PHOTO TOUR
PATAGONIA 2026
When: 1 April - 10 April 2026
I hereby announce my 2nd photo tour to Patagonia. Step into a world of rugged beauty, golden forests, and majestic peaks on this unforgettable 10-day adventure through Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia—one of the most breathtaking regions on Earth. Travel in early April, when autumn paints the landscapes with rich hues of amber, crimson, and gold, and the summer crowds have drifted away - all at the perfect time of year.
Tour Highlights:
-
Marvel at the iconic Torres del Paine National Park, with its granite towers, turquoise lakes, and roaming guanacos.
-
Cross into Argentina and witness the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the last advancing glaciers on the planet.
-
Hike amid towering peaks and fiery forests in El Chaltén, the trekking capital of Argentina and home to the legendary Mount Fitz Roy.
-
Golden hour magic: Early April offers soft, low-angle light throughout the day—ideal for landscapes and long exposures.
-
Autumn fire: Lenga and ñire forests explode with reds, oranges, and golds, adding vibrant contrast to Patagonia’s granite peaks and glacial blues.
-
Expert guidance: Travel with me as your guide. I understand lighting, timing, and the best off-the-beaten-path vantage points.
-
Flexible schedule: Time built in for sunrise/sunset shoots, golden hour hikes, and spontaneous photo stops to capture wildlife like condors, puma's, nandu's (rhea's) and guanaco's.
Whether you're photographing mirror-like lakes, hiking beneath flaming lenga trees, or simply soaking in the silence of Patagonia’s wilderness, this journey is designed to ignite your spirit of adventure and wonder combined with photography.
Spaces are limited for this exclusive autumn departure. The maximum group size is 5 (6 including me).
Designed for (hobby) photographers of all Levels - but who are fit enough to hike for several hours while carrying their camera backpack and climbing to higher elevations (no altitudes that cause altitude sickness).
