August at Estancia Cerro Guido ❄️

August marked the end of Estancia Cerro Guido’s special winter program, offering a unique glimpse into Patagonia under snow.

One of the month’s highlights was an unforgettable sheep herding, with more than 2,500 sheep brought to the shed for eye and groin shearing. Set against snow-covered fields with the Paine Towers in the distance, this traditional ranching task captured the essence of winter life at Cerro Guido.

The scene was beautifully documented by renowned photographer and filmmaker Timothy Dhalleine.

Spring is just around the corner in Antarctica.

As winter gives way to spring, Gentoo penguins will soon be getting busy—courting, bowing, calling, gathering nesting materials, and preparing for the breeding season ahead.

This is part of what makes early spring in Antarctica such a special time to visit. Wildlife activity intensifies as penguins return to their colonies, courtship begins, and the continent slowly awakens after the long winter. With dramatic landscapes still wrapped in snow and ice, it’s a season of incredible contrasts—and one of the most exciting times to experience Antarctica.

Spring is coming. Antarctica is waking up. 🌊🐧

The sky has a date. Make a journey of it. 🌑

On 6 February 2027, the Moon will pass across the Sun above northern Patagonia, creating an extraordinary ring of fire.

In Futaleufú, the annular phase will last almost seven and a half minutes—but the eclipse is only part of the experience.

Go for the sky. Stay for the river, the mountains and the adventure. Spend the day rafting the turquoise Futaleufú River, explore forested valleys and Andean landscapes, and discover one of northern Patagonia’s most spectacular corners.

Because the best eclipse journeys aren't just about what happens above you.

They’re about everything you experience along the way.

For returning travelers Hilary and Jeff, Peru was next to tick off their bucket list. Here's what they had to say about their experience:

This was our third trip to South America with Knowmad Adventures, and we couldn't be more pleased! Colin worked with us to plan the perfect custom itinerary combining adventure with luxury accommodations, and the trip was just spectacular. By day, we hiked Machu Picchu as well as several explorations within the Sacred Valley, and in the evenings we were pampered at the Explora and the Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco. The food, scenery, guides, and adventures were unforgettable, and it was invaluable knowing that Knowmad and their in-country guides were taking care of us and all of the details every step of the way. After three amazing adventures with Knowmad, we wouldn't travel to South America without them.

Winter may be in full swing, but Patagonia’s spring is just around the corner.

Wildflowers bloom, trails reopen, wildlife becomes more active, and the landscapes come alive.

If Patagonia is on your bucket list, spring is one of the best times to experience it.

We love when our travelers return to Knowmad to plan new adventures. This is Suzette and Dennis' fourth trip with us, and it didn't disappoint!

Dennis and I had a great time in Peru. We really enjoyed the itinerary that you help crafted for us. It was interesting, educational and a lot of fun. From the start of the trip in Lima where we had a chance to not only see the city, but to enjoy the cuisine, to the amazing dining experience we had at Maido, then to the see the ancient Inca sites in the Sacred Valley and meeting the Peruvian people, to the highlight of the trip hiking the Inca Trail to see Machu Picchu, and finally to exploring the amazon. It was a whirlwind tour of Peru that we will not forget. Thank you for putting together a memorable experience for us.
