OUR STAFF

PHILIPPE REUTERFOUNDER AND DIRECTOR OF AZIMUT 360

Our team works everyday to create inspiring personalized travel adventures. We encourage our clients to step o� the beaten track, to travel beyond the ordinary.

Our team endeavors to make Azimut 360 large enough to o�er professional service and support, but small enough to care for every passenger we carry.

Philippe Reuter, who arrived in Chile 30 years ago, made a profession from his childhood passion for mountaineering and outdoor activities.

Philippe, who is French by birth and Chilean by adoption, knows the Andes like the back of his hand. Ask him what his favorite playground is and he will surely answer that the mountains which he sees from his house in Patagonia. “… The Patagonia Icecap is one of the most awe-inspiring places on earth. Unlike many mountains in the world, this is a pristine and untouched land.”

In 1990, he founds AZIMUT 360, a name suggested by the panorama one sees from the summit of a mountain.

WHERE TO TRAVEL WITH US

PatagoniaChile - Argentina

Ester Island and Chiloe

AltiplanoChile - Bolivia - Argentina

Central AndesChile - Argentina

ALTIPLANO CHILE - BOLIVIA - ARGENTINA

This is a land of superlatives. It holds immense salt �ats, massive active volcanoes, gemmed-coloured lagoons and azure skies. It neighbours the Atacama desert, which is known as one of the driest areas in the world.

We invite you to travel this area and experience nature in a pristine, time-stopping way.

The Atacama Desert is a vast territory rich in archeological, natural and cultural �nds. From the snow capped summits to the Moon Valley, salt �ats, geysers �elds and oasis, this is a land of technicolor landscapes.

The South Lipez area of Bolivia is on the border of Chile and Argentina. From the blinding whiteness of uyuni salt �at- the largest in the world- to the color saturated palette of the highlands, passing by impressive snow capped volcanoes, this is a land of otherworldly beauty.

This is Argentina but not as you know it! Here, the landscape, high and rugged, is awe-inspiring and the Andean tradition runs deep beneath the colonial shine.
