A wilderness shared in silence and sky
The wind carries stories across the steppe. At night, the sky stretches wide, stars scattered like embers. Your group gathers around the fire, the day’s journey etched in dust and laughter. Here, amidst the raw beauty of Patagonia, connections deepen, and the wild welcomes you.

Completely customisable for you
DAY
1-2
- Arrive in El Calafate and meet your guide team. After a short drive, settle into your private wilderness camp, tucked between river and ridge. As the sun dips low, gather by the fire for a shared meal, stories exchanged beneath a sky that keeps unfolding.
- Begin with a trek through glacial valleys where condors circle high above. Walk along ancient moraines and listen as the landscape shifts from stone to grass. Pause at a lookout for lunch, the view stretching wider than words. Return to camp for wine and warmth.
DAY
3-5
- Move deeper into Patagonia’s heart. Cross wooden bridges and open plains. Follow a new trail through alpine meadows touched by wind. The silence carries a weight of its own. Tonight, sleep beneath peaks that seem close enough to touch.
- Visit a remote estancia where tradition is lived, not displayed. Watch sheepdogs at work, try your hand at mate preparation, and share a meal of local lamb. The pace is slower here, but full of quiet skill and pride passed from one generation to the next.
- Take on a more challenging ascent with the group. Switchbacks rise toward a panoramic ridge, revealing lakes carved by time. Stand together at the summit, and let the silence speak. Descent is quiet, steady, reflective.
DAY
6-8
- Choose how the day unfolds: a shorter hike along river trails or time spent near camp journaling, resting, or sharing photographs and stories. The group regathers for a communal cookout, the fire dancing between laughter and light.
- Break camp and drive back toward El Calafate, stopping at viewpoints that once framed your steps. The land begins to fall away behind you, but the feeling remains. Tonight, a final dinner in town, where the mood turns celebratory and still.
- Depart for home, carrying with you more than photographs. This was movement through space, but also time, connection, and something elemental. Patagonia doesn’t offer closure. It offers presence.
Under canvas, beneath peaks
Each tent is a haven, canvas walls breathing with the rhythm of the land. Mornings begin with the scent of coffee and the promise of trails leading into the unknown. Evenings end with shared stories and the hush of the wilderness.
Trails that test and teach
Paths wind through valleys and ascend rugged ridges. Footsteps sync as conversations ebb and flow. Moments of challenge give way to vistas that steal breath and words alike.
Meals forged from fire and friendship
Gathered around open flames, meals are more than sustenance—they’re ceremonies. Local flavors mingle with the day’s adventures, each bite a testament to the land and its people.
Unpacking in style
There’s something about stays that make you want to linger. With Footprint, you can stay at a London townhouse where the city runs just beyond your window. A lodge in the Scottish Highlands where the fireplace is always lit. A suite in New York where room service feels like a restaurant reservation. The right stay isn’t just where you rest— it’s where the experience begins.
