Exploring Patagonia with Inspirato: A Journey of Wonders 

Inspirato recently took its members on a transformative journey to Patagonia, a region that remains one of the world’s last great wildernesses. From the wind-swept peaks of the Andes to the serene waters of the Lakes District, this Inspirato Only experience was a perfect blend of adventure, luxury, and camaraderie. 

Unparalleled Accommodations 

The trip began with an introduction to two of Patagonia’s most breathtaking properties: The Singular Hotel in Patagonia and Vira Vira in the Lakes District. At The Singular, members were awed by the marriage of historical charm and modern luxury, with spectacular views and attentive service. Vira Vira, nestled amid lush greenery, was a culinary and aesthetic masterpiece. Both properties received rave reviews for their luxurious settings, stunning views, and exceptional service from the staff.  

Activities: Adventure Meets Awe

Patagonia provided a playground of epic proportions. Members explored diverse activities that catered to every preference: 

  • Hiking adventures: A full-day tour introduced members to the majesty of Patagonia’s landscapes. While strong winds altered the planned route, an alternative viewpoint rewarded them with postcard-worthy vistas. The Lakes District was perfect with 75 degrees and sunny and blue skies every day. Members joked that Inspirato must have called in a favor to get such great weather! 
  • Horseback riding: Participants saddled up for a half-day trek through the National Park. For seasoned equestrians and novices alike, the ride was a chance to connect with Patagonia’s rugged beauty. 
  • Glacier boat excursion: This was a unanimous favorite. Members marveled at towering glaciers, embarked on a scenic hike, and enjoyed a traditional BBQ lunch at a local estancia. 
  • Whitewater rafting and scenic floating: The adventure culminated at Vira Vira with exhilarating rapids for the thrill-seekers and a serene float for those seeking tranquility.

Culinary Delights 

Every meal was a revelation. The Singular set a high bar with exquisite dishes, but Vira Vira stole the show with its vibrant, farm-to-table cuisine, which was as artful as it was delicious. Members raved about the creativity and presentation of the meals, many deeming it the best dining experience of their Inspirato travels. 

Travel Without Compromise 

In true Inspirato fashion, travel logistics were handled with care. A charter flight eliminated a lengthy 4.5-hour road transfer, giving members more time to savor their experience. 

The Inspirato Community 

The magic of Inspirato isn’t just in the destinations—it’s in the people. Members quickly formed bonds, sharing stories over meals and hikes. A couple hesitant about group travel left as advocates, already planning their next Inspirato Only experience. Another couple shared, “Experiences are the magic sauce of Inspirato,” celebrating the unique sense of community they found. 

Two members who joined their first Inspirato Only experience on this trip described it as life-changing. One remarked that these trips are the “special sauce” of Inspirato. By the end of the trip, both were completely hooked, already planning their next journey. The sense of connection was palpable throughout, as members bonded quickly, exchanged contact information, and began planning future trips together, reinforcing the unique community that sets Inspirato apart. 

Exceptional Team 

Maria, the group’s AndBeyond host, added a layer of warmth and expertise, navigating language barriers and ensuring seamless transitions. The guides enriched each activity with insights about local history, wildlife, and culture, creating a deeper connection to the region. Not to mention the Inspirato team who were able to bring a vision of taking members to Patagonia to life.
