Southwind from the planning stages to delivery of the trip in Patagonia were faultless and I really love the little reminders sent for each separate stage and really appreciated the added bits around passport checking and border crossing paperwork. The whole team was super friendly, and for our trip with Fernando he was great company and knew where to stop for refreshments and a view! We would strongly recommend southwind, they go the extra mile on service and have a permanent smile. Thank you guys you were faultless.

I had a great experience with Southwind. They organized a tour for us to visit Monte Leon from El Calafate. Fernando & Laura organized the logistics and were very helpful. Martin accompanied us on the tour and doubled up as driver and tour guide, which was beyond our expectations. We saw a lot of wildlife en route, as well as in the park with Martin’s help. I highly recommend Southwind for your Patagonia experience.

The agency proved to be extremely professional. During the long transfer, in an impeccably clean and perfectly maintained vehicle, Mr. Fernando was very attentive to ensure that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this agency for organizing your trips to South America. Only 5 stars because I can't give more!

Maria and her team looked after us so well. I would recommend them in a flash. It was 20 years since I had been to El Calafate so I didn't know what to expect. It had changed so much! Maria was helpful, honest, well priced and a pleasure to work with. You could not ask for more. We had the best time thanks to Maria and her organisation. Fernando was our driver to a tour and a delight. Punctual, knowledgeable and all round wonderful. Gracias!!

A fabulous company to travel with: the sequencing of the trip, the guides proposed, the suggestions for the area. We highly recommend this travel agency for Patagonia. Fernando is top+top.

Gerardo drove us on a bespoke 8- day trip from Salta up into the wilderness where the 🦩 come to get pink. We had a great time in this spectacular region.

Amazing company and experience. We did the Todo Glaciares boat tour in the Premium Lounge and it was beyond expectations! Great staff, great cruise and food! Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Southwind Experience is based in El Calafate, Patagonia — not in Buenos Aires, not overseas. That means the team managing your itinerary operates in the same time zone as your destination, knows current conditions on both sides of the Argentina-Chile border firsthand, and can respond in real time if anything needs adjusting while you're traveling.

Most of our clients are international travelers from the US, UK, Australia, and Europe planning their first or second trip to Argentina and Chile — typically in pairs or small private groups, traveling for 10 to 21 days. They've done their research, know which regions interest them, and want an expert to connect the logistics rather than starting from scratch on their own.

It starts with a conversation about your dates, regions of interest, pace, and travel style. From there we design a private route with specific accommodation options, activity sequencing, and cross-border logistics — all before any commitment. Most itineraries go through two or three rounds of adjustment before they're confirmed. There are no planning fees and no obligation until you decide to proceed.

The main difference is in the coordination: domestic flights, border crossings, boutique lodge availability, private guides, and seasonal timing across multiple regions involve dozens of moving parts that are straightforward to manage separately but genuinely complex to align into one coherent trip. A misjudged flight connection or a lodge that fills up can change the character of an entire week. We handle that chain from a single point of contact so you don't manage it piece by piece from the road.

Our base is in Patagonia, but our network covers the full catalog: Buenos Aires, Mendoza wine country, Salta and Northwest Argentina, Iguazú Falls, the Iberá Wetlands, the Atacama Desert, the Carretera Austral, Torres del Paine, and Antarctica. Each region has dedicated local guides and partners who know it specifically — coordinated from El Calafate as the central point of the operation.

For itineraries that include Patagonia during peak season (November through February), starting the conversation 4 to 6 months ahead is recommended — primarily to secure boutique lodge availability in Torres del Paine and El Chaltén, which fills well before the season opens. For other regions or shoulder season travel, there's more flexibility, though the best properties and guides fill faster than most travelers expect.
