Luis Acharez· Patagonia Photo Journey

Patagonia, in your own photos.

Signature photography experiences in El Calafate. Small groups, the quiet hours of the day and a professional photographer by your side. No photography experience needed.

Three experiences created by Luis Acharez so you take home more than a memory: a way of looking at the landscape, and the photos to prove it.

Experiences

Operated by ON Patagonia Adventures. All three are available as private departures, in Spanish, Portuguese or French.
