\u00a0\"IMG_6329\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What did you think of Patagonia?<\/b><\/p>\n

Patagonia region is a unique place in this world. I never thought such beauty could exist on this planet.\u00a0 Actually, the only way I could describe it to my family and friends, is for me to ask them\u00a0to imagine a space ship dropping you on another planet in this universe, where no civilization has ever touched the ground.\u00a0 Well this is Torres Del Paine!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6573\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How were our partners in Chile who ran your W Trek?<\/b><\/p>\n

They were an excellent operator; I applaud you on the selection.\u00a0 The guide was amazing, knowledgeable, professional, and at the same friendly and amusing.\u00a0 He was a great companion, very understanding of our physical limitations at certain times, yet challenged us to complete the entire tour with delight.\u00a0 Everything went perfect, the trekking itself, the lodging was excellent, food was good, and transportation was timely and comfortable.\u00a0 Can’t complain at all.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6593\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What was the highlight of your trip?<\/b><\/p>\n

The highlight of the trip was trekking the French Valley<\/a> and reaching the top, wow!\u00a0 I can still close my eyes and remember the 360′ view… I would recommend this trip for every person in this world; it’s a must-see must-do before leaving this earth!\u00a0 That’s exactly what I’ve been telling everyone.\u00a0 I’ve even promised my kids (who are 11 and 9) that I will take them there one day once they’re old enough to appreciate the beauty and charm of this magical place.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6572\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018I want to take this opportunity to thank you for fulfilling my dream.\u00a0 You made it happen…<\/i> Take care, and you can count on me knocking your doors when the time is right for me to venture once again.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n
