Transportation, guide and activities:
Our trips usually involve overland travel through Patagonia
either by four-wheel drive vehicles or minibus, always
accompanied by an English- or German - speaking driver (who
at the same time acts as guide, mechanic if needed, and
above all as an incomparable connoisseurs of the country).
In general we
try to keep daily travel times under four hours, and only
rarely will it be necessary to have a whole day of travel only.
In between there is always enough time to rest, to enjoy
nature, to trek on foot or horseback, to visit special sites or
to undertake other excursions.
We can also
organize trips that have mainly flight transportation whenever
it is possible, we have some examples of these trip in our
Luxury tour offer
Overnight Stops and Catering:
In
this respect, we like to keep our offer flexible. In most
areas it is possible to overnight on estancias (big sheep
farms, ranches) with excellent facilities for guests, but
we also use hotels, hosterias and hostels. In general we
pre-book overnight stays with breakfast.
In estancias
or hotels these consist of double room with private bath,
whereas in refuges in the Torres del Paine National Park
frequently there may only be dormitories and shared bathrooms
available.
A midd-day
picnic or packed lunch as well as restaurant dinner may
be included if desired.
Argentinian meals, food offered:
On
our trips you will become acquanted with the local cuisine. At
noon, since we are far from any restaurant possibility, we take
a pic nic with us.
On the Patagonian estancias we can try the good lamb
barbecues, but also tasty stews and pasta. On the other
side, in Chile and Ushuaia, we can enjoy delicious fish
dishes.
In case you are vegetarian, please let us know before
iniciating the journey.
