Family Unplugged

Summary

We realise travel with children has its own challenges and we endeavour to take the stress out of the experience both in the planning stages and during the trip itself.

On our family itineraries we have considered the suitability and practicality of accommodations and activities and this can only be achieved with extensive personal knowledge and experience. We only recommend the areas we know and have visited personally with our own children, these first hand reviews have shaped our itineraries.

We specialise in family travel to Patagonia but we can also incorporate other parts of Chile or Argentina such as the inimitable Iguazu Falls, the Atacama Desert, the Lake District, Tierra del Fuego and more. We can also recommend suitable Antarctic voyages for families.

We spend time working with you to design a uniquely personal experience for your family based on the ages of your children and your travel style and budget.

Patagonia is child-friendly! We may be biassed but we feel there is no better place for children to experience nature at its most raw and awe inspiring. With a well-planned and sensible itinerary and armed with a good pair of binoculars, children will love the freedom and excitement that comes from travelling in this superb natural playground.

During our Patagonia trips our aim is to keep the days active and interesting and to avoid the long hikes, rides or drives that children and consequently their parents can find tedious and challenging. As with all our trips, a dedicated vehicle and guide ensure full flexibility and spontaneity during your time in Patagonia.

Camping is possible and highly recommended for families. Whether you want to experience wild camping, frontier-style with pack horses and all the gear provided or whether you prefer to camp close to showers and decent bathrooms, we can arrange it. To keep things simple we include all the equipment and a cook to prepare the meals.

Estancia stays are interesting and rewarding for families. They offer a unique insight into Patagonian culture and depending on the time of year children can witness local customs such as shearing or moving of sheep. The estancias we use offer a genuine warm welcome and plenty of space for the kids to wander making the experience a very special one

Travel in Patagonia can be hard to organize without local knowledge. For many of the families who visit us, knowing we are local and on hand to deal with any hiccups gives them the confidence to consider an area they might otherwise have missed.
