2. Have the Ultimate Honeymoon Adventure
This is a great destination for romantic couples, but it is also welcoming adrenaline seekers who want both romance and adventure from their honeymoon in Patagonia. Prepare yourselves to explore stunning parks, mountains, lakes, and, of course, the dramatic glaciers of Torres del Paine.
And that is not all. To get the adrenaline rush of your dreams, admire the scenic views while participating in a boat tour across Grey Lake, navigate around the glaciers or adventure into a memorable kayaking experience.

3. Catch a Glimpse of the Amazing Wildlife
Whether you are animal lovers or just curious travelers, the charming and sociable guanacos will conquer your heart. They are an important part of the Patagonian landscapes, so you will be able to admire them almost everywhere. In addition, you will have the chance to see caracas, ñandús, condors, and ferocious pumas.
But if you want to make your honeymoon in Patagonia even more special, visit Puerto Madryn, Argentina’s prime location for whale watching. Depending on when you plan your sweet escape, you can admire these sensational mammals or go straight to Punta Tombo, where you can visit the largest Magellan penguin colony in South America. Both experiences will end with amazing stories.

4. Indulge in a Romantic Cruise
If you love adventures, but you are also an incurable romantic who enjoys luxurious treats as much as wildlife, a cruise through the Patagonian icy waters is perfect for you. You can enjoy the breathtaking landscapes from the comfort of your watercraft, book special trips, relax on the deck, and indulge in delicious meals served on board.
There are plenty of itineraries to choose from, and each of them comes with many unforgettable surprises.
