2 About This Experience Spread across the southern tip of South America, between Chile and Argentina, Patagonia offers one of the world s most diverse, remote stretches of wilderness. It is the ultimate destination for the adventurous traveler. As part of its Private Travel experience program, Exclusive Resorts has partnered with Quasar Expeditions to offer immersive eight-night, nine-day Jeep expeditions that cover the stunning landscapes of both countries, including Torres del Paine National Park, Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park. Long a destination that required roughing it, Quasar allows guests to experience the full circuit of Patagonian sites in comfort and style. Even in the wilds of nature we make sure you have Wi-Fi and fine wines and the most exceptional hotels to rest your head each night, including the Singular and Tierra Patagonia. Each Jeep holds four adults or a family of five. The independent adventurer can opt to do the driving (each Jeep is equipped with a Garmin navigation system) or you can sit back and sightsee and allow Quasar provide a driver/tour leader. For something in the middle, you can choose to self-navigate and then hire a local guide for select excursions. Don t worry, a Jeep trip with Quasar isn t just about sitting and snapping photos. Along the way your itinerary is sprinkled with incredible hikes, catamaran excursions to watch calving glaciers and horseback rides to hidden lagoons. There are also plenty of authentic experiences like sipping mate at a working estancia with locals.. Page 2 of 5
