Patagonia Photographic Safaris

Grand mountains alone do not make for a great landscape photography destination. Dramatic peaks are merely a background and the foreground is just as important, if not more so. Patagonia is blessed with countless glaciers, which of course means that there are also glacial lakes, waterfalls and rivers, all flowing with icy turquoise water. As if that isn’t good enough, it also has what is arguably the most impressive display of autumn colours found anywhere on earth. During the first two weeks of April, one can expect to see more colours in a single Magellan Beech tree than in some countries’ entire flora.

The final cherry on the cake is extreme latitude that ensures long hours of excellent light. The first intense Alpenglow of sunrise until the last warm morning light can easily last two hours. This means that special light lasts longer, making it easier to capture.

Patagonia has three main attractions; El Chalten and Perito Moreno Glacier on the Argentinian side and Torres del Paine on the Chilean side. A trip of 10 – 14 days is recommended to take in all it offers.

C4 Photo safaris curates private and custom options into Patagonia. We have run many expeditions to this location and have great experience in planning it for the best season and images.
