Territories Patagonia Uniquely Chile : Journey Highlights

There’s more to Patagonia than meets the eye; more than snow-capped mountains, sparkling fjords, and wide-open spaces. There are people: rug makers, gauchos, farmers, herders, hosteria operators, environmentalists, salmon farmers, and the list goes on. Meet some of those people on this special journey into the soul of Patagonia. You’re not a tourist on this journey, you’re a guest.

• Walking: Wander through old-growth evergreen Valdivian rain forest, walk to waterfalls, and go afoot to a gaucho camp for lunch and a visit with the family.
• Horseback riding: Ride the Patagonian range with gauchos.
• Gaucho fiesta: Celebrate the gaucho lifestyle at an authentic, non-tourist regional rodeo.
• Markets: Visit organic farms and a small factory where handcrafted rugs are created from local wool.

“This wholly unique, human-interest trip is in a league of its own. Travelers meet gaucho families living in seclusion off the land, stay at a historic working estancia, and visit a vast conservation project that includes small, sustainable farms. ‘Uniquely Chile’ is a true cultural experience.” —Keith McHugh, OBP Travel Advisor
