The natural beauty of Patagonia is the major draw to this southern region in Argentina and Chile populated by few humans. Fjords, lakes, glaciers and the stunning peaks of Torre del Paine form the landscape. Penguins, sea lions, and elephant seals roam the coast. This is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and a destination onto itself.
Introduction
The Drake Passage, Beagle Channel, and Strait of Magellan of Patagonia link the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The Argentine side features arid grasslands and deserts, while the Chilean side has glacial fjords and temperate rainforest. The Andes separates the two countries.
Visitors to Patagonia don’t have to sacrifice ease of travel and comfort. Our locally based partners there can facilitate meeting all your needs, from hiking Torre del Paine to finding those culinary treasures, and getting between Chile and Argentina.
Weather and Climate
The best time to visit (for the best weather) is the southern hemisphere's summer season, from November through March. However, this is also the peak tourist season and the trails in Torres del Paine National Park can be mobbed. Off season you'll encounter colder weather but fewer crowds.
Transportation
Flights to Patagonia are limited, and crossing the Andes separates the Argentinian side and the Cnilean side. We can arrange flights or transfers by motor vehicle.
