Patagonia
The granite turns red for four hours in March.
If the light is not worth the flight, the week stays off the list. We walk every route ourselves before we ever put it in front of you.
What is left is short enough that we would leave for it tomorrow.

The short list
Open the book
Faroe Islands
A lake that appears to hang above the sea, and eighteen villages that agree not to mention it.
Erg Chigaga
Four days by camel to the last dune before the stone desert begins.
Atacama
The driest sky anyone has ever slept under, and the clearest.
Lofoten
Arctic light, red houses on stilts, and a fjord that never quite freezes.

Why we hold the week
For a few hours in March the towers hold the first light. The rest of the week exists so we can be there when it happens.

Before you write
Ask before you book.
If a week is wrong for you, that is the first thing we say.
Most departures fill six to nine months out, and the best windows go first — Patagonia in March, Lofoten in deep winter. Tell us early and we’ll hold a place while you decide.
