2. Raw, natural beauty
Patagonia is a mythical landscape of clear blue lakes, dramatic peaks, green forests and millennial glaciers. Los Glaciares National Park has 13 glaciers which end in the lakes Viedma and Argentino, the largest and most spectacular of which is the Perito Moreno glacier, with a height of 200 feet and an edge of 2 ½ miles. Seen from any angle this is a breathtaking sight, a monumental gleaming mass of ice edging its way slowly through the mountain valley.
Start your stay in a
charming lodge decorated with antiques and set in the grounds of a large working estancia. This is a beautiful, secluded spot and the food and service is outstanding. All food is locally sourced and you will be able to try your hand at sheep shearing and help out on the working farm.
Organised trips will take you into this unspoilt wilderness on horseback or 4x4, as well as hiking across the Moreno glacier itself. To really experience the raw natural beauty of nature in its purest form, take an overnight tour on a luxury motor yacht, purpose built for this very special trip around the Lago Argentina. Being mobile means that you can access remote areas of intense natural beauty, navigating safely past large icebergs and experiencing this natural wonder, inaccessible any other way, in an isolated but luxurious surroundings.
