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.

Because local knows best. We have personally visited each destination throughout the region and we have provided excellent, best-priced holidays to thousands of happy travelers worldwide.

To us, planning the perfect trip is as important as enjoying the perfect trip. That said, we will ensure that you have one of our travel specialists working with you throughout the trip planning process.
