A LUXURY VACATION TO PATAGONIA
Patagonia is a byword for space, solitude and wilderness adventure. A land of superlatives, it is renowned for its sprawling plains, immense glaciers, towering peaks, and a rich heritage of exploration, immigration and agriculture.
Occupying approximately 300,000 square miles of Argentina, and some 131,000 square miles of Chile, it was to Patagonia that infamous outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid escaped when seeking ultimate refuge and anonymity.
Here, there is an adventure for everyone. Every mountain, stretch of grassland, river, and lake appears to have been created to fulfil the dreams of riders, fishermen, and walkers. Whether on foot, by boat, or from the air, you will explore ice fields, Andean summits, deepwater lakes and vast steppes. Those happiest in the saddle can ride from estancia to estancia accompanied by gauchos.
THE BEST OF PATAGONIA
Patagonia is a haven for those seeking nature in its purest form.
Cradled between the Pacific to the west and the Atlantic to the east – it is a landscape shaped by nature’s mightiest forces. The western landscapes are a spellbinding blend of glacial lakes, ancient fjords, and temperate rainforests, while the eastern plains reveal rugged deserts, windswept steppes, and ancient tablelands shaped by volcanic activity. The dramatic coastline, with its towering cliffs and narrow coastal plains, adds to the sense of being at the end of the earth.
Whether planning a luxury honeymoon in or a family vacation in Patagonia, you can choose to stay at a working ranch, a world-class lodge or a rustic hideaway. Our travel specialists know the properties intimately and can match you to the right one for you so you get the most out of your adventure.

When is the best time of year to visit Patagonia?
Patagonia is a land of extremes, where the weather can shift dramatically — be prepared for four seasons in a single day.
The optimal time to explore is during the summer months from December to March, which offer the most stable conditions for hiking, biking and riding.
For those wanting to escape the crowds, consider visiting between October and November, or in April and May, when you’ll be rewarded with the vibrant hues of spring and the fiery reds of autumn.
Coastal regions tend to be wetter and milder, while the interior offers drier yet cooler conditions. In Tierra del Fuego, the average summer temperatures are within a comfortable 10-15°C (50-59°F), a winter may bring a chill as low as 1°C (33°F).

Where is Patagonia?
Patagonia is a region of remote wilderness at the southern tip of South America, stretching across the southernmost reaches of Argentina and Chile. It occupies nearly a third of Argentina’s landmass and almost half of Chile’s surface area. Cradled between the Pacific to the west and the Atlantic to the east – it is a landscape shaped by nature’s mightiest forces. The region’s southern edge is defined by the icy waters of the Strait of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, and the Drake Passage, marking the gateway to Antarctica.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL – PATAGONIA
“What a triumph the whole adventure was. All brilliantly arranged by you and your team. I would not have changed a thing. We adored it all and felt we spent just the right amount of time at each place.
Each lodge was stunning. Beautiful rooms, quiet with great views, and incredible food at all of them.
You successfully managed to minimise or vary the travel – which was quite an achievement considering the distances we covered.
We loved our guides. All intelligent, informed and spoke excellent English. So, a thousand thanks. We will be recommending you and Plan South America to all our friends and are planning our return next February.”
