Indagare's Marley Lynch
“The scenery in Chilean Patagonia is transcendental, comprising bright-blue glacial lakes, plentiful wildlife and snow-capped peaks often shrouded in moody clouds.”
Spanning both sides of the Andes Mountains in southern Chile and Argentina, Patagonia tops bucket lists for most outdoor enthusiasts, and can be enjoyed by adventurous travelers of all ages. On the Chilean side, Torres del Paine National Park and other beautiful preserves are home to incredibly beautiful mountain ranges, glaciers and lakes, as well as abundant wildlife, including condors, guanaco and puma.

Essential Chilean Patagonia
Experience the best of Patagonia with an itinerary customized with guided treks, boat excursions and gaucho experiences. Contact Indagare to work with a travel specialist to pick the perfect retreat.
Day 1-2
Spend your first days in the Chilean Patagonia getting to know the varied terrain by foot on some of the most incredible hiking trails in the world. You can enjoy full-day excursions in the Torres del Paine national park, then return to your lodge for delicious meals and wine.
Day 3-4
See the iconic glaciers of Patagonia up-close on a boat trip, while you are based at a top-notch lodge like Singular, Awasi or Tierra. The lucky traveler may also spot cormorants and sea lions while on the water, and you should not miss Grey Glacier, which is nearly 100 feet tall.
Day 6-7
Enjoy your last days in Patagonia traversing the terrain on horseback. You can also visit a local working estancia (ranch), where you can learn about gaucho culture, indulge in delicious meals and venture along unmarked paths for truly off-the-beaten path adventure.
