The Wineries of Mendoza & Iguazu’s Falls

Argentina is home to one of the largest waterfalls in existence and the finest wines in the world. This relaxing itinerary combines both - an in-depth look at the geology and wildlife of Iguazu Falls, as well as a connoisseur trip to visit the world-famous wineries of Mendoza. By visiting both the Argentinan and Brazilian sides of the waterfalls, you will get the best of what both countries have to offer at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Argentina, the views are much closer, but the Brazilian side has the jaw-dropping panoramic postcard views of the falls. Continue on to Mendoza, a two-hour flight from Buenos Aires, and the heart of Malbec wine country. You´ll be graciously welcomed into beautiful vineyards for a stroll and then invited to a fabulous five-course lunch. On the next day, you can choose to go for a horse-back ride in the country or an exciting white-water rafting trip.

Trekking Northern Patagonia: Refugios & Camping In The Cochamó Valley

The Chilean Yosemite!

This relatively unknown valley in Northern Patagonia, now being called the Chilean Yosemite, is a U-shaped valley located in the Los Lagos Region of Chile, just south of the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park. Like Yosemite, rock climbers from around the world come to climb the valley's incredible granite domes and walls.

On your 8-day trek, you will spend two nights in a refugio and five nights camping under the starry skies. By day, challenging hikes will take you past hanging bridges, glacial rivers, fjords and estuaries studded with boulders. Pack horses will carry our loads (all camping gear is provided) while trained guides lead the way.

Our paths will cross with settlers who live in homesteads tucked away in the forest and who cross the trails only by foot or by horse, and much of our fresh meals will come straight from the farmer's fields.
