Penguins are always going to be memorable. All the boat and ship captains on our trip were highly skilled seamen. However, our top memories will be tied to our abbreviated Dientes Trek, with Days 3 and 4 being the most impactful. Day 4 where we went down Valle Bronces to the end of the trek (instead of Virginia Pass for one more night of camping) taught us a lot about ourselves and our excellent guides. It pushed and tested us mentally and physically. When we reached the end and realized everyone had emerged mostly unscathed was the biggest victory of our entire trip.

Our guides on both sides: When our guide Max showed us how to properly drink mate; when Lucille encouraged Judith to walk arm & arm during 50 mile an hour gusts and when Tomas walked patiently with us on the last few hours of the hike and last, Julian working to help the fast and slower group stay happy.

Really special to visit the Torres del Paine by bike. Dittmar Adventure travels was great. I felt very well cared for and found the experience very much worth the expense. Fenomenal wildlife viewing, and the guides were very informative and happy to allow me to indulge in photography and other interests. I've told tons of people about it, shared photos, etc. No major surprises, aside from the fact that I wasn't expecting the food to be that good.

We deeply enjoyed the trip and the landscape. We felt the trip gave us a good overall impression of the region. Having done most of the standard hikes we'd only come back to do some of the longer, crazier things (like 7 days on the ice field).

The trip was great. I wouldn't visit again because we had such amazing weather I don't think it would ever be better or happen again. We had three days of sun and no wind. The highlight was seeing Los Cuernos and the Blue Towers. I loved hiking through the different terrain and drinking the glacier water. If the weather wasn't so perfect I'm not sure I would've enjoyed it as much as the hikes were long.

The scenery was amazing. The hikes were nice and the guides provided insight to the fauna and flora of the area. Walking with the penguins were a real treat. Visiting the colony of Magellanic penguins was definitely a highlight of the cruise. Traveling in the Strait of Magellan was a surreal moment. We had a great group at our table. Meal service was incredible, as was the bar service.

Crossing the John Gardner Pass was the most memorable moment for me! We'd had a rainy morning and we actually had a pretty gorgeous snowstorm as we were crossing over the top. I always felt safe with our guide Emilio, but I could barely lift my eyes. I was just following the footsteps right in front of me. Once we passed the tallest part of the trek, we started walking back down, and what lay in front of us was one of the most stunning sights I'd ever seen - a HUGE glacier! That was the most memorable day because it was an intense experience and the visuals still stick in my mind.

My most memorable moment was arriving at the Towers at 83 years old and twenty years after my quadruple bypass heart operation. I had been climbing for six hours by myself with a gash in my hand that required four stitches, a sprained wrist, and cuts on my nose and lip from a fall at camp.
