Exceptional Guides
We believe our guides are the finest in Patagonia: caring, knowledgeable, and completely dedicated to the well-being of our clients. Our trips operate with a minimum of one guide per client.
Dynamic Landscapes
From the ever-moving glaciers to turbulent rivers, we witness the full spectrum of Patagonia's hydrological cycle.
Patagonian Culture and History
The human geography of Patagonia is as beautiful and enduring as its landscapes. All our trips pass through traditional Patagonian ranches, and we share meals and maté with locals as we learn their stories.
Wild Plant and Animal Life
We move through rare old-growth forest, desolate high alpine shrub-land, and wet, vibrant marshes. We can never guarantee a wildlife encounter, but we will move through habitat that is home to Andean condors, highly endangered huemul deer, and elusive pumas.
Community and Conversation
All our trips are built around the concept of the team. Guides and visitors share meals and ideas, and we relish the energy, contributions, and positive presence of every person.
Science and Discovery
Few places are as rich in geological, glaciological, and climate science lessons as the Northern Patagonian Ice Fields. We'll pause often to study the natural experiments unfolding before our eyes.
Elegant, Simple, Hearty Food
Food is fuel for our bodies and our souls. We take pride in preparing healthy and nourishing meals over open fires, using knowledge gleaned from decades of experience cooking in remote environments.
Rustic Traditional Patagonian Living
We sleep in rustic shelters, in tents, or, weather permitting, right under the stars, always ensuring that our clients are comfortable, cozy, and safe.
