The Singular Lodge affords guests a chance to experience everything the Chilean Patagonia has to offer. Set on 100 acres of grounds lining the Fjord of Last Hope, the lodge is well removed from civilization; indeed, the lodge’s location is one of its most appealing features, as this luxury five-star hotel is just a short distance from the spectacular Torres del Paine National Park. While staying at the lodge, the Singular's team of expert guides will provide you a full spectrum of excursions. With over 20 different expeditions of varying degrees of difficulty, guests can hike past icebergs, kayak along scenic bays, explore by mountain bike or on horseback, or visit a working Patagonian sheep farm. Trips also include excursions to the Torres del Paine and speedboat trips on the Last Hope Sound to the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers. The lodge’s varied excursions have been designed for all levels of ability, so each afternoon the lodge's bilingual guides will meet with you to explain your different options for the following day.
“The trip to the Galapagos was really fantastic! Although it was quite short, the trip itinerary made time for us to do quite a lot of things. Everything went very smoothly, too.”
AM: After a 3-1/2 hour flight from Santiago (Chile) or Buenos Aires (Argentina), followed by a 2-1/2 hour drive, you will arrive at the Singular Patagonia Lodge, situated five minutes outside of the picturesque bayside town of Puerto Natales. After a chance to enjoy lunch, you can prepare for your afternoon activity or simply relax.
PM: This afternoon, we will leave the lodge and head 18 kilometers north of Puerto Natales to the small rural village of Puerto Prat, which dates back to 1899 as the first town founded in Last Hope Province. Once we reach the settlement, we will start our “Pioneers’ Hike” to Puerto Consuelo. Trekking along the shore of the Eberhard Fjord, you can admire the unique Chilean Patagonia landscape that harbors such a great history of sovereignty and social development. Here, you will experience the sheep farming traditions of this area that is surrounded by large mountain ranges, while you will have a striking view of Torres del Paine National Park on the horizon. Note: this is also an excellent area for birdwatching.
AM: This morning, we will board a cruise vessel and set sail for Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, arriving first at the dock of Port Toro. From there, we will hike for about 45 minutes to the Serrano Glacier. Afterwards, we will return to the boat and continue sailing to the Balmaceda Glacier.
PM: For lunch, a typical Patagonian lunch will be waiting as we set off to the La Peninsula Ranch. This afternoon at the ranch, you can choose to go horseback riding or trekking along the scenic trails in the area, or just rest and relax at the manor home and explore the attractions there.
AM: On your last day at the Singular Patagonia Lodge, (and depending on the time of your flight home or onward), we can go bicycling around the town of Puerto Natales, pedaling along the Pedro Montt Coastal Road, passing farmlands on the outskirts of the city, and riding around the edge of the Señoret Canal, which offers a spectacular view. From there we go to the heart of the city to see Arturo Prat Plaza (the city’s main square), the Municipal Museum of History and the Etherh Aike Arts & Crafts Village, which defines this picturesque city. We will return to the hotel by bicycle.
PM: After reaching the lodge for lunch, you will be driven back to the appropriate airport. As you head to that airport for your departing flight home or onward, enjoy your last look back at spectacular Patagonia, a unique region of inspiring natural wonders.
