Patagonia exists at the far ends of our known civilisations and is often misunderstood as a destination - to some, the gateway to Antarctica, for others, an extension of Southern America and for most, a legendary ode to nature in its rawest form. Split between Chile and Argentina, Patagonia’s drama plays out in endless steppe, crystalline glaciers, and peaks that seem to stretch for eternity.

Here, luxury is measured not in opulence, but in access. With Conte, Patagonia unfolds through private encounters that few ever experience: helicopter over the spiked towers of Torres del Paine at sunrise, landing at remote estancias where gauchos ride across the plains as they have for generations. Share meals at private lodges tucked into hidden valleys, where chefs craft menus from the local produce and wildlife.

On the Argentine side, the Fitz Roy Massif and the blue wilderness of Los Glaciares National Park offer scenes of almost otherworldly stillness. Trek alongside our experts through the icefields, or board private boats to glance at the Perito Moreno Glacier from an angle most do not get the chance to witness.

In Chilean Patagonia, exclusive access unlocks hidden lagoons, ancient lenga forests, and secluded pampas where puma sightings are unlikely, but still spoken of by those lucky enough to experience it. Along the fjords of the Última Esperanza Sound, small expedition boats carry you to places unreachable by foot, in an effort to experience the southernmost points of the land with ease.
