TRAVELLING TO Patagonia
Positioned at the end of the world, Patagonia sits at the southernmost end of South America, within both Argentina and Chile. This spectacular destination appeals to British travellers seeking jagged, remote mountains, world-class hiking, and sparkling fjords and lakes. It's also a convenient add-on to your Antarctic cruise, ideal for anyone wanting to visit some of South America before or after their expedition.
Patagonia is an incredibly remote, yet desirable, destination, accommodation can book up quickly in the peak season. We highly recommend you book your travel early to avoid disappointment.
Why visit Patagonia?
Located at the southern end of South America, Patagonia is a region shared by Argentina and Chile. From snow-capped mountains to picturesque fjords, stunning lakes and impressive volcanoes, a Patagonia tour really has it all.
While adventure-seeking travellers will be able to give their hiking boots a good work out trekking or horse riding through Torres Del Paine, biking through Valdez Peninsula or skiing down the slopes of Tierra del Fuego, there is also plenty to do for the more slow-paced traveller.
Staring at the magnificent views, cruising the fjords of Chile, or visiting one of the many wineries are just some of the equally exciting but less exertive activities to be enjoyed on a tour across the dramatic, windswept settings of Patagonia.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, most Antarctic expeditions depart from Ushuaia or Punta Arenas, both in southernmost South America. This makes it easy to add time in Patagonia before or after your Antarctic expedition cruise.
Yes, there are many amazing ways to enjoy Patagonia, even if you prefer not to hike. Relax in your luxury accommodation, take in a spa treatment, visit one of the area's many glaciers and lookout points, or visit a local museum.
Spanish is the official language of both Chile and Argentina, so it helps to know a little bit. However, in the major tourist areas, you can almost always find English-speaking assistance. Your local Chimu guides will also be fluent in English.
You could spend anything from a few days to a few weeks on your Patagonia travels, depending on whether you plan to explore both the Chilean and Argentinian sides including the Lake District, central Patagonia and the South Patagonia Ice Fields, or just focus on one experience such as Torres del Paine National Park. Chimu Adventures offers itineraries to suit every time frame.
What you need to pack will depend on the Patagonia tour that you are taking and the activities that you plan to include, as well as the time of year you are travelling. Except for winter sports, most people travel to Patagonia during the summer months (November to March). Even during these months, there can be extreme variations in climate. Days can range from sunny with temperatures in the 20’s (°C), to rain, hail and even snow and so you need to be prepared for all possibilities. Night temperatures often drop down to around 4-5°C.
When trekking, temperatures at the highest elevations can be as low as -5°C at night. Generally trek temperatures are 4-8°C at night and 15-20°C during the day. Wind is one of the constant factors in Patagonia and can manifest itself in the form of a constant breeze or a strong gale.
If you are on a hotel or lodge based tour then items such as sleeping bags are not necessary. If your tour involves trekking where you will be staying in refugios or camping, then you will need to pack a good quality sleeping bag and clothes suitable for the possible climatic variations.
