... shape life in Patagonia. Everyone has not been here for a long time yet and has dealt with the dream of living in the countryside. Most have built their own house and are self-sufficient. Since no one is particularly rich, the relationships between neighbors are solidary: helping each other with the construction of a shed, exchanges vegetables for a piglet, advises on the yield of the garden, brings back a runaway horse and meets as often as possible for a chat Mate tea , the Argentine national drink.

Wealth of time
and closeness to nature connects people here. The landscape is so overpowering that it gives the reassuring idea of ??the unimportance of human creation. We live with the feeling that the choice of the direction is unnecessary if you want to start exploring.

The vastness of the Patagonian landscapes

But above all we have learned from Bernabé. More than 15 years ago, he took us on horseback for the first time and led us to the incredible places that only find out who is from here and travel with the horse for months at any time of the year:
The house of the last Argentine settler Don Ervuedo on Lago Esperanza off the Chilean border, passes where condors sail, 200 meters wide rivers to cross, forests with millennial Alerce trees, hidden mountain lagoons and, last but not least, Cerro Plataforma Mountain phenomenon of a truncated cone whose huge plateau is formed from prehistoric fossils.

Our motivation :
That which we love in this place and that inspires us daily, authentically and in co-operation with local partners, to convey the travelers from Europe. The guiding principle of our offers is the central question of every traveler:

What are you looking for in the distance?
The book of answers to this has not yet come to an end, but our own experience shows: Who wants to keep up with the head of civilization or must and within a technically and socially highly complex environment, the performance-optimized work process, which needs compensation: tangible experiences in which the natural aspects of his individuality are required and simple actions produce clear results.

On horseback or on foot
Walking in a group for days through almost deserted landscapes offers the opportunity to experience freedom, team spirit, leisure, contemplation and overcoming borders. There are always concrete achievements that are accompanied by the satisfaction of the work done: When we look back after about nine hours ride from the pass to the valley or after the bamboo reed forest at the glacier.

Our offers
are not geared to high-performance athletes - and even if some of the tours have quite an expedition character - not to outdoor acrobats, but to people who have preserved their love of nature and want and trust to penetrate further into nature and landscape, as with a stay on a campsite or trekking on your own would be possible. In this sense, we are not looking for artificial adventures, because the encounters and events on our journeys into the wilderness are adventurous enough. We can not compete with the real heroes here anyway. This becomes clear at the latest, if one participates in a cattle marking and sees how the gauchos ride out of fun on the young bulls Rodeo.

Principles of sustainability

As an organizer of trekking tours in Patagonia, we are constantly dealing with a dilemma that almost every provider of adventure travel in ecologically and socially untouched regions is confronted with - or should be: we contribute as a professional organizer of "outdoor activities" just changing what was the original inspiration for our business - namely the breathtaking nature and authentic warmth of the locals?

What emerged from a friendship 15 years ago has become a professionally managed company today, and the partnership has grown into friendship. To maintain the original momentum of our endeavors, we have developed a series of guiding principles:

• We try to convey to our guests that a Journey into the wild is, not just an adventure, but first and foremost a privilege.

• We seek the path, not the destination and authenticity is more important to us than perfection and beauty.
• It is better to work with the locals in the network than to offer all services alone.
• The business has to be small and personal.
• And last but not least: nothing is left or buried on a tour; we bring back the human waste.
