​Day 1: Arrival Day

We will arrive in the beautiful Argentinian town of El Calafate where we will spend our first two nights. The workshop will start at noon with a meet and greet and lunch. After lunch, we will take advantage of the soft afternoon light at the famous Perito Moreno Glacier.

*We recommend arriving in El Calafate at least one day prior to the start of our workshop to allow for any possible travel delays that could be encountered and to recover from jetlag.

 

Day 2:

We will depart early from our hotel for a morning full of photographing glaciers and icebergs from close distances. Patagonia is home to the 3rd biggest glacier system in the world, and we will see at least three of those glaciers from up close. After our boat ride, we will grab a quick lunch and then spend the rest of our day in the Perito Moreno Park where we will capture various angles and compositions of the deep blue glacier.

Days 3-8: Torres del Paine National Park

After breakfast, we will check out of our hotel in El Calafate and begin our journey across Argentina and into Chile. This will be a 4-5 hour drive, so make yourself comfortable on our bus during the ride as we drive towards this incredible park. Don’t get too comfortable though, as we may encounter the opportunity to photograph wild flamingos along the way. Weather conditions will be in control of this journey, so upon arriving in Torres del Paine, we may either go straight to shooting, or to check in at our hotel. Either way, we will be out and exploring for sunset this evening. As mentioned before, the weather in Patagonia is ever-changing and can be wild. Brace yourselves for conditions you have never been in before. From incredible winds, to wild skies full of lenticular clouds, to blazing sunsets and sunrise, and days full of rainbows... Patagonia has it all.

​

With that said, our itinerary is always changing and we ask that you please be flexible. We will follow the light and conditions as we venture out each day to shoot. We will be out for every sunrise and sunset, and if conditions allow, there will be some shooting in the middle of the day and possible at night for the Milky Way and Southern Cross. The weather in this region is completely unpredictable, so be on your toes as we will do our best to take you to the best locations with the best conditions. And remember, some of the “worst” weather conditions make for the best photographs.

 

We have plenty of great locations in store for you so there will be no shortage of great compositions. Some places are so stunning that we may even visit them twice to get the best light we can. There is also the chance to encounter and photograph some stunning wildlife in Patagonia. This could include flamingos, pumas, guanaco, and more. A few locations will require a small hike (up to 2 miles round trip) but non are the hikes are physically demanding. These will take place on mostly flat ground. We will make sure to take the hikes at a smooth, relaxing pace.

 

Day 8: Depart Torres del Paine

This will be our last sunrise session in the park before we check out and make our way back to El Calafate in Argentina. Although this will be our last full morning of photograph, it won’t be limited. Expect to make a couple of stops on the way out of the park.

 

Day 9: Departure Day

This is your day to depart back home.
