Planning Patagonia is not about choosing a tour.
It is about understanding how the region works:
distances, seasons, national parks, and where it makes sense to base yourself.
Because the experience isn’t shaped only by the landscapes, but by the rhythm between places, the lodges you stay in, and the people you meet along the way.
We design each Patagonia journey carefully — often beginning with a single, thoughtful conversation.
All journeys are privately designed and adjusted to your pace. Our travelers usually combine Chile and Argentina and spend 2–3 weeks .
After the Journey
Most travelers tell us the same thing when they return from Patagonia.
They didn’t realize how much they needed the space — the quiet mornings, the immense landscapes, and the slower rhythm that lets you truly disconnect.
They talk about long dinners after a day outdoors, about watching the light change over mountains and glaciers, and about how effortless the entire journey felt.
When Patagonia is designed thoughtfully, you stop thinking about logistics — and simply experience the place.
And that is when the journey becomes unforgettable

Hi, we’re Clara and Maria — the Barciela sisters.
We founded Across South America to design journeys that feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply connected to place.
We believe the best trips aren’t about seeing more — but about experiencing places well: the right pace, beautiful lodges, meaningful encounters, and the freedom to simply enjoy the journey.
And creating journeys you’ll never forget.

Every detail was double checked, hotels recommended were excellent, each guide was terrific and all transfers happened seamlessly. They handled flight cancellations and provided alternatives and made sure that we had a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend Across South America!

Two weeks travelling around Chile and Argentina were filled not only with experiences that I was seeking, but opportunities to be immersed in ways I had not imagined. I feel enriched, leaving a little part of me behind in exchange for returning with wonderful memories and new perspectives.
"The entire experience felt like dear friends doing me a favor."

If we had any trouble we only needed to send a quick WhatsApp message and there was an immediate reply. They really listened to what we wanted — the activities were well planned and the customer support above and beyond. This was the trip of a lifetime!

The team at Across South America professionally created and executed an amazing 36-day adventure to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We're discriminating travellers and our expectations were continually exceeded. Highly recommend!
"We've traveled extensively for 20 years and this was the best trip of them all."
Most Patagonia journeys we design combine Chile and Argentina and take between 12 and 20 days.
