SUMMER 2026 ༠ 31 PHOTO: COURTESY ESTANCIA NIBEPO AIKE (HORSES) HORSEBACK THROUGH PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA Saddle up at a traditional Argentinian estancia to explore the rugged beauty of Patagonia from the back of a Criollo horse. The landscape of pampas grasslands, water bodies, and distant snow-capped peaks unfurls at a measured pace. Watch guanacos moving across the plains and perhaps a condor soaring overhead. After exploring hidden glacial valleys and blue lakes, return to the estancia for an authentic asado (barbecue) and the company of friendly gauchos. ♥ hayesandjarvis.co.uk/argentina YELLOW WATER BILLABONG CRUISE, KAKADU, AUSTRALIA Looking out from the boat at Yellow Water Billabong in Kakadu National Park, the scenery feels like a watercolour painting. Paperbark and pandanus trees rise directly from the wetlands, shaped by seasonal flooding. As the boat moves through the channels, guides point out saltwater crocodiles along the banks, herds of buffalo in the shallows, and an extraordinary diversity of birdlife. The pace is unhurried, almost meditative. ♥ hayesandjarvis.co.uk/australia
