Our Patagonia travel itineraries are heartfelt, as befits a region that long ago grabbed us and never let go. Our travelers hike in the astounding granite monoliths, forests, and shockingly blue lakes of the Torres del Paine and the Fitz Roys, world-unique mountain marvels. We range farther afoot, to the little-visited Aysen Glacier region, and we kayak in the Pumalin Reserve. We stay in superb hotels and estancias, with serene day hikes and fabulous cuisine; and we rough it with rigorous, beautifully supported treks and ice-cap explorations. Our Patagonia tour leaders here are old and dear friends, cultured, passionate people who are intimate with the best-known places and the hardest-to-reach corners of this fabulous land. Like Melville, they are besotted by “all the attending marvels of a thousand Patagonian sights and sounds.”
