Our Patagonia retreat begins in a remote nature reserve, set deep in the Río de las Vueltas valley—an untouched corner of the world where nature speaks in silence and scale. Over five nights at our rustic mountain ranch, we’ll practise yoga with Tania, explore this incredible landscape on foot, and take time to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
This is pure hiking country—home to soaring peaks, glacial rivers, and valleys carved by time. We’ll walk through enchanted forests and alongside mirror-like lagoons, with trails that lead into the heart of Patagonia’s raw beauty.
Guided by a local park ranger, we’ll take on three spectacular hikes: the shimmering Milodón Lagoon, the Cagliero Este Glacier, and the legendary Laguna de los Tres with its postcard views of Mount Fitz Roy. There’s also time to rest, read, or choose your own adventure—optional kayaking and shorter trails near Lago del Desierto offer flexibility and freedom in your day.
After five nights in the wilderness, we journey to El Calafate for the final leg of our trip. Our base is a peaceful, family-run estancia just outside town, surrounded by big skies and lake views. Here, we unwind and take in the final wonder of Patagonia with a reflective hike to enjoy views of the Perito Moreno Glacier. There is an option to add a boat tip to see the icebergs and glaciers up close or you may wish to soak in their power from the land.
This is more than a retreat—it’s a deep dive into Patagonia’s elemental magic. Will you come explore with us?

We have space for 13 guests on this retreat, with a mix of five single rooms and four twin/double rooms. All accommodation falls within our Simple category.*
You’ll be staying in two different locations during the retreat.
We begin with five nights in a private nature reserve near El Chaltén, surrounded by forest and dramatic mountain views. The lodge has eight cosy ensuite rooms, each with large windows looking out to the Patagonian wilderness. Thoughtfully furnished with locally sourced, reclaimed materials, the rooms are simple yet full of character. Wi-Fi is available at scheduled times.
We then spend two nights on a charming family-run farm on the outskirts of El Calafate. Accommodation here is spread across three eco cabins and three spacious houses. The single rooms have ensuite bathrooms, while twin/double rooms share bathrooms between three rooms. The setting is peaceful and homely, with views across the open steppe.

You’ll be served a delicious breakfast and dinner every day and have packed lunches to take out on your adventures. Argentinian menus include meat and fish, so if you prefer a vegetarian menu please let us know when you book.
We should be able to cater for most dietary requests but please do check this with us BEFORE you book. Thank you.
This is an alcohol free retreat.
This retreat is designed for the Bold Traveller*—someone with a strong sense of adventure, a high level of fitness, and a deep appreciation for remote, rugged places. You’ll need to be fit, well-prepared, and open to the wildness of Patagonia, where nature sets the pace and simplicity allows the landscape to shine.
Expect to be out exploring on foot most days, with breathtaking hikes and active adventures woven into the rhythm of the retreat. One of the highlights is the challenging full-day hike to Laguna de los Tres—a demanding 22km journey that takes around 9 hours and requires stamina, sure-footedness, and an injury-free body to fully enjoy.
If this hike isn’t for you, there are still ways to enjoy the landscape—alternative self-guided walks and optional kayaking offer more gentle, independent ways to engage with the surroundings. But overall, this retreat is best suited to those who love to move, explore, and embrace the raw beauty of the wild.

Responsible Retreating in Patagonia
We are committed to operating in an environmentally and socially responsible way which includes being transparent about the current eco-credentials for each retreat.
Our El Chalten location is off grid, so they had to create everything from scratch while trying to be as sustainable as possible. Electricity is powered by solar energy, the sun is very high in Patagonia during the tourist season and this is the most sustainable option. Water is from a spring and they have biodigesters so they do not contaminate. They serve water from the spring at the table during meals and they do not offer plastic bottle unless asked for. And every year they incorporate new actions to be more sustainable.
