Your Private South America

explore and relax in a vast wilderness

Let a travel designer plan your private adventure:












Private Adventures in South America

Destination Argentina and Chile! These two countries provide incredible opportunities to commune with nature. Scantily populated, with a huge vast wilderness, South America is a perfect location for outdoor activities in a private setting.

We’ve handpicked some of our favorite destinations and lodges where you can relax and recreate in a private reserve or park setting. Think glacial rivers, deep-blue lakes, hot springs, volcanoes, mountains, numerous hiking trails, boating, biking, horseback riding, farm-to-table dining, and more.

Get in touch with one of our travel designers, or continue on to see a few of our favorite exclusive journeys.

Lana, my trip planner, connected with me on our very first call and never dropped one detail in creating the most perfect trip for my daughter, grand daughter and myself that I could ever imagine. She knew exactly what I was after and arranged every last detail for me perfectly. I was able to call her with some on-the-fly changes to the itinerary and she and her staff were ON it immediately! We were fortunate beyond belief. Kudos to Elevate Destinations!.

CHILE

Chile offers an extensive and vast wilderness. Take a trip to see a wondrous region beloved by the visionary Douglas Tompkins (founder of Esprit and North Face) who bought and protected vast acreages of land so that future generations could enjoy its splendor.

Lack of infrastructure can make regions of Patagonia challenging to navigate on your own. Elevate can help you access some of the greatest private lodges and nature preserves where you can have a unique wilderness experience combined with total comfort.

Fatangue Hotel and Spa

With over 33,000 acres of private land, this hotel and spa offers you a radically different holiday experience. With 65 miles of private hiking trails, on-site spa, lakes and mountains, you’ll have a vast and private park at your fingertips. Fantangue is great on its own or combined with another destination.

Pata Lodge

Head into utopia at this incredible property. Pata is a sustainability-driven ecolodge that is perfect for families. It offers a comfortable, private experience with sandy beaches along crystal clear rivers, lakes, sailing in pristine fjords, mountains, and an organic farm. Raft on one of the world’s best whitewater rivers, and enjoy plenty of outdoor space where kids can run free and you can recharge and commune with nature.

Vira Vira Lodge in Pucon

This gorgeous retreat is nestled within a lush 54-acre estate that is part of a larger park landscape. There are lakes, rivers, and stunning views of the Villarrica Volcano. Luxuriously equipped suites and villas make this a perfect retreat for privately guided activities. You can take a trip to the hot springs, enjoy some farm-to-table fine dining, or head out on the helicopter to take in the views from above.

ARGENTINA

Patagonia – Exclusive Wilderness

Aguas Arriba is a small, rustic but homey lodge with only six rooms. You have to take a boat to get there — a scenic sail past glaciers — and once you arrive, you’re on the doorstep of a wild, and private version of Southern Patagonia. From the lodge, enjoy impressive views of the towering Mt. Fitzroy and lots of trekking opportunities. This lodge is also great for fly fishing.

Wine Country Retreat

If wine country calls, Entre Cielos is a fabulous way to unwind and bask in the glorious sunshine of Mendoza, Argentina. Nights full of stargazing and wine tasting, and days spent exploring, would make for a welcoming couples retreat! The hotel and spa are set on a 20-acre vineyard with views of the soaring Andes Mountains. The spa and hammam on site offer various treatments for added relaxation.
