Chilean Patagonia
Reach the towering snow-capped
peaks of this winter wonderland
With vast, untouched, and pristine landscapes featuring everything from snow-capped mountains to deserts and old-
growth forests, Patagonia, Chile is an outdoor-lovers dream. Opportunities for experiencing the natural world abound in
this rugged and remote part of the world.
Cobalt lakes, azure-tinted glaciers, emerald trees, and turquoise skies stretch as far as the eye can see. In fact, the Chilean
Patagonia’s vistas are so sweeping that Charles Darwin once described the region as “boundless.”
Barbecues are very instilled in Chile’s culture, both for the geographic conditions favorable to livestock and also for the opportunity these events play in spending quality time with family and friends. A classic Patagonian barbecue entails a lamb slow-roasted on a rotating stick over an open fire. It’s a special event and highly social, in which family, friends, and neighbors gather to share stories around the fire and bond over traditional food. On the seafood side, the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean mean lobster, king crab, oyster, and clam-like you’ve never tried before. They are served in hot casseroles in clay bowls, raw, or oven baked with Chilean wine and parmesan cheese.
The people of Chile have a wonderfully rich history and culture that dates back generations. Many traditional ways of living and working are alive to this day in Patagonia. The Baqueano (cowboy) lifestyle is still very intricately woven into many aspects of today’s Patagonia. Baqueanos are expert horsemen dedicated to rearing livestock, often characterized by their strong but hospitable personalities. They wear leather boots, neck scarves, berets, vests, and warm ponchos with unique designs. You will almost always see them drinking traditional mate with their special cup and straw. This herbal infusion is a sacred ritual and the center of many conversations.
Patagonia is one of the world’s most enticing adventure destinations, with thrilling experiences at every turn. Kayak through the amazing fjords, rivers, and lagoons of the Lake District, ski at the end of the world or hike the breathtaking Andes Mountains. The opportunities for adventure are endless. World-class hiking, wildlife spotting, and mountaineering are what this destination is known for, and when it comes to adventure, Patagonia never disappoints.
From breathtaking glaciers, majestic lakes, and rivers to the towering, snow-capped peak of the Andes, Patagonia is undeniably an incredible nature destination. Torres del Paine National Park, with its iconic granite towers, is one of the most popular destinations in Patagonia. Most famous for the W Trek, it also offers a lot of wilder hiking, horseback riding on remote estancias, ice hiking on glaciers, kayaking among icebergs, and biking on tough mountain trails. The Chilean lake district offers a stunning mix of glistening lakes, smoldering volcanoes, temperate rainforests, and meandering rivers rich in fish and bird life.
A premier wellness destination for those looking to rest after long days of adventure, Patagonia offers much in terms of wellness offerings. Many hotels in the area also have complete spas with customized wellness treatments, saunas and jacuzzis, hammams, and massage offerings. Wellness and fitness programs are also offered on-site at many properties, incorporating activities like morning yoga, trekking, and more.

Whale watching in the Chilean Fjords Chile’s extensive, sparkling Pacific coastline, stretches over 4,000km and features some truly remote and unspoiled scenery, providing a spectacular backdrop to whale and dolphin watching. The coastline from Patagonia down toward Chile's subpolar southern tip is characterized by a network of islands, fjords, and channels fed by freshwater flowing from the Andes. These rich and diverse habitats allow Chile to host nearly 40 percent of the world’s whale and dolphin species in its waters. A number of baleen whale species can be observed close to shore as they migrate between warmer breeding grounds to the north and rich Antarctic feeding grounds, making the Chilean Patagonia the perfect place for wildlife lovers to whale watch.
