Hosted, All-Inclusive Chilean Patagonia Overland - Our Highest Rated Tour into the heart of Patagonia  -  $5,390 pp

What is an Overland?  An overland is a type of "roadtrip", where the key attraction is not only each destination, but also the adventure along the way. We head through the remote, pristine parts of Patagonia that most people simply fly over, enabling us to share with you the true Patagonia experience!

Why Patagonia?  This remote, practically unknown land is replete with myths, legends, unique wildlife and unparalleled landscapes. Adjectives previous travelers have used to describe Patagonia include Wild, Untamed, Infinite, Dramatic, Unexpected, Breathtaking, Inspiring and even Unearthly. With over 5 million online votes, Torres del Paine was chosen as part of the new 8 Wonders of the World, beating out over 300 entries from 50 countries. After spending 3 days in Chile's most-visited national park, we will let you be the judge.

Who is this trip for?  This tour is for lovers of nature, history, culture, photography, flora and fauna. It is for those who enjoy sharing this untamed land with like-minded people, who pack along their sense of wonder and their sense of humor. It requires that you be flexible and flow with the tour, so you can create your own Patagonian experience. As one recent client put it, this trip is for people with an "Interest in nature, with all its glories and inconveniences.  Interest in a different culture, history, and places.  A sense of adventure and excitement over the unexpected.  Willingness to leave the internet and the modern world for 15 days."  It is not an active trip, but we will have plenty of opportunities for hiking, walking, horseback riding and boat rides, among others.This tour is open to all ages, and our overland travelers have averaged between 35-75 years old.

Why travel with us?  We have more than 13 years experience hosting travelers from all over the world through majestic Patagonia, and are the only operators running this specific route. This Small-Group tour (12 maximum) is All-Inclusive, meaning you don't have to worry about your internal flights, meals and snacks, lodging, daily activities, park entrance fees, or anything else. We truly enjoy our job, and hope it shows in everything we do.

Comfortable Transportation
Beginning from the moment we pick you up at the airport you will ride in our comfortable van configured for a maximum of 12 travelers (similar van will be provided in the Torres del Paine segment).
The van has separate, reclining seats, air conditioning, plenty of legroom and extra large windows. We travel with water and snacks, and since our groups are so small, we have plenty of time to stop, walk around, take pictures, and generally enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We never forget that you are on vacation, and our goal is to give you the best travel experience possible.
Here are some pictures of our current transportation: Note: We just purchased a new van, photos coming soon!

Soft-adventure Activities
Each day during your overland tour we will have a specific activity, depending on our route, the day's destination and the weather conditions. These activities are easy to moderate, and require only that you be in generally good physical condition to be able to enjoy them fully.
None of the activities are mandatory, and alternative activities will nearly always be available. If you do not want to participate in a given activity, one of us will stay behind with you and we'll do something else.
