Dear Alumnae and Friends,

Travel with Smith on an exclusive 17-day journey in Argentina and Chile. On this special small group journey, you will visit vibrant cities, explore stunning national parks, and cruise to iconic Cape Horn.

Your odyssey begins in Buenos Aires, the lively capital of Argentina, with comprehensive sightseeing. Then fly south to Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost urban center, and board the M/V Ventus Australis to begin your four-night exploration of the channels and glaciers of southern Chile. Visit Magdalena Island, home to an immense colony of Magellanic penguins, and take a shore excursion to Garibaldi Glacier. You’ll then travel overland and discover the wonders of Torres del Paine National Park, one of the most unspoiled and spectacular nature preserves on Earth. A two-night stay in Chile’s Lake District includes visits to Osorno Volcano and Petrohué Waterfalls in Vicente Rosales National Park. Your tour concludes with two days in the Chilean capital of Santiago.

This air-inclusive journey is exclusive to Smith and limited to just 24 travelers. Our small group size enables us to move flexibly, enjoy spontaneous encounters, and foster a sense of Smith camaraderie. Call today to secure your space on this exceptional tour!

Warm regards,

Elizabeth Bigwood Director, Smith Travel
