Travel guides
Let us introduce you to what is perhaps the most romantic stretch of Latin America.
Be part of a pack on your next outing. These small group walks promise fun and friendship on the trail.
Holiday information
Small group tour, ideal for solos & couples:
Small group travel is not large group travel scaled down. It is modeled on independent travel – but with the advantage of a group leader to take care of the itinerary, accommodation and tickets, and dealing with the language. It’s easy to tick off the big sights independently – but finding those one-off experiences, local festivals, travelling markets and secret viewpoints is almost impossible for someone without the insider knowledge gained from years in the field. For those with limited time, a small group tour will save valuable time in planning, and on holiday.
Diet:
We can cater for vegetarians on this holiday. Sadly we cannot offer vegan food.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Every day was so different, but the first day trekking in Torres del Paine to the base of the towers was a great first day. You really do get 4 seasons in one day,
we had sunshine and snow! Our tour guide Tomas really made the whole trip amazing, his passion for Patagonia and trekking, his knowledge and general
banter (he really doesn't stop talking!) made the trip really memorable. We also had fantastic trekking guides for the 4 days in Torres del Paine.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The trip notes are reasonably accurate. Pack lots of layers and good waterproofs, the weather is very changeable. Hiking poles and gaiters were useful. Pack
light for the 4 days in Chile (one set of clothes to walk in and one set for the huts at night). The huts are very good, you don't need a sleeping bag or torch, there
are showers, but often the soap/shampoo had run out so pack your own. Take ear plugs! The lunches provided were substantial, but some extra muesli bars
were useful. You can take a bottle of wine to the first hut as you are there for 2 nights, buy in the supermarket in El Calafate. Take some pesos and some USD,
you can use either in most places and a lot of places also take credit cards. The walks aren't too challenging, there are a couple of long days and the weather
impacts on the difficulty, but if you're used to walking with a pack and have done a bit of strength training prior (as per the training schedule) then it's fine.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Our guides were very conservation conscious, with advice to keep to the tracks, take all rubbish away with you, and not feeding any animals. They were very
respectful of the national parks and nature.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
A totally amazing experience!
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
CARBON REDUCTIONHotels in Patagonia mostly use renewable energies - most use partial or full solar panel energy.
We aim to secure locally owned accommodation that is well located, offers good value for money, and plenty of comfort. The accommodation in Torres del Paine arranges packed lunches for our trekking days. There is a variety of good quality food in local restaurants and cafes that can cater to a variety of restricted diets, with slightly more limited options available at the refugios in Torres del Paine due to the remote nature of these locations.
Vegetarians can be accommodated throughout the trip.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
Argentina and Chile Tourist Industry are promoting public transport, cycling, walking, and electric vehicles.Accommodations we use reduce waste generation and try to maximize recycling efforts. There has been a big change in the country from fossil fuels to solar or wind and incentivise sustainable transport. Better forests responsibly to prevent deforestation. Incentivizing sustainable transport
Our nature positive approach is designed to help nature and communities thrive in harmony through practical solutions, such as reducing carbon and waste on our trips, supporting conservation projects through our Foundation, and rewilding 100 square metres for every traveller.
People
