Join us for our Patagonia Photo Adventure

Patagonia is a region in the south of Argentina bordered in the north by the Cuyo and Pampas regions, in the east by the Atlantic Ocean and in the south and west by Chile. It occupies roughly 490,000 square miles. Patagonia is a windswept frontier bequeathed with the earth’s few remaining glaciers. Patagonia is famous for being a magnet for wanderers. It has an almost other worldly feel, from the colors embedded in the landscape… teal, mauve, mahogany, periwinkle, azure and lavender – to the effect it has on the imagination.

Day 1 | El Calafate
Our adventure beings in the afternoon at our hotel in El Calafate. In the early evening we will have a meet and greet with our group leader and guide, and then celebrate with our “Welcome Dinner” at one of the many great restaurants in El Calafate. (D)

Day 2 | Perito Moreno Glacier
We are up early to photograph Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park, declared a “World Heritage” site by UNESCO in 1981. This spectacular glacier is one of the very few glaciers in the world that still advances. Its massive front wall will most likely make you put down your camera in awe. There are several different views we will explore, ranging from details of the ice to the grand view spanning the 3.5 miles of its front wall. Its frequent calving, one of the trademarks of the glacier is a little “extra” that the glacier offers its visitors frequently and one of the best features of the day. (B)

Day 3 | El Chalten
Today, we depart towards El Chalten, through Patagonian steppe. The 3 hour drive through the steppe to this charming little mountain town of just a couple thousand people is very interesting. We will likely see Guanacos and Nandues (a south American ostrich) on the way. As we approach El Chalten, we will view (weather permitting) the magnificent Fitz Roy massif in all its rugged glory. We will make stops on the way to start getting used to our main subject for the next 3 days. (B)

Day 4 | El Chalten – Fitz Roy
We will spend 3 full days in the area, shooting the Fitz Roy, the Cerro Torre, and the rest of the peaks in this massif. The best light to shoot is the early morning, where the light turns the granite red-orange. We will explore different locations for sunrise. After breakfast back in town, we can walk different easy trails that start right at the edge of the town, exploring different views and angles of the mountains, but also enjoy and photograph unpolluted forests and streams. The town itself is very picturesque and definitely worth the time to explore. Despite its size, the town is full of great little restaurants, so good food is guaranteed! (B)

Day 7 | Torres del Paine – Chile
We depart early for Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. We will drive through Patagonian steppe (lunch en route) crossing the border to Chile. This is a long driving day with different views as we move south towards Chile’s incredibly pretty Torres del Paine. (B)

Day 8 | Laguna Amarga – Cascada Paine
We will spend the next 3 full days visiting the park, including Laguna Amarga, Cascada Paine, Salto Grande, Grey Glacier, Lake Pehoe, Lake Nordenskjold. Torres del Paine is arguably the prettiest park in Patagonia. Our hotel’s amazing location in the middle of Lake Pehoe’s turquoise waters, with the rugged Paine’s Horns unobstructed views makes it the perfect place to set base during our stay. We will shoot from excellent locations, with the best light. There are so many places to shoot and the park is so incredibly beautiful that our three days will certainly feel not enough. From walks through forests, to icebergs, to turquoise colored waters, to rugged mountains, to guanacos, condors, and flamingos, Torres del Paine has it all! (B)

Day 9 | Grey Glacier – Salto Grande
See Day 8 for details. Since we will be spending 3 days in Torres del Paine National Park, the exact order which which we explore will be determined based on weather and other factors. (B)
