Luxury Patagonia Tours

Swoop can combine the very best of Patagonia's high-end lodges into a seamless itinerary with all transport, excursions and air travel taken care of. Combine the glistening lakes and smouldering volcanoes of the lake district with the fast flowing turquoise rapids of Aysen, the jagged granite peaks of Torres del Paine with the crashing glaciers of the fjords, all from a luxury base with great food and fine wine. We can tailor any trip to you so just let us know what is most important to you and our team of specialists will get crafting.

If you'd prefer to travel with a group but don't want to compromise on the level of accommodation that you stay in then we offer a range of “comfy” group tours. The accommodation could be categorised as upper mid-range with moderate activities throughout. The tours include a two week top to tail of Chile, a two week highlights trip of Argentina and a two week highlights trip of Patagonia. Although not staying in utter luxury, these tours pay close attention to the accommodation to ensure you have a lovely room in a quiet location, great service and where possible, some additional facilities.

Dotted across Patagonia are some extraordinary lodges set in totally unique locations with exquisite food, charming service, quaint Patagonian authentic decor with added touches like spa facilities, wood-burning hot tubs or even their own artisanal cheese factory. Whether you treat yourself for a few nights as part of a longer itinerary or seek out the very best in each location, they are individual, full of character in unique and simply breath-taking locations.

Luxury doesn't just mean sticking to the main tourist routes, it is still possible to access some truly hidden parts of Patagonia but not scrimp on comfort. Although the roads tend to be a little less forgiving and distances take longer to cover, off the main tourist trails you'll find some real undiscovered gems of Patagonia - remote fly fishing lodges, secluded estancias and private homes can all be combined to create an off-the-beaten-track luxury tailor-made adventure.

There are a number of cruises from which you can experience Patagonia but only two that could be considered a luxury experience - the Stella & Ventus Australis. Both ships cruise between Punta Arenas and Ushuaia on three & four night experiences taking in the fjords and glaciers of Southern Patagonia and Cape Horn. Although not a text book luxury cruise experience, they offer a level of service, organisation, gastronomy and comfort that is unrivalled in Patagonia.

Although not in Patagonia, there are a number of wine lodges close to Mendoza & Salta in Argentina and Santiago in Chile that make a great start or end to any trip to Patagonia.

The Colchagua Valley in Chile is home the Clos Apalta Residence (Lapostolle), a Relais & Chateux and the modern, extraordinary Vina Vik. Mendoza and Salta in Argentina combined house more than six luxury vineyard experiences with the Cavas Wine Lodge being recognised as a Relais & Chateux.
