10. PAY HOMAGE TO PATAGONIA When it comes to wild, dramatic landscapes, Patagonia, straddling the southernmost parts of Chile and Argentina, has it down. Strike out on treks such as the ‘W’, in Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park. On the Argentina side a key focus is Los Glaciares, the country’s largest National Park. The expedition cruises that shuttle between Ushuaia, Argentina and Punta Arenas, Chile offer an a relaxed way to explore the area’s coasts and fjordlands.
