Patagonia Holidays

As you venture to the southern tip of South America, the untameable spirit of Patagonia beckons. Stretching across Argentina and Chile, experience the unforgettable fusion of adventure and luxury with a Patagonia trip.

Chilean Patagonia is a place of raw beauty and dramatic contrasts. It is a vast region where granite peaks, ancient forests, glaciers and windswept plains stretch towards the edge of the continent. This remote corner of the world is best known for Torres del Paine National Park, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and one of the most remarkable trekking destinations in South America.

Reaching Patagonia can be done by road from El Calafate in Argentina or via domestic flight into Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas. From here, you’ll have easy access to Torres del Paine’s distinctive landscapes, from the towering Cuernos to the icy waters of Lago Grey. The nearby town of Puerto Natales is a convenient base for excursions to the Serrano and Balmaceda glaciers, and a good stop before heading deeper into the national park.

Further north, the Aysén region offers a wilder and less-visited side of Patagonia. Here you’ll find alpine lakes, remote fjords, hanging glaciers and very few people. It’s ideal for those seeking multi-day adventures: kayaking, rafting, hiking on a Patagonia walking holiday even road-tripping the 1,240-kilometre Carretera Austral. This scenic highway runs from Puerto Montt to Villa O’Higgins and is one of the best ways to experience Patagonia’s untouched landscapes.
