Offbeat & Wilderness
All Travel StylesWhat we offer…
Wilderness is defined as a natural landscape that is unchanged and unaltered by human activity or agriculture. Immersing oneself in wild areas is profoundly important for both physical and mental well-being offering a crucial respite from the relentless pace of modern life. Many of our guests are increasingly looking for wild experiences for themselves or their family that gets them away from beeping phones and into the backcountry or hinterland. These immersions lay the groundwork for creating important family memories and stronger connections to each other and oneself. They also foster empathy and understanding of different cultures and points of view which results in a more worldly approach to life and a deeper appreciation of the environment.
Summary
Chile and Argentina, particularly Patagonia, contain vast and accessible wilderness areas for those seeking to escape the confines of urbanisation and technology. In Chile, the dramatic landscapes of Torres del Paine provide an expansive playground for explorers, adventurers and wildlife enthusiasts. Tierra del Fuego is wilder still and largely untouched. The Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, offers a surreal environment where visitors can disconnect while gazing at the stunning night skies. Argentina’s Patagonia region, with its sprawling glaciers, pristine lakes, and towering peaks offers countless opportunities for isolation and solitude. Iguazu Falls, shared by Argentina and Brazil, is an awe inspiring natural wonder that provides a powerful reminder of the majesty and tranquility found in nature.
For road trippers, the Carretera Austral in Chile, Highway 40 in Argentina and Chile’s Tierra del Fuego offer a chance to linger in some truly off grid and remarkable empty places.
Both countries have made significant investments in preserving these natural spaces, ensuring they remain unspoiled and accessible. Initiatives such as the creation of new national parks, the expansion of protected areas and the promotion of sustainable tourism demonstrate a commitment to maintaining these wilderness areas for future generations. In a world where densely populated cities and constant connectivity have become the norm, the wild, untamed landscapes of Chile and Argentina provide a vital antidote, offering the peace and rejuvenation that only nature can provide.
