What is Patagonian Guides?
We are IFMGA mountain guides and tour operators specializing in Alps and Patagonia, the southernmost region of Argentina and Chile. We organize and guide your own private trips and expeditions for ice climbing, sport rock climbing, alpine climbing, mountaineering, off-piste & freeride, backcountry skiing and ski the volcanoes for all ages and expertise levels: from the Fitz Roy climbing, to a sport climbing initiation; from a volcanoes ski touring to a off-piste day.

Why are we different?
If you choose to travel with us you'll get to know the Alps and Patagonia in a more intimate way, guided by a local team of international certified guides. Our trips are a lot more than just beautiful landscapes. Our guides know about the environmental issues facing the land and its inhabitants as the pressures of industry, tourism and development continue to grow. They have an intimate understanding of Alps and Patagonia because it is where they choose to live and work.
