Railway Adventures offers a 22-day escorted journey through Patagonia combining trains, cruises, and land-based exploration across Chile and Argentina. The tour departs Santiago and concludes in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, passing through some of South America's most dramatic terrain. Travelers ride historic trains including the Tren del Fin del Mundo, traverse the scenic Carretera Austral with its fjord crossings, complete an Andean crossing, and visit Torres del Paine National Park's granite peaks. Along the way, the route takes in snow-capped mountains, glistening glaciers, and coastal vistas around Cape Horn. Guided by Rail South America specialists, this tour suits repeat rail travelers and photographers seeking remote Patagonian landscapes combined with the comfort of organized group travel and escorted activities. The high activity level means participants should be prepared for demanding days.
