Patagonia Tours: A Journey into the wild
Patagonia is a place of unparalleled beauty, where the rhythm of nature dictates life and untouched wilderness beckons those who seek a deeper connection to the earth. Stretching across the southern reaches of Chile and Argentina, this remote region offers an intoxicating sense of exploration and solitude. For the discerning traveller, it is a land of boundless opportunities to immerse oneself in nature’s raw elegance while enjoying the comforts of thoughtfully designed luxury.
Hiking through Patagonia’s iconic landscapes—like the towering granite spires of Torres del Paine or the glacial-carved valleys of Los Glaciares National Park—is a transformative experience. Each step reveals a kaleidoscope of colours, from turquoise lakes to emerald forests and windswept grasslands. For those who prefer a different pace, horseback riding across vast estancias offers a chance to follow ancient trails once traversed by pioneers, guided by local gauchos who share their deep-rooted connection to the land.
The crystal-clear rivers of Patagonia are a paradise for fly fishing enthusiasts, teeming with trout and salmon that challenge even the most skilled anglers. Meanwhile, wildlife enthusiasts will find themselves enchanted by the region’s rich biodiversity, from elusive pumas to Andean condors soaring overhead.
Exclusive lodges like Awasi Patagonia and Explora Patagonia provide a seamless blend of sophistication and sustainability. Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, these retreats offer personalized adventures, gourmet cuisine crafted from local ingredients, and the perfect balance of comfort and remoteness. Here, the luxury lies not only in the amenities but in the profound connection to Patagonia’s soul-stirring wilderness.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!
