Luxury Patagonia holiday, tailor made

Planet

This is a sustainably designed luxury itinerary to allow our guests to explore Patagonia’s most extraordinary landscapes while supporting the people and places that make the region so special.

Visits to protected areas such as Tierra del Fuego National Park and Torres del Paine National Park include park entry fees, which directly fund conservation of landscapes and wildlife. We focus on low-impact activities such as walking tours and hikes, small-group excursions to minimise carbon emissions, reduce the number of vehicles and ease visitor pressure on sensitive sites.

Throughout these experiences, expert local guides share insights on the fragile ecosystems visited and offer practical tips for responsible travel, helping guests understand the local challenges and how to minimise their footprint.

People

People are at the heart of everything we do. Our local partners train guides annually on safety protocols, service, destinations, and responsible travel, ensuring they are equipped to make a positive impact. Experiences such as hiking, boat navigations, and wildlife watching are led by certified local guides, providing skilled employment and keeping cultural knowledge alive.

In this itinerary we have consciously chosen hotels and lodges that actively contribute to the local culture and community through various initiatives. For example:

- Legado Mitico immerses its guests in Argentine Culture through the hotels thematic design, showcasing iconic Argentine figures such as Eva Person and Jorge Luis Borges. It also has no restaurant and is perfectly located within range to a wide range of gastronomic options encouraging guests to go out and explore and have an authentic local experience.
- Los Cauquenes, utilizes local materials through its design supporting regional tourism, employs staff from the local community and sources fresh produce from the area, keeping money within the region.
- Tierra Patagonia, has a strong commitment to social responsibility, employing its staff from the local region, sourcing local produce and celebrating Patagonia’s heritage throughout the hotel’s interior design. A range of excursions have also been created to share with its guests the local customs and traditions of Patagonia. For example, the Hunters Trail focuses on the Indigenous Aonikenk culture, a vital part of Patagonia's heritage or a horseback ride with local Chilean gauchos lets guests experience real Patagonian culture.
