive on day 1 by 3 pm, in time for the first
group meeting. Please have lunch prior to the meeting as we'll head out on our first activity straight
afterwards. Your leader will leave a note at reception telling you where this important meeting will take
place. Please ask a member of reception for this information. If you are intending to hire a sleeping bag for
our nights in the Torres del Paine National Park please let your leader know at this meeting. In the
afternoon your tour leader will take you for an approximately 2 hour orientation walk around some of
Buenos Aires' main attractions. In the evening you have the option of going out for a group dinner. Buenos
Aires must be the ultimate cosmopolitan city. With Latin passion, European elegance and a distinctive style,
this is a city that will steal your heart. The Portenos (the local residents) are justifiably proud of their city
which is comprised of distinct 'barrios' (neighbourhoods), each with their own style. Visit San Telmo for its
weekend antiques market and artists' displays. La Boca was settled by waves of immigrants that built
brightly painted buildings. It is also home to the world-class football team Boca Juniors and murals of
famous footballers cover the district's walls. Recoleta is the place to browse museums with Buenos Aires'
well-to-do. When you have finished exploring, settle down at one of the many streetside cafes and prepare
yourself for a night of tango at one of the many milongas. If you arrive to Buenos Aires before day 1, there
are plenty of galleries, museums and historic buildings to keep you entertained. On the east side of the
Plaza de Mayo you will find the Casa Rosada, the pink presidential palace where Eva Peron appeared on the
balcony in front of adoring fans in the 1940s. There is also a Museo Evita, dedicated to the life (and gowns)
of this famed figure. MALBA is an incredible art gallery showcasing a private collection, including works by
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and great temporary exhibits.

Day 8
Torres del Paine National Park
Sitting at the end of the earth is the awe inspiring Chilean Patagonia. Few people have the opportunity to
see this area and those who do find it difficult to forget. Once a sheep estancia, the park was established in
1959. This is magnificent trekking country where nandues, condors and pink flamingos abound. Upon
arriving in the park you will most likely be greeted by a herd of guanacos, relatives of alpacas. These strange
animals provide great photo opportunities but don't get too close; they're likely to spit at you. There's also
some of the world's best trout and salmon fishing. The real star of the show, however, is the magnificent
landscape. With sparkling lakes, gushing waterfalls, glaciers and striking mountains, much of our time
trekking is spent slack-jawed in awe of our surrounds. The most popular trek in this area is locally known as
"Base Las Torres" (The Tower's base), your leader will recommend when to take this hike, depending on
weather conditions. Another available hike is towards "Refugio Los Cuernos" (The Horns' Lodge). This trek is
long, but it has excellent views of this particular section of the park also known as "Los Cuernos del Paine"
(The Horns).
Included meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner
The treks are moderate to difficult along clearly marked trails and we will usually hike between 5-8 hours
Seite 7 von 13per day. Weather in Patagonia is an important factor to consider - be prepared for cold, wet and windy
