EXPLORE LAUNCHES NEW HIKING TRIPS IN PATAGONIA FOR 2025
Explore has announced the addition of a new 11-night Hiking in Patagonia – Glaciers & Torres del Paine tour to its collection, with departures from November 2025 now on sale.
This hiking trip combines Chile and Argentina to take you off the beaten track to see Patagonia at its wild, windswept best. We still include the iconic moments, including a day walk to the base of the Torres spires, but we also get you away from the crowds to less-visited spots where you’ll have the wide-open spaces to yourselves.
The trip costs from £4,999 per person, including 11 nights’ accommodation (including three nights in a simple ‘refugio’) with breakfast and some additional meals, activities and excursions, and transport, with an Explore tour leader throughout. Flights are not included. The first departure will run on 9 November 2025.

ARGENTINA
Estancia Los Potreros
The Gauchos of Argentina
Long before Estancia Los Potreros operated in tourism, the Begg family, were well-known as livestock farmers, the primary use of the estancia was to breed an award-winning herd of Aberdeen Angus, this tradition remains. Today we successfully farm Aberdeen Angus and have a herd of over 100 horses. Aspects of the estancia are run by our team of gauchos. An ever-growing challenge for us is the battle between Tourism and Authenticity: While tourism can help preserve some aspects of Gaucho culture, there is a risk that it becomes commercialised or “staged,” losing its authenticity in the process and harming the culture and community around us. We have now released our next video teaching the world about the gaucho and what we do on the farm…
Argentina Travel Partners
Argentine Asado at its best
Argentina is known for its beef, so to share in a local asado (barbecue) is an iconic experience which no visitor should miss. There are parrillas on every corner in Buenos Aires, but we recently visited one of the most original, which offers an intimate and shared experience which is unique (and figures in the Michelin guide). A celebration of our heritage and the best grass-fed beef, with guests sitting together at a counter around the fire, watching the grill master at work and trying his 14-step tasting menu hot off the grill, accompanied by excellent wines, as conversation and laughter flows.
If you ask us nicely, we can take you there! Ask Merina Begg who will be at WTM
