Buenos Aires is a massive city, with loads of neighbourhoods to visit and so much to see and do! The wonderfully colourful neighbourhood right next to the old port of Buenos Aires, La Boca is synonymous with both tango and football. With its multi-coloured houses and taverns, the neighbourhood maintains its tango tradition, football passion, and Italian roots. Today, it is one of the most important cultural centres and tourist attractions in Buenos Aires. Take a walking tour, watch a match at the famous Boca stadium or attend a local tango show. San Telmo, the oldest residential neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, exudes a special historical vibe. As one of the most important centres during the 19th century, San Telmo has preserved many of Buenos Aires’ architectural landmarks, museums, antique shops and old churches. Puerto Madero is a new neighbourhood full of restaurants and bars. It's nice to walk there on a sunny day, the view is pretty nice. Vibrant, nostalgic, seductive and dynamic, Buenos Aires is a European city with a Latin-American twist. Without a doubt, a truly fascinating city.

Day 2

montevideo, uruguay

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 16:00

Montevideo, located on the east bank of the Rio de la Plata, is the delightful capital city of Uruguay. It's a modern and lively city with loads of interesting spots to visit, and some grand beaches nearby. In the Ciudad Vieja, the old colonial city, situated on one side of Bahia de Montevideo, is chock-full of stunning colonial buildings, Spanish style squares and a number of striking churches. The Casa Rivera and the Museo de Artes Decorativas are must-sees. At the heart of the district is the Plaza Independencia, with its palm-lined streets, and the somber Mausoleo Jose Artigas topped by a 30-ton statue of the country's hero. Close to Plaza Independencia you'll find the Palacio Salvo and the Puerta de la Ciudadela. Museum lovers will enjoy the collections of the Museo de la Historia del Arte and the Museo del Carnaval, which documents Montevideo's 100-year love affair with Carnaval. The Torre Antel offers cracking views of the city from the top. And be sure to take an evening to stroll along and admire the sunset from the Rambla along the coast. Montevideo is not only the main city of Uruguay; it is its brain and soul. A friendly spot, where you can still stroll with no rush, and everyone has time to have a coffee and a chat with a mate. Small buildings, several beaches, wooded parks and a lovely Old Town charm the visitors.

Day 6

port stanley, falkland is

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 19:00

The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean on the Patagonian Shelf. The main islands lie about 300 miles (480 kilometres) east of the southern Patagonian coast of South America and around 752 miles (1,210 kilometres) from the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, at roughly 52°S. Covering an area of about 4,700 square miles (12,000 square kilometres), the archipelago consists of East Falkland, West Falkland, and 776 smaller islands. As a British Overseas Territory, the Falklands have internal self-government, while the United Kingdom is responsible for defence and foreign affairs. The capital and largest settlement is Stanley, on East Falkland. The islands sit on the boundary between subantarctic oceanic and tundra climate zones, and both of the main islands have mountain ranges rising to about 2,300 feet (700 metres). They support large bird populations, although many species no longer breed on the main islands because of predation by introduced animals. The economy is based mainly on fishing, tourism, and sheep farming, with a particular focus on exporting high-quality wool.

Day 8

elephant island, antarctica

Arrival: 00:00 - Departure: 00:00

Elephant Island is the most arctic of the South Shetland Islands, in Antarctica. The name of the Elephant Island can be attributed both to its elephant-head shape, and to the first explorers, who sought to observe the elephant seals on its shores. The island is almost completely covered in glaciers. It is a migratory site for penguins including chinstraps in addition to sea elephants. The lack of secure anchorage prevented any permanent human settlement, although the island is well situated for scientific and fishing activities. The weather here is generally cloudy, with lots of snow and wind.

Day 14

puerto montt, chile

Arrival: 11:00 - Departure: 18:00

Situated at the gateway to Chilean Patagonia, Puerto Montt is a lively port city framed by snow‑capped volcanoes, deep blue fjords, and evergreen forests. While it’s often used as a jumping‑off point for destinations like Chiloé Island, the Carretera Austral, and the lakes district, the city itself offers a fascinating glimpse into life in southern Chile, with German‑influenced architecture, busy seafood markets, and a dramatic coastal setting on the Reloncaví Sound. Most visitors begin at Angelmó, the iconic waterfront market where fishing boats unload the day’s catch and stalls are packed with mussels, salmon, king crab, and sea urchin. Here you can tuck into hearty local dishes such as chupe de mariscos (seafood casserole) or caldillo de congrio (conger eel soup) in simple, family‑run eateries overlooking the water. Nearby craft markets sell woollens, wooden carvings, and other handmade souvenirs from the surrounding region. From the city centre, it’s easy to get out and explore the natural highlights that make this area so special. Day trips take you to the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes, the emerald waters and waterfalls of Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, and lakes like Llanquihue and Todos los Santos, ideal for walking, kayaking, and photography. Regular ferries and buses link Puerto Montt with the magical island of Chiloé, famous for its colourful palafito stilt houses and wooden UNESCO‑listed churches. Puerto Montt’s climate is cool and rainy all year round, so pack waterproof layers and be ready for changeable weather in any season. The city offers a range of places to stay, from budget hostels to comfortable hotels, and its modern bus station and airport make it a practical base for exploring further afield. Whether you use Puerto Montt as a brief stopover or as a base for multi‑day adventures, it’s an essential starting point for discovering Chile’s wild and beautiful south.

Day 16

san antonio - chile

Arrival: 06:00

San Antonio is a Chilean city and commune, and the capital of San Antonio Province in the Valparaíso Region. It is the centre of a fishing area that stretches along the Chilean coast from Rocas de Santo Domingo to Cartagena. Its port is the largest by volume of freight handled and the busiest on the western coast of South America. On the seafront of the city of San Antonio there is a promenade called “Paseo Bellamar” (the beautiful sea walk), a shopping centre called “Mall Arauco San Antonio”, and a casino called “Casino del Pacífico” (the casino of the Pacific), where you can see merchant ships, and the activities of the fishermen and dock workers. From here, and from the cove called “Caleta Pintor Pacheco Altamirano” (the cove of the painter Pacheco Altamirano), boat trips are offered around the bay of the port, and in the San Antonio fish market fish and shellfish are sold. There is also a national monument called “Grúa 82”, where it is possible to watch seals on the rock piles in the area. Another attraction is the Municipal Museum of Natural Sciences and Archaeology of San Antonio, with collections mainly dedicated to the native peoples who lived in the central coastal area of Chile, and to local wildlife. This museum contains huge skeletons of marine mammals, including that of a blue whale, a garden with native plant species, aquariums, and a rescue and rehabilitation centre for wild animals. Another important attraction is the panoramic viewpoint on the hill of Cristo del Maipo (Christ of Maipo), Centinela hill, and the 21st of May viewpoint. In the Llolleo area you can find the parade ground, also known as “La Plaza del Folclor” (the Plaza of Folklore), and the hilltop viewpoint of Cristo del Maipo. The craft village of Lo Gallardo is also an important attraction, as are the River Maipo, with its impressive river mouth that begins at the fishermen’s cove; the Leyda reservoir, with its abundant water birds; and the small village of Cuncumén, a typical Chilean rural town on the banks of the River Maipo.
