    Tour Perito Monero Glacier, Torres del Paine & El Chalten Explore Argentina and Chile’s most iconic destinations on this Patagonia 9-day adventure.

We are committed to creating one-of-a-kind experiences for each type of traveler. That’s why our trips are 100% tailor-made! That means that A) You can choose the exact travel experience you’ve always dreamed of, and B) Our services (excursions and transfers) can be private or semi-private, or a mix of both! If you’d prefer to have a car and a tour guide at your disposal, we can make it happen, and if you don’t care about sharing your transportation and/or your tour, we can put together some experiences where you’ll be able to meet other travelers from around the world. Keep in mind that even our semi-private tours are an intimate group size, so you’ll never be lost in a sea of other tourists.

View Profile

In 1999, based on the passion for exploring our region, Say Hueque Journeys was born! We are a travel company based in Argentina that creates experience-driven trips in Argentina & Chile focused on connecting travelers with nature and local culture.

We are explorers – We are passionate – We are nature enthusiasts. We know how to visit the Perito Moreno Glacier to avoid crowds, when to trek in Torres del Paine for an intimate experience with the Patagonian mountains and what time of day to visit Iguazú Falls to enjoy the best day-light and a personal encounter with this wonder of nature.

Say Hueque is part of the B Corporation movement. This means that it belongs to a community dedicated to using business as a force for good. We plant with purpose: we have committed to planting 100,000 native trees in Patagonia, creating a true forest! We operate plastic-free journeys, support the initiative of local operators and accommodations, and maintain sustainable practices in our workspaces.
