About Patagonia Hikes
Born in Patagonia. Rooted in the mountains. Dedicated to sharing the world's most spectacular wilderness.
Born From a Love of
Wild Patagonia
Patagonia Hikes was founded in 2008 by Simon Brun, who came to El Chaltén at just 22 years old and fell in love with the mountains of Patagonia. What started as sharing this spectacular wilderness with a handful of adventurous travelers has grown into one of Patagonia's most trusted guiding companies.
"Every person who walks into these mountains should leave changed. That is our mission — to be the door to that transformation."
— Simon Brun, Founder
