Itinerary
The retreat will start the afternoon of Saturday December 28th, 2024, and conclude the late morning of Monday January 6th, 2025.
They have curated a carefully thought-out retreat which is the perfect balance of outdoor adventure activities, quiet reflective time in nature, and challenges to enhance your personal self-development. The location of Patagonia is one of the world’s last remaining pristine regions, and they invite you to share the magic with them.
Days 1-5
Over ten days of an action-packed program, you will experience the best of what Patagonia has to offer, focusing on the beautiful Lake Region. You will meet in the gorgeous lake town of Bariloche in Argentina, famed for its Swiss-style chocolate and its postcard setting.
You will then head to your lodge, where you will stay for the first five nights. From their base, you will do a full day trek to see La Laguna del Glaciar, as well as two other shorter hikes including a New Years Day hike to arrive at an icy swimming spot at the top!
Enjoy optional activities including kayaking, rafting, horse riding, or you can stay at the awesome lodge and go swimming at the private beach of the river located below, or hang out in the jacuzzi or the sauna. And they can even organize a group tango lesson!
Each day, there will be opportunities for cold water immersion as well as breathwork sessions plus informative workshops about cold water therapy with guest facilitator Kevin Connelly.
For New Years Eve, you will be treated to a traditional Argentinian BBQ feast using responsibly sourced ingredients from local farms.
Days 6-10
On Day 6, you travel to the base in Chile, in a private vehicle as well as several lake crossings by boat. The journey itself is spectacular, with snow-capped mountains, valleys, rivers, and lakes to see enroute. The border crossings will be a fun experience too, as they are only accessible by boat.
From your accommodation base where you will stay for the next 3 nights, you can explore the local natural surroundings and swim in the river.
You'll be doing a full day guided hike as well as another day for optional excursions such as packrafting or white water rafting.
You’ll be delving deeper into the science of cold therapy with Kevin as well as daily plunging in the glacier-fed river. And you’ll have the opportunity to stretch your muscles with a yoga class in the log cabin overlooking the turquoise river.
All your meals will be home-cooked and served onsite, and you can gather around the loungeroom with a wood-fired stove to share your experiences.
On day 9, you will travel back to Argentina via a combination of bus, boat, border crossings, and a delicious lunch at a settler’s cottage, and arrive back at the first lodge for your final evening of your trip.
On day 10, you will do your final icy plunge, enjoy breakfast together, then go by bus back to Bariloche where your retreat will conclude. You can also arrange accommodation if you’d like to stay an extra night in Bariloche, or organize transport to Bariloche airport.
