PATAGONIA ROAD is a small operator specialising in tours through Patagonia. We have known this fascinating part of our globe for many years and have indeed spent a part of our lives here.





We traverse those endless tracts of Patagonia either by four-wheel drive vehicles or minibus, always accompanied by an English or German speaking driver (who at the same time acts as guide, mechanic if needed, and above all as an incomparable connoisseurs of the country). Despite an organisational framework essential in this region, our aim is to remain as flexible as possible, so as to be able to accommodate the wishes of the participants. The tours offered on this website are intended as proposals, to enable you to propose your own ideas about a trip through Patagonia.
In general we try to keep daily travel times under four hours, and only rarely will it be necessary to have a whole day of travel only. In between there is always enough time to rest, to enjoy nature, to hike or ride on horseback, to visit special sites or to undertake other excursions.
We are dedicated to preserving the culture, environment and wilderness of these areas through low impact travel.





Diana Lochner:
Born in 1958 in Patagonia, I spent my childhood and youth partly in Argentina and partly in Germany. I began studying Business Administration in Munich, which I then continued it in Argentina and graduated with a degree in Marketing. Sports, however, always represented the most important activity to me, being a national ski and windsurf instructor in Europe and Argentina. In Punta del Este, an exclusive beach in Uruguay, I owned a successful windsurfing school for ten years. Then, along with my business partner from Hamburg, I founded a private language institute for teaching in multinational companies. During that time we offered Europeans language trips to Argentina and Chile and to interested parties from here, trips to England, USA and Germany. During those years I went on long trips throughout the Patagonia, getting to know the remotest of places, multiple hiking routes and tourist-appealing farms. Today, I live in Bariloche again, planning, organizing and guiding tours for small groups or individuals throughout Argentina and Chile. Given my deep knowledge of the country and its people, and on the basis of the experience I have gained, I can satisfy all of my clients' travel expectations, guaranteeing quality, warmth and professionalism.
