Exploring Patagonia
We have spent the last 20 years traveling throughout Patagonia, from north to south and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, discovering its many natural treasures, and becoming dedicated explorers of this region.
In order to spread our knowledge regarding these formidable regions, some years ago we founded the Sociedad Geográfica de Patagonia y Antártida - SOCGEO - (Geographic Society of Patagonia and Antarctica) with the fundamental purpose of conserving these beautiful lands.
Within this framework, we have created a program of specialized trips to Patagonia, focusing on nature interpretation, photography, birdwatching and whalewatching, covering the most significant protected areas of the region.
This program is set out in our web site that provides information and photographs regarding Patagonia, contributing to the overall awareness of the region. We invite you to explore its contents under the following subjects:About Patagonia Images of the Region Fauna Catalogue Sociedad Geográfica de Patagonia y Antártida
