Our Service

We are the best value for your money option in Patagonia Adventure Tours. Our tours are not the more expensive ones, but we are not the cheapest either.
We provide all the infrastructure, facilities, transportation, service and knowledge in Patagonia to allow you the best use of your travel time and money.
We know each part of Patagonia as if it were our home, because it’s our home.
And we have designed each tour offered here in detail, using our knowledge and tour operator experience gathered in more than 10 years.


Different ways to lodge according to the passenger needs
We use nice, cozy accommodations, allowing our passengers to choose different ways to lodge.
You can stay in a shared room with group partners; or in a double or single base room the days that this option is available. Not every night all these lodging options are available. We specify in the brochure the options available for each tour.


Nice and cozy lodgings / Not Luxury five stars hotel
We do not use luxury accommodations. In order to stay in touch with the Spirit of Patagonia we use local operated facilities, instead of international hotel chains. The accommodations we use are chosen because of the warm of its people and also because of its excellent hygiene conditions. International Hotel chains don’t even exist in many of the towns we’ll visit in our tours.
Patagonia is a wild, clean and safe place to travel. Luxury five stars hotel are better found in other destinations.


Hostel Room OptionHostel Room Option
When taking this option, the passenger gets a bed in a shared room in a hostel with partners of the same gender. Usually the hostel accommodation is a room with four to six beds. The hostels have complete shared sanitarium services (there are bathrooms with showers for ladies and bathrooms for gentlemen).
Sheets are provided but not the towels. They have facilities to heat water or to cook something if the passenger wants to.
All the hostels we use accomplish the standards that the Youth Hostel associations requires, which assures a level of hygiene and appropriate comfort corresponding to your passenger demands.

It is used in Tierra del Fuego. It is very similar to a hostel, but the beds are "cuchetas" (two superimposed simple beds). They provide sheets but not towels. The refuge is a cabin immerse in the forest with the aspect of a children’s story house. All travelers will love to stay to live there. The refuge has two plants; the superior plant is the bedroom, where 20 beds are located in a big shared room. The lower plant is a warm and cozy dining room. The heating is obtained through a firewood kitchen, which is lit almost the whole day and has always a recipient with hot water on it. Over the kitchen there is also a wooden grill that is used to dry the shoes after each walk. There are also two individual bathrooms with plenty of hot water. People can take a hot water shower once a day and one person at a time. A generator provides the electric light, which is on only during the night.
