Top itineraries and travel advice in and around Patagonia

Patagonia, a region at the edge of the world, captivates travelers with its raw beauty and dramatic landscapes. Straddling Argentina and Chile, Patagonia is a land of extremes—from the ice fields and jagged peaks of Torres del Paine National Park to the windswept plains of the Argentine steppe. This vast and varied land offers an unparalleled adventure for nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking a glimpse into the wild, untamed spirit of our planet.

In Chilean Patagonia, hike the renowned W Trek or the more challenging O Trek in Torres del Paine, where every turn reveals views of glaciers, turquoise lakes, and towering granite horns. For wildlife enthusiasts, the Valdes Peninsula and Punta Tombo offer close encounters with whales, penguins, and seabirds.

Argentine Patagonia is equally beautiful, with the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park offering a spectacle of ice calving into the waters below. The charming towns of El Calafate and El Chaltén serve as gateways to these natural wonders, providing a cozy retreat with local cuisine and culture. Discover the traditions of the indigenous Mapuche people, visit the Welsh settlements of Gaiman and Trevelin, and explore the remote estancias where the culture of the gaúcho is still very much alive.
