FIND RELAXATION AND ADVENTURE WITH OUR NEW LIST OF REMOTE HOLIDAYS

Before lockdown, the idea of isolation — of searching for wide-open wilderness, far from civilisation — was something we longed for. To find isolation, and to seek the remote, was to take a break from the crowded rush of everyday life. Once, isolation was about recharging. It was about living well and taking stock.

And that’s exactly why we’re claiming isolation back.

We’ve chosen these experiences, destinations and adventures to bring you closer to the great outdoors, all the while guaranteeing social distance by design. Curated by our Travel Experts down to the smallest detail. This is your ticket to our wide and wonderful world.

#3 Argentina

Wild landscapes, traditional estancias & a solar eclipse 

Scroll

On December 14th 2020, Argentina Patagonia experienced one of the most spectacular natural events in the world – a total solar eclipse – and we had front-row seats. Our ambition here  was to guide travelers to what experts call the “G eclipse point” – the perfect place from which to watch the eclipse – in the rugged, otherworldly landscapes of Piedra del Aguila – or the “Stone of the Eagle”. And we pulled it off perfectly.

Although the eclipse is over, our Blink camp service is far from it. On the isolated banks of the Collon Cura river, we’ll pitch you up with a luxurious dome tent conjured out of the air itself. Private chefs, traditional asado barbeques, horse-riding and stargazing. It’s a place to come together, to tell stories, and to dream.

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

  • Trek into the Patagonian steppe around Tres Rios. Go fishing, horseback ride in the Collon Cura Valley, and enjoy an Argentina BBQ by night.
  • Observe the total solar eclipse from the surreal surrounds of the G Eclipse Point
  • Spend your days kayaking, mountain biking and horseback riding in beautiful Bariloche.
