PATAGONIA
Patagonia is terrain on a scale that reshapes your sense of the world — jagged granite spires, wind-carved valleys, and glaciers that calve into turquoise lakes. It's easy to see why this landscape has inspired legends, painters, and adventurers for generations.
No matter your pace, a journey to the bottom of the continent is one of South America's most rewarding trips — and one best experienced from a truly exceptional basecamp.
What To Do
Hiking & Trekking
Patagonia is a hiker's dream, whether you're out for a single spectacular day hike or several days moving deeper into the range. Towering peaks and glacial valleys unfold at every turn, from the granite spires of Torres del Paine to the dramatic profile of Monte Fitz Roy, widely considered one of the most beautiful mountains on Earth.
High-End Basecamps
The right lodge transforms a day of hiking into a full Patagonian experience. We partner with a select group of the region's finest properties — the kind with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the mountains, roaring fireplaces, and a hot meal waiting at the end of the trail. One standout partner is Patagonia Camp, a luxury glamping-style lodge set on the shores of Toro Lake near Torres del Paine.
Rafting
Patagonia's rivers are known worldwide for world-class rapids. Whether you're just dipping a toe in or building on serious rafting experience, there's a stretch of river here to match your skill level — each bend delivering another rush and another unforgettable view.
Mountain Biking
The same dramatic scenery that draws hikers makes for an equally thrilling backdrop on two wheels. Challenging climbs followed by exhilarating descents make this one of the finest mountain biking destinations south of the equator.
A Landscape Worth Protecting
Patagonia is one of the last truly wild places on Earth — a vast expanse of mountains, glaciers, rivers, and wildlife. The lodges and outfitters we partner with here understand the privilege of operating in a place like this, and many are actively engaged in its conservation, alongside a growing number of nonprofits working toward the same goal.
One of the leading efforts is Conservación Patagónica, founded by Kristine Tompkins, former CEO of the outdoor brand Patagonia. The organization's flagship project transformed 650,000 acres of former sheep ranchland in Chile's Chacabuco Valley into Patagonia National Park, now open to the public and managed by the Chilean park service — helping conserve the region's landscape while building a sustainable alternative to an economy historically dependent on ranching.
