Guided Patagonia Hiking Trips

Exploring the Best of Patagonia

International trips have been a part of the SYMG catalog since 1991, and we're proud to have organized and executed many memorable trips for our guests over the years. What started with mountaineering trips in South America ultimately led to our current Patagonia programs, showcasing the stunning, remote Chilean landscapes. These uniquely crafted itineraries are inspired by personal travels and interests, taking you on a Patagonian journey that few people get to see.

Discovery

Travel is more to us than just seeing the big-ticket highlights; it’s about discovering the rhythm of a place, finding appreciation for the unplanned moments that can’t be written into itineraries, and exploring our own selves through the challenges that wilderness travel presents.

Companionship

The people who make up each trip are just as important to us as the places we explore. We strive to foster an environment conducive to building long-lasting friendships and connecting with local folks along the way.

Immersion

Uniquely crafted itineraries inspired by the personal travels of our renowned guiding staff set SYMG's international trips apart, and our small-group adventures leave plenty of room to slow down and enjoy the special moments.

Testimonials

"If there was a category beyond excellent I would use it to describe our guide. From the moment we met at the airport until our final departure he was 100% engaged with us. His love of Chile, the people and the land came through in all of our activities. From hiking through Tagua Tagua, identifying flora & fauna, identifying native birds and discussing the history of Chile (both environmental and cultural). His interaction with all of our hosts, drivers and those we met on the trail was always carried out in a very kind, joyful and expert manner. Jason's attention to detail was amazing. There were a lot of connections to make, with our combination of hiking, boating and van rides, which were all carried out in a seamless fashion. His meal planning was great, always had plenty of food. Many delicious dinners in the Refugios (one even including salmon). He far exceeded our expectations as a guide. He felt like a good friend by the end of the trip and his love of the Chilean forest and mountains will always be with us."

- Russ and Karen S, Classic Torres del Paine 2018

"We had an amazing time, and it was such a wonderful bonding and learning experience for our family. We are so grateful to Jason for agreeing to take our children - we have a hard time finding companies that allow children, even on private trips. (Despite ours hiking as well as many adults!) Our travel with Jason was very smooth, and we enjoyed some excellent meals and lodging. Northern Patagonia is a very special place, and we loved exploring it."
