Patagonia is one of the most stunning, diverse, and sparsely populated places on earth. Shared by Argentina and Chile, it is known for its pristine wilderness, magnificent snow-capped peaks, dramatic granite spires, sparkling lakes, and immense glaciers. On this 17 day trip, we have picked out the places that will stay in your memory forever: the breathtaking mountain environs of Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park, and Tierra del Fuego, the Land of Fire at the southernmost tip of the continent. $4325  Rating: 1  2  [3] [4]   5

This is the 100th anniversary of the rediscovery of Machu Picchu by Hiram Bingham! One of the most magical and mysterious places on Earth, it is situated on the spine of a jungle cloaked granite peak towering some 2,000 ft. above the roaring river below. And yet there is much more of Incan culture and history to explore than this one place. Staying in remote mountain lodges, we trek along an ancient Incan Trail (not "The" Incan Trail), over high passes and below towering peaks, beyond the crowded guidebook trails, and into the authentic heart of the Incan empire. At the end we visit Machu Picchu, the crowning glory of the Incas. $3950  Rating: 1  2  3  4/5
