Earlier this month I traveled to Patagonia with some dear friends. We had several leisurely days touring and photographing Torres del Paine. Unfortunately, the puma had left the area we were in, but no matter. The mountain scenery more than made up for not seeing the cats. There were herds of guanacos camouflaged in the grassland steppe, as well as foxes, and the Andean condors were out in full force. Their size is remarkable, they absolutely dwarf the flocks of crested caracaras.
Moving on to Argentina, autumn color was on full swing in Los Glaciares National Park. One morning at the crack of dawn we hiked in two miles to see Perito Moreno glacier. Once a stable glacier, it has entered a phase of rapid retreat and thinning. Back in 2013 I photographed the glacier (with much less success due to the sun low on the horizon) from nearly the same spot. The trip was capped off by visiting the traditional neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and tango lessons—not really, but it is everywhere!

We’ve experienced three very different photo journeys already this year.
It started off with a terrific safari in Tanzania’s Serengeti, where we were lucky to be in a less-visited area of the park. It was lush and green and full of wildlife. In February, we returned to Japan to see the playful snow monkeys, then headed north to Hokkaido, one of my favorite places on the planet. And last, in March, we led a workshop in Morocco, a stunning country of rugged mountains, undulating Saharan dunes, and colorful cities.
I recorded a podcast with fellow photographer Mitch Stringer about Morocco. Have a listen here!
There are photo workshops, and then there are truly once-in-a-lifetime adventures. Next April, Art Wolfe invites one final traveler to join an extraordinary photographic journey beyond Earth itself: a luxury expedition to the Moon.
Designed in the spirit of our signature tours, this remarkable experience combines expert instruction, breathtaking landscapes, and the rare chance to photograph some of the most iconic terrain in the solar system. From the stark beauty of the Sea of Tranquility to the dramatic rim views of ancient lunar craters, each stop has been crafted for photographers who want to capture something few have ever seen firsthand.
Cmdr. Karl Voss will guide participants through the process of preparing for their journey to the moon.
The journey is led by a seasoned astronaut guide and supported by a noted lunar tourism expert, offering a thoughtful blend of exploration, education, and creative inspiration.
