Undiscovered Patagonia Photography Tour

We say undiscovered because it is a region of Patagonia that has had fewer photographers and visitors. Get ready for an unforgettable journey through the stunning landscapes of northern Patagonia, specially designed to showcase the magnificent Fall Colours of this pristine wilderness. This is our 21st expedition to the breathtaking Andes Mountains, and it’s your chance to be part of an exceptional experience in one of the world’s last great wild frontiers. Discover Nature’s Masterpiece: The Andean mountains rise dramatically from the plains, creating some of the most picturesque landscapes you can imagine. As autumn unfolds, the beech trees and other indigenous species transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, painting the scenery with a breathtaking palette. When set against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks, these fall colours create an extraordinary opportunity for stunning and creative photography.
