Explorations

At explora Patagonia we offer over 35 different explorations. On foot or horseback, for a couple of hours or a full day, gentle or more physically demanding.

Our series of explorations will enable you to discover the landscapes and wildlife of this singular place, and get to know the diverse ecosystems and living creatures that have lived here for millions of years, as well as the unique way of life of its human inhabitants: the gauchos.

The explorations and Patagonia adventures are safe and are made up of groups with a maximum of 8 people, accompanied by an expert bilingual guide. All our guides speak excellent Spanish and English and some also speak French and German.

The longer explorations include open-air picnics. Sometimes we use minibuses or motorboats for sections of the route.

We celebrate each change of season and weather. Rain, wind, an unexpected snowstorm or a day of bright sunshine are all part of the experience. The key is to be well-equipped so you can enjoy the journey to the full.

Each afternoon, one of our guides will meet with you in the lodge bar to tell you about the explorations planned for the following day and help you with the difficult task of choosing between the seven to 14 different options, all of them exciting.

Our guides hold substantial knowledge about the area and all have Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, which guarantees that they have the expertise and skills necessary to provide assistance to people in remote areas.

IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION

We believe that the real value of a journey is not in arriving but in the things that happen along the way.

We want you to be able to interact with your surroundings, to unfurl and satisfy your curiosity, to learn about nature and people, to discover the geology, flora, fauna, history and customs of the places you visit.

We are not satisfied with simply offering passive contemplation from a distance: we want things to happen and we want you, ultimately, to shape your own journey.

To enhance the experience of your journey, on some treks our guides provide binoculars and telescopes from Swarovski Optiks, world leader in precision optical equipment.

Everything is revealed with amazing detail… an essential visual experience in terms of scope and clarity.
