Who we are, where we create from and why it matters.

Ethos Patagonia is rooted in a living relationship with the land we call home. Shaped by the wild shores of Lake Chelenko in southern Chile, our practice is guided by rhythm, presence, and a celebration of true beauty.

Our paths lead us between Patagonia and different corners of the world, bringing together decades of experience in hospitality, thoughtful design, and purposeful travel. What unites us isn’t just expertise, but a deep conviction: that travel can be generous, mindful, and profoundly human.

At Ethos Patagonia, we see each journey as a living practice—a promise shaped by landscape, culture, and the pace of real connection. Every experience is artfully curated, designed with care, adapted to the seasons, and grounded in relationship—with place, with people, and with yourself.

This project grows through a vibrant network: local guides, cooks, hosts, and collaborators who offer warmth, knowledge, and presence to every moment.

Together, we weave experiences that are authentic, restorative, and rich in meaning—welcoming each traveler into the heart of Patagonia’s story.

Our current journeys

  • Spring in Patagonia

    Spring in Patagonia

    USD 3.400.-

    Spring awakens Patagonia with a gentler rhythm.

    This journey is designed to follow that seasonal unfolding: we walk through valleys just turning green, we photograph golden lights, we eat what the land begins to offer, and we rest with intention.

    Walk with us
  • Stillness in the wild

    Stillness in the wild

    USD 3,800.-

    If you’re looking for silence that speaks, for comfort that doesn’t isolate you from the wild, and for experiences guided by presence rather than performance — this retreat is for you.

    No rigid schedules. No pressure to perform. Just space to reconnect.

  • Winter Explorations

    Winter Explorations

    USD 2,400.-

    A short journey through Patagonia’s winter — where the landscape rests, the skies open wide, and each step becomes a way to listen.

    These curated experiences offer gentle rhythm and seasonal richness: snow-dusted trails, low sun over lenga forests, time by the fire, and open space for wonder.

    Reach out, we’re listening

Walking into the unknown

A guide to entering Patagonia with presence, care, and curiosity

This is more than travel advice — it’s an invitation to begin differently. Discover how silence, culture, and rhythm shape each step of the journey, and prepare to engage with the land and its people in a way that feels real, respectful, and deeply human.

Every journey quietly begins long before the first step.

It often arises as a gentle question, a reflective pause, or that subtle sense of being drawn toward what feels most real. When you notice something within you already reaching forward—a quiet longing to connect or explore—we are here, ready to welcome you and walk alongside you.
