Top Patagonia Experiences

Puma Tracking
Thanks to sustainable tourism, pumas are now protected species. Ongoing conservation efforts and ecological shifts have made Torres del Paine National Park home to the highest population of pumas on Earth. The lodges we partner with offer responsible and safe wildlife encounters with these majestic creatures and seeing them in their natural habitat and learning about the efforts to protect them is an incredible experience. Our best guided tours of Patagonia can include multi-day wildlife activities.

Hiking in Los Glaciares National Park
Los Glaciares National Park is a true hiking mecca, offering breathtaking views of the iconic Fitz Roy Range. While it sees fewer visitors than its more famous neighbour, Torres del Paine in Chile, this hidden gem is no less spectacular. A variety of hiking trails- ranging in difficulty and distance- offer adventure, dramatic landscapes, and unforgettable views. No adventure tour to Patagonia is complete without some incredible hiking.

Cruise the Patagonian Fjords
Embark on an unforgettable journey through one of the most remote and pristine parts of the world. Shared by Chile and Argentina, the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago is home to vast glaciers, towering peaks, and remarkable wildlife. This is untamed wilderness at its finest. Cruises span four nights and five days in duration and connect you with the hidden gems of Patagonia. If you’re interested in Patagonia tours for seniors, a Fjord cruise could be a great option.
