8 Days Patagonia With the Kids 12 + Adventure Tour Package
Duration: 8 Days / 7 NIghts Priced From: $8,995 pp dbl. occ. Dates: Dec Start/Finish: El Calafate / San Carlos de Bariloche


With much of the world thoroughly explored, mapped and colonized, it sometimes feels as though there are no untouched corners left to discover. Once you’ve visited Patagonia, though, you’ll think differently; a devastatingly beautiful region straddling the Andes in southern Argentina, the sense of isolation afforded by this unyieldingly wild place is simply spellbinding. A land of rocky peaks, remote lakes, imposing glaciers and friendly, hardy people, Patagonia remains raw, wild and wondrously untamed.
On this trip, we’ll take you and the kids across glittering Lago Argentino to explore the impressive ice breakages of the Upsala Glacier, deep into the mountains to see how the gauchos (Argentine cowboys) live, and down the rocks themselves on a safe-yet-still-thrilling rappelling adventure. And just like every B&R With the Kids trip, the whole family gets to enjoy the fun with ample time together and apart.
Trip Highlights
• View the amazing Upsala Glacier up-close from the deck of a catamaran
• Sleep over at Estancia Cristina, a cattle ranch-turned-luxury-resort deep in the mountains
• Enjoy a spirited game of futbol on the most isolated (and gorgeous) soccer pitch in the world
• Hike across the Perito Moreno Glacier with the help of crampons (ice-cleats)
• Tuck into a traditional asado dinner: beef grilled as only the Argentines can
• Bike along the shores of Rio Manzo for a first-hand glimpse of Patagonians at work and play
• Kayak, boulder and rappel to your heart’s content in Nahuel National Park
Tour Accommodations
Estancia Cristina, El Cafante When you first arrive at the site of this hotel, your mind may boggle at how it was ever possible for the Masters to build this estancia and raise a family in such an isolated pocket of Patagonia. While the Masters’ original home and barn are part of our tour, the warmth of Estancia Cristina’s rooms and common areas is what has really gotten people talking about this hotel. Newly built and stylishly decorated, our stay here against the backdrop of “real” Patagonia seems slightly surreal.
Hostería Los Notros, Lago Argentino
Every room at the Los Notros hotel has a view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Add a pisco sour cocktail and you’ve got yourself a slice of heaven on earth.
Puema Hue, Nahuel Huapi National Park Once you see this gorgeous country lodge, you’ll understand why Puema Hue has become the pride and joy of its owner, Evelyn. Positioned in an absolutely spectacular setting on Lago Mascardi in Nahuel Huapi National Park, the lodge is composed of several buildings spread over 210 hectares of stunning mountain, lake and valley scenery. The horse stable is managed as much by the estate’s fun-loving dogs as by anyone else!
