Patagonia Adventure Retreat
Torres del Paine, Patagonia
March 28th -April 5th, 2025
Cost: $TBD
Hello and Welcome to Women’s Quest!
Welcome to the adventure of a lifetime! Join us for our one-of-a-kind retreat to Answer the call of the wild at Women’s Quest Patagonia Retreat in Torres del Paine National Park, home of mountains that pierce the sky, azure lakes, blue and white glaciers, and endless expanses of plains and sky.
Eons of ice, water, wind, and tectonic forces have crafted this refuge for pure nature and adventure – Patagonia. Be awed by the spectacular granite peaks of Torres Del Paine, come face to face with the immensity of Grey Glacier, hike through the forests of French Valley, encounter guanacos, rheas, and condors on nature walks, trek through rolling pampas, and fall in love with a land that both challenges and inspires everyone who visits. All this and more awaits in Patagonia, where rustic comfort and adventure meet.
Get ready for an AWESOME week of fun and adventure. We look forward to seeing you in Patagonia!
Please feel free to call or write if you have further questions.
With excitement and anticipation,
The Women’s Quest Staff
What to Expect at the Patagonia Adventure Retreat
On the first morning we will visit we will visit Puerto Natales and climb the beautiful hill just outside the town – our first welcome to the Patagonian wind. The following day we will visit our local yoga teacher and be treated to yoga, meditation, cooking class, volunteering and a delicious lunch. Then, for the next 6 days we will wake each morning to the beautiful view of Cordillera Paine and make our way to the Yoga dome for yoga followed by a healthy and hearty breakfast. Each day we will have exciting excursions – hiking the Cerro del Paine, biking the blue lagoon (Laguna Azul), horseback riding with our Basqueano (Patagonian Cowboy) , taking a catamaran to the trek of the Valle Frances (French Valley) , boat trip to Grey Glacier and an afternoon of giving back – planting much needed trees after the devastating fire of 2011. Our last day we will sail to Magdalena Island to visit the world renown penguin colony.
