2024-2025 Stanford Alumni Association Travel/Study Trips

---

For those who have done it, traveling the length of New Zealand’s North and South Islands remains one of the most memorable trips of their travel career because of the many wonders of this stunning, spectacular country: its snowy alpine peaks, shimmering glaciers, steaming thermal pools, unusual plants and animals, lush rain forests and cosmopolitan cities. 

We’ve arranged a full array of local experiences that will show you a New Zealand few travelers see, from privately guided tours of off-the-beaten-path venues to special winery tastings and discussions with regional experts. Bypass long drives flying aboard our private SAAB 340 to maximize our time exploring.

Embark on an adventure that takes your family to Argentina, through the astounding landscapes of Patagonia, and finally on to Santiago de Chile. Before taking in the ethereal glow emanating from the crevasses of vast glaciers, you’ll learn the art of empanadas and watch Argentinian gauchos demonstrate their superior horse skills.

This fun and well-paced trip includes educational and delicious dining experiences, museum visits, a minitrek across an actual glacier, and opportunities to take in both the modern and traditional, time-honored features these fascinating South American regions display across their beautiful cities and estancias.
