The Wild, Wild South - Patagonia

The Wild, Wild South

You'd be hard-pressed to identify a part of the world that can top Patagonia for natural splendor. Once you've seen it for yourself, you won't even bother to try. The scenery at the southern tip of South America is a photographer's dream come true: stunning volcanic landscapes, massive glaciers, and sprawling step-like plains stretching to the horizon. Throw in rich cultural traditions, world-class food and wine and the thriving nightlife of the big cities and you'll wish you'd bought a one-way ticket. Adventure lovers, welcome home.

The G Adventures Difference

Patagonia is an out-of-this-world place, and our on-trip support services are suitably otherworldly. We employ the best mountain guides and support teams the region has to offer, and no two departures are ever exactly alike.

  • Unmatched experience. We've been running tours in Patagonia for years, and as a result have an extensive network of expert local mountain guides to draw upon.
  • Exclusive sites. We've got a top secret, uber-exclusive camp site in Torres del Paine National Park that promises some of the most incredible views you'll ever see. The catch: You have to go with us to find it!
  • Options Galore. Exciting optional activities like ice-trekking on a glacier, time at a penguin colony, mountain biking and horseback riding are available for travellers looking to add a little something extra to their adventure.
