What to Expect
Overview
The Patagonia Photo Tour is a moderately paced photography trip. The focus of this tour is taking amazing photos of landscapes and wildlife.
Food
We generally have breakfast at the hotel before we head out for the day. We sometimes take a picnic lunch in the field, but will usually stop at a restaurant. Dinner is usually at the lodge or a nearby restaurant, and is usually served quite late, especially in Argentina. Each evening after dinner we review the day’s activities, discuss editing techniques.
Accommodation
Accommodations range from standard hotel rooms to rustic lodges, close to our birding locations.
Walking
The walking on this tour is fairly easy. Trails can be uneven and slippery.
Driving
Most days have a small to moderate amount of driving. There will be two longer drives, but we make several stops along the way.
Climate
During the tour you will encounter a wide variety of weather conditions. Temperatures will vary widely, with the potential for cold conditions – especially on the water. Weather is usually fairly pleasant but we can encounter some strong winds and possibly rain while exploring. During the day it can be warm but unlikely hot, and participants should be prepared for some cool days and cold mornings. Average temperatures range between 2 – 14°C (35 – 57°F.)
Boat Trips
The boat trip at Chilean Fiords will be on a large boat with a washroom on board. Capacity is around 150 people. Navigation is subject to weather, but we usually encounter smooth conditions.
