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.

When’s the best time of year to go to Patagonia?

December to February marks the peak season to visit, with warmer, drier temperatures and long hours of daylight. These months are the perfect time for outdoor activities, wildlife watching and getting off the beaten track with easier access to places less visited.

If there is one thing we can guarantee about the weather in Patagonia, it is that it is wildly unpredictable. November to March tends to be the best time to visit. Lush landscapes, and fewer crowds can be appreciated in the spring (October and November) and autumn (March- April) months.

In winter (May to September), travel is possible, but days are short and cold, and many areas of Patagonia are less accessible or have closed for the winter.

At Travel differently our advice is always spend longer, don’t rush and take in all the highlights at a slower pace.

Hiking in Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares National Parks, visiting Perito Moreno Glacier, exploring Ushuaia and spotting wildlife like penguins and guanacos are the top things to do in Patagonia.
