Planet 5 exists for those who want to be closer.
Closer to the landscapes that shape the planet. Closer to the cultures that have lived alongside them for generations. Closer to experiences that cannot be replicated, purchased, or performed.
Patagonia is one of those places. Ice fields that predate human memory. Gauchos whose grandparents rode these same grasslands. Pumas moving through scrubland where few outsiders have ever walked.
This is not a destination. It is a threshold.
Philosophy
The New Luxury Is Participation
For today's most discerning travelers, luxury is measured in proximity, access, and participation. In knowing the difference between passing through and being invited in.
This expedition embodies that shift. Fourteen days linking bush planes, horses, feet, boats, and trucks. Camps under stars. Estancias with gaucho families. Expedition vessels through fjords where glaciers calve into the sea.
Not itinerary. Through-journey.
The Experience
The Journey
Aviation as Arrival
Fly into places you cannot reach any other way. Land on lakes and rivers where camps are waiting. Gauchos arrive on horseback. Asado prepared over open fire. This is not transit. This is arrival.
Walking Through the Canyons
A multi-day trek through Patagonia with horses and a support team moving alongside. Rewilding specialists join not as guides for a day, but as companions for the journey. Sleep in camps. Wake to mountains. End at a glacial lake, then continue by 4x4 toward the next horizon.
Estancias and Gaucho Country
Their way of life is changing. Spending time with them will not last forever. Sleep in working estancias. Ride with families who have shaped these lands for generations. Horses, dogs, sheep, and skills refined across lifetimes. This is not cultural performance. This is invitation.
Puma Tracking
Small groups with field biologists tracking apex predators through Patagonian scrubland. Learn to read signs. Understand territorial behavior. Witness predator ecology as researchers do, not as tourists observe. This is fieldwork, not safari.
Navigation Through the Channels
Board expedition vessels into the fjords of Chile where few have reason to go. Glaciers calving. Mountains rising straight from the water. Navigate by weather, by instinct, by what the day allows.
Glaciers and the Towers of Patagonia
Stand before walls of ice that have shaped this landscape for millennia. Witness the Towers at dawn, granite spires catching first light. These are the images that define Patagonia, and you will be there when they happen.

What Makes This Different
Everything we offer is something you cannot book on your own.
Wall tents with campfires, sheepskin blankets, outdoor dining under the stars. Small groups of four or five, never twelve walking together. Estancias and remote camps over hotels. Land Rovers through working lands, not tour vans on paved roads.
Access over spectacle. Presence over programming. Small scale over reach.

To collect art is to choose what you live with. To travel well is to choose how you move through the world. Planet 5 offers a way to do both with intention, through art, guardianship, and experience, without noise, without posturing, and without compromise.
This is the art of being there.
