We’ve been keeping a secret, and it’s finally time to share. The Tillamook Chamber of Commerce is pulling back the curtain on our next group adventure. (Drum roll, please…) We’re heading to the heart of South America for an immersive journey through Santiago, Patagonia, and Buenos Aires!
Did you just gasp? Because we certainly did. This isn’t just a vacation; it’s a masterfully curated expedition. From the sophisticated pulse of urban culture to the rugged, untouched beauty of the wild, we’ve bridged the gap to bring you the ultimate bucket-list experience.
The Journey Highlights
The adventure begins with the electric energy of Chile’s capital, where you’ll take in the “buzz” of Santiago from the stunning heights of Cerro San Cristóbal. From there, we move south toward the end of the world. You’ll find moments of quiet reflection while walking the peaceful, historic paths of the Cemetery of Punta Arenas before heading into the heart of the wilderness.
Patagonia is the undisputed star of the show, and you will experience it from every angle. Imagine gazing up at the legendary sawtooth ridges of the Torres del Paine or feeling the cool air as you cruise alongside the towering, icy-blue walls of the Perito Moreno Glacier. To truly connect with the local heritage, you’ll join us for a proper parrilla feast at a traditional Patagonian estancia, savoring the authentic flavors of the region.
As we transition into Argentina, the adventure shifts from the craggy peaks of Los Glaciares National Parkto the vibrant, colorful streets of Buenos Aires. Here, you can dig into a warm empanada in the famous La Boca neighborhood, soaking in the tango and character that define the city.
