Smile. You’ve LANDED in Patagonia.
Patagonia is the edge of the world—a land of never-ending plains and towering mountain ranges that stretch across Chile and Argentina. The diverse landscapes offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, from hiking in iconic national parks to experiencing the awe of walking around glaciers.
Beyond the natural beauty, it also represents both the new hope of immigrants and the ancient domain of the Mapuche and Tehuelche.

FAQ
What is the best time to visit Patagonia?
Peak season (including the Austral Summer) runs from October to April. That’s when the most options are available. Many lodges are closed from May to September. A few are open year-round.
- Shoulder Season (October-November, March-April) – fewer travelers, mercurial weather and great opportunities for wildlife viewing.
- Austral Summer (December to February) – long days, potential for high wind, and sunshine. This is the most popular time to visit Patagonia.
- Off-Season (May to September) – shorter days, less wind and winter sports opportunities.
What language is spoken in Patagonia?
What should I pack for Patagonia?
Great question. Packing for Patagonia is not difficult.
Dress in layers, allowing you to add or remove clothing for comfort as conditions change throughout the day. It’s common to be bundled up in the early morning, strip down to a light shirt during a mid-day hike, and cover up again in the afternoon and evening. You’ll want to bring a daypack to carry any unworn layers.
LANDED has prepared a special packing list for travelers visiting Patagonia.
Is Patagonia good for kids?
Yes, Patagonia is great for kids.
We are now experts in traveling to Patagonia with our own children, but once we were just like you, taking our families to Patagonia for the first time.
Teens, tweens and parents: hiking, biking, kayaking, puma tracking, and multi-sport outings. Hikes and horseback rides can be adapted for younger children. Groups can be split by activity level (1 parent/guide each).
Everyone can enjoy cultural interactions, cooking classes, picnics, sailing, wildlife viewing, fishing, and river trips.
What is the recommended age for children to visit Patagonia?
If you have the opportunity to travel to Patagonia with your children, take it. We’ve adapted active itineraries for families with children as young as 5. Some parents have even opted for kid-carrier backpacks, allowing the whole family to enjoy a challenging hike.
One other consideration is travel time. Some of the best places in Patagonia have retained their special character in part because they are not so conveniently reached. Where possible, we can limit travel times, but it’s not unheard of to drive 5 hours to reach a destination.
How safe is Patagonia?
Argentina and Chile—the two nations whose territories include Patagonia—are generally quite safe. However, common sense precautions are still important.
When you travel away from the urban areas (e.g. Buenos Aires and Santiago) and into Patagonia itself, you will find that crime rates are virtually non-existent. Still, be mindful of your belongings when visiting the region’s larger cities, such as Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, or El Calafate.
How to get to Patagonia?
The two main international gateways to Patagonia are Buenos Aires, Argentina and Santiago, Chile. Both cities receive non-stop flights from major air hubs in North America, Europe, and South America.
When Patagonia is the objective, most of our travelers stay two or three nights in one of these cities upon international arrival. From the international (EZE) or domestic airport (AEP) in Buenos Aires, and from the international airport in Santiago (SCL), we head south into Patagonia.
