Once you’ve flown most of the way around the world to get to Patagonia you might as well savour some of the other places that the region has to offer. In Chile there’s the wine region around Santiago, Valparaiso and of course the Atacama Desert. In Argentina there’s obviously Buenos Aires, but also Mendoza at […]
Read MoreCost of a Patagonia Holiday
We’re often asked to help people with the budgets for their trips, and help them understand whether (with all the different factors and variables) a trip is at the ‘cheap’ or ‘expensive’ end of the spectrum. So I thought it was time to try and answer the all important question: how much will my Adenture […]
Read MoreWelsh Patagonia
We talk to Rhian who visited Patagonia in April this year. She travelled to many places during her time there, visiting Welsh towns and indulging in a spot of hiking and horse riding.

It’s practical too – leaving each and getting you get from A to B across the sometimes tricky border from […]

I’d been looking forward to the Australis cruise for quite a while now and had been anticipating what it was going to be like during my time in Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas. When the day arrived, I was impressed with how smooth the boarding process was. You just had to drop your luggage off […]
Read MoreEco Camp Patagonia
I think so far this has to be the most exciting place I’ve stayed at in Patagonia and the most unusual. It’s located at the start of the W Circuit in the national park and from Puerto Natales it takes about 2.5 hours to get there. It’s elevated above the other hotels and refugios in […]

Quite a different experience from the classical style Hotel Kapenke in Calafate, the Hotel and Spa Indigo is located just of the main road in Puerto Natales, with views over Last Hope Sound. I’ve visited Hotel Indigo before and been impressed with both the rooms, spa, decor and restaurant but this time i actually stayed […]
