Driven Individuals
Like the pioneers who opened up this area, the majority of our clients
are special people looking for something unusual, an adventure. They relish
the fact the travel here is not always easy, that there will be challenges
and that they will be richly rewarded for making the effort to get here
and try something few people have done before them. Most of our clients
are highly successful people with years of business, personal and family
achievments behind them. We understand that, we know that you time and
finances are valuable and that your “vacation” experience
is important to you. We offer a highly personalised service of planning
to accommodate people who have unusual dreams and need the means of turning
those dreams into reality. So, whether you are planning a solo crossing
of the ice cap, want to join a like-minded group to paddle some tough
rivers or complete a long trek or horse ride we can sort you out and guarantee
that your time and money is well spent in getting the results you expect.

In 2002 Jon Burroughs, a retired city lawyer from London decided to
put his long term dream or riding through Patagonia to the test. We
met up with Jon in Futaleufu, helped him buy horses, got him together
with Hector Soto, one of our most experienced horse guides, and kitted
them out with all their saddlery and gear. After a long month Jon had
to retire because of illness which eventually meant returning to London.
In January 2004, Jon returned and once more we got him together with
new horses and Hector. From Lago Verde, their 2003 finishing point,
they set off again and 2 months later arrived in Villa O`Higgins, the
end of the road. In total they rode for 60 days, covered 1000km of trail
and got through 18 horse shoes.
Jon is a good example of one of those driven individuals who put his
dream into action and did something that probably no-one has done before.
Now, he is writing a book about his experience in remote Patagonian
wilderness.
