PRIVATE HELICOPTER JOURNEYS
Travelling by private helicopter – the best way to access remote or hard-to-reach locations
As transportation options continue to evolve, one mode of travel that has gained popularity in recent years are private helicopter flights. While helicopters have long been used for military and emergency purposes, their use in the private sector has increased in popularity. Explore the many advantages of flying on a private helicopter and how it can enhance your travel experience. Some of these benefits include:
Convenience & Accesability Private helicopter flights can be scheduled according to passengers’ needs. Even more so, private helicopters can take off and land from smaller airports and helipads, which allows passengers to land much closer to their final destination. Speed & Efficiency Larger helicopters are capable of reaching speeds of up to 170-200 miles per hour, which makes them an ideal choice for short-distance trips. With a private helicopter, passengers can travel to their destination quickly and efficiently. Comfort Private helicopters offer comfort: spacious seating arrangements, climate control, and other amenities that can make the flight more pleasant. Plus, passengers can enjoy a more intimate and personalized experience. Accessibility Helicopters are also able to land and take off from a wider range of locations than airplanes, making them an ideal choice for accessing remote or hard-to-reach locations. Private helicopters can land on private helipads, rooftops, and even in remote areas where there are no runways. Privacy Private helicopters offer privacy. Passengers can enjoy their flight without worrying and can go from point A to point B discreetly. Scenic Views Private helicopters can also fly at lower altitudes compared to commercial planes, which means that passengers can enjoy the scenic views along the way. Private helicopters offer a unique and unforgettable perspective on the world. Whether flying over an urban setting or a natural landscape, the view from a helicopter is simply breathtaking.

Stunning Summits of Patagonia Heli & Jet Journey Torres del Paine – Calafate – El Chaltén & Fitz Roy
From amazing Torres del Paine -the most scenic park in Chilean Patagonia– crossing the border to El Calafate in Argentina for a close encounter with amazing glaciers, this itinerary ends in El Chaltén, for an unparalleled trekking and outdoors experience… a comprehensive and truly unparalleled Patagonian adventure.
El Calafate The gateway city to the eye-watering Parque Nacional Los Glaciares is tucked in one of the most incredible clefts in the Andes of western Argentina. Travelers come to this part of southern Patagonia to catch a glimpse of one thing: Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the must-see attractions in Argentine Patagonia. The enormous tongue of moving ice can be seen calving bergs into the shimmering glacier lake that forms right in front of it. Of course, there are other draws and sights to El Calafate: trekking in Los Glaciares National Park, 4×4 excursions, horseback riding, kayaking and helicopter overflights, all curated to travelers’ needs, interests and tastes.
El Chaltén The so-called “Argentine National Capital of Trekking”, El Chaltén, sitting at the foot of the great Fitz Roy massif, attracts many travelers and trekkers seeking for their Patagonian adventure. Look west and you’ll see the toothed tops of what some consider to be the most incredible part of the Andes, rising 3,405 meters above sea level. There are trails galore, from the 19-km romp to “Laguna Torre”, to the soaring panoramic “Pliegue Tumbado” walk, allowing for anyone to find a hike in Argentine Patagonia to suit their specific abilities. Back in El Chaltén town center, there’s a real frontier vibe, with swinging-door and timber taverns selling hearty Argentine steaks and stews.
Additionally, on this route, accommodation is just unmatched, combining luxury and coziness with the closest experience of truly wild wilderness.
Explora Torres del Paine Explora, the original luxury lodge in Patagonia, is nestled in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park and enjoys incredible views of the entire Paine Massif (particularly striking at sunrise and sunset!). Its location means access to key areas in the park couldn’t be easier. The lodge offers unique facilities: a private catamaran to take you directly to the French Valley trailhead and towards Grey Glacier, its own stables and specially-bred horses, and hot tubs lining the shore of Lake Pehoé. Its excursions are expansive and varied and its guides are fantastic and very well-trained.
OVO Patagonia – a Luxury Capsule Experience OVO Patagonia is an exciting experience that offers adventurers a unique opportunity to spend the night overlooking the majestic Mount Fitz Roy in Argentine Patagonia.

OVO Patagonia is designed as a refuge from the wind and rain, offering a comfortable and safe experience in the context of Patagonian weather. Each of the four OVO capsules has 360° panoramic views and three levels: a bed on the upper level, a minimalist lounge and a dry toilet on the middle level, and a hammock-style netting for the ultimate height experience on the bottom level.
Explora El Chaltén In a land claimed by rare huemul deer, guanaco camelids, big and elusive mountain cats, birds of soaring proportions, and other creatures who navigate the jagged mountains, vertiginous lookouts, pampa fields, and encroaching ice sheets, this lodge feels like a welcoming refuge, gathering the returning bold and brave around fire-cooked meals and plum Malbecs, and letting you hear the call of the wild in comfort. Rooms have a simple Scandinavian feel to them, lined in blonde wood, with modern furnishings and a few homey touches: rugs, throws, robes and slippers. The views, through large picture windows, are a panorama of uncontained color and wonders that will capture and hold your attention. And to top the experience, the lodge also features a spa with saunas and jacuzzis, and a cozy lounge.
