Lucy

Argentina & Chile Specialist

From a young age I have had the privilege of traveling to many areas of the world, from backpacking with my family for a month in India, embarking on a solo adventure island hopping in Greece, to completing a ski season in the French Alps.

Recently, my travels have taken me to South and Central America for five months. It was here I discovered that Latin America truly stole my heart, particularly the extensive countries being Argentina and Chile. I fell in love with the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia, endless world-class Malbecs and otherworldly terrains in the alien Atacama desert.

As my travels across these magical countries came to an end, I realised how much I want to channel this passion into experiences for others to enjoy and for others to immerse themselves through the food, people, culture and history of these incredible countries.

Q&A with Lucy

Lucy in Puerto Varras

What’s the one thing you always pack?

Packing cubes! When travelling to South America it's important you are fully prepared for all weather conditions which may occur. Being able to fit all this stuff into a 23 kg bag can be a struggle, even more so without packing cubes.

Capybara, Pantanal

Where would you love to travel next?

I would love to head to the northeast of Argentina which is home to the Iberá Wetlands. I have always been wildlife obsessed and here you have a high chance of seeing one of South America’s icons — the capybara.

Torres del Paine National Park

Your best piece of travel advice?

My tip is in regards to Patagonia, don’t underestimate what to pack, no matter the season. Ensure you have lots and lots of layers, a waterproof jacket, sunglasses and a sturdy pair of hiking boots. I learnt this the hard way when trekking to the famous Three Towers in Torres Del Paine.
