Our top types of tour
Personalised trekking trip
A recommendation for experienced and independent-minded trekkers, hike the top routes in both Chile and Argentina. Without a guide, this is best for couples and small groups looking to appreciate the Patagonian wilderness with economy and independence.
Our top tips are to combine the W Trek of Torres del Paine, with a visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier and three great days of hiking in Los Glaciares National Park. English-speaking guides will support you every step of the way.

Tailormade luxury holidays
Patagonia's luxury accommodation scene has blossomed in recent years, and even the wildest more remote places often have a secluded luxury lodge nestled into the scenery. Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, and seekers of that once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Your trip might take you to highlights or off-the-beaten-track escapes, all with top guides and private transportation so you can just sit back and soak up your surroundings. Whether your 'wow' factor comes from whale watching in Peninsula Valdes, a cruise along the fjords of Tierra del Fuego, or a helicopter flight over the Lake District, ask us how to add magic dust to make your trip spectacular.

You know the scenery isn't going to disappoint, so for me it's the little touches that make the big difference. A phenomenal fishing guide, a secret off-the-beaten track hike, a boutique hotel with a rooftop bar and private hot tub. These are the things that make a trip unforgettable.
