Patagonia Train Tours

20+ Years Designing Patagonia Tours

Patagonia train tours offer a rare chance to experience the region’s vast landscapes through historic and scenic railways. From narrow-gauge heritage lines to short but iconic routes, train journeys in Patagonia highlight a slower, more atmospheric way to explore southern Argentina and Chile.

Historic & Scenic Train Journeys in Patagonia

Some of Patagonia’s most memorable rail experiences include the legendary La Trochita (Old Patagonia Express) near Esquel and the famous End of the World Train in Ushuaia, originally built to serve the region’s earliest settlements. These routes travel through remote steppe, forests, and mountain landscapes that are difficult to appreciate any other way.

Train journeys pair naturally with broader Patagonia tours, whether combined with lake crossings near Bariloche, overland travel through Argentina and Chile, or extended itineraries including national parks and lodges. We can also incorporate select rail journeys in Chile, such as scenic routes between Temuco, Talca, and Constitución, into a fully custom Patagonia itinerary.
