Our Patagonian adventure begins in a private nature reserve, nestled in the untouched Río de las Vueltas valley. Here, on a working ranch dedicated to conservation and research, we spend five days immersed in wild beauty—practising yoga with James, meditating beneath vast skies, and hiking through ancient forests and along glacier-fed rivers.
This region is a hiker’s paradise, with trails that lead us through crystalline lagoons, dramatic valleys, and snow-capped peaks that pierce the clouds. You’ll wander through landscapes where nature tells stories of ice and time, and where silence is broken only by birdsong and the crackle of glaciers in the distance.
Led by our expert park ranger, we’ll embark on three unforgettable hikes—to the shimmering Milodón Lagoon, the mighty Cagliero Este Glacier, and the iconic Laguna de los Tres, with its legendary views of Mount Fitz Roy. Between hikes, there’s time to rest, soak in the quiet of the ranch, or opt for more adventure with kayaking or independent hikes around Lago del Desierto.
After five nights in the wilderness, we travel to El Calafate, gateway to Patagonia’s most iconic ice giant—Perito Moreno Glacier. Our cosy base is a tranquil family-run farm just outside town, with views across the lake and wide-open skies. Here, we slow down and take it all in.
The highlight of our time in El Calafate is a full-day expedition into Los Glaciares National Park. We’ll sail between luminous icebergs and glide past towering walls of ice—Seco, South Heim, Peineta, and finally, the mighty Spegazzini Glacier, standing over 135 metres high. The journey ends with a mindful hike through the national park—time to breathe, reflect, and absorb the magnitude of this ancient land.
This retreat is an adventure like no other—a powerful blend of raw wilderness, exhilarating hikes, and soul-stirring stillness. Are you ready to answer the call of Patagonia?
