There are of course more than one memorable moment. Chalten Camp, and the wind, stormy exciting weather, beautiful hiking, even so. Excellent guides and experiences here. Loved the remoteness, quiet, and feeling we were on our own adventure/ Staff at Chalten Camp were so calm and accommodating without overwhelming. The Fitzroy coming out of the clouds for a spectacular sunset/ Every experience brought us a wealth of memories.

Hiking thru Patagonia area with mesmerizing nature. Especially when we were at cliff and can see glaciers .

Hiking the French Valley

How can I answer this? The glaciers of Patagonia, Eco camp as a base for fantastic food, adventures and friends, the Ventus Australis for sophisticated exploration and great information ( as well as making new contacts), Puerta Varas for adventures and the best guides on the planet plus so much more.

Watching two pumas feed on a recently killed guanaco.

Seeing the Torres del Paine for the first time.

Everything. From start to finish, everything was so well organized and easy, it allowed us to fully appreciate the trekking experience and the absolutely AMAZING beauty of Torres del Paine.

This is so hard to choose! I think our guides were the most memorable part of the trip.

Realizing the vastness of completely undisturbed land literally for as far as the eye can see. No phone lines, electrical lines, or infrastructure of humanity visible anywhere. Stunning, the earth as it once was before humans maimed it.

Hiking in the Zapata Valley with no humans for miles, hearing the feral cows, stumbling upon fossils and hearing the thunderous glacier drops - we were literally in the middle of nowhere. After our self-guided hike on the W Trail switching gears to a guided hike in Zapata Valley was incredible. The nearly untouched wilderness engulfed our hearts and we will never forget our time there.

Hiking in Torres del Paine National Park

Overall, Not only I could see a lot of great landscapes but also, I enjoyed sharing time with other members of group tour coming from variety of countries and having nice local foods like ram and nice local wines. Staying in Refugio was the most impressive things for me. There I could totally keep myself out of my works, e-mail and smart phone etc. And by guides and other group members I could complete over 100km hiking for sure.

Torres del Paine views and hiking and penguins in Magdalena Island

So many. Torres del Paine was great. A great days wilderness fly fishing out of El Calefate. Horse riding in Pucon. An excellent seafood restaurant in Ushuaia. A great solo trek to the moraine lake with a guide. Many many more.

When Rene and Danni safely lead us to Base of the Towers and back! Their guiding leadership skills were exceptional. They take great care and pride in their responsibilities. I'm 71 and Danni is 28. The pride we felt in reaching the summit, was shared equally with Rene and my cousin Jamie. They both shared the conditions were the worse they had climbed it. My mantra was: She Believed She Could , So She Did! Slow and Steady! I wouldn't win the race, but I would Finish! ??❤️?‍? Thank you for these adventures and accomplishments!? Kit Harvey

A tie between reaching the top of the Britanico hike and enjoying a beer and the sun at the Central campsite.

Standing by the glittering turquoise lake Azul and torrent Salto Grande waterfalls, in the distance the snow-capped peaks - one of the most dramatically beautiful landscapes in the world. I have fallen in love with this wild and barren land of unique natural beauty: I stand facing this magnificent scene grateful for every breath I take. The rough and lonely countryside around the Nordenskiöld lake, free of any of the troubles of this world. To emerge yourself here is to forget anything unkind

Trip was excellent - loved the people, the landscapes, the clean air and water!, and the remote aspect of Patagonia. We would spend more time in Santiago - do a winery tour for a day. The highlight was Torres del Paine, the W Trek and the Eco Camp.

We had a very lovely guide from Antares, Phillipe, who did a great job showing us around. My sons were particularly impressed by seeing the puma having her morning breakfast. The landscapes were impressive, and I enjoyed seeing the wildlife. The Pampa Lodge was particularly nice. I really enjoyed the quiet and the view from the lodge itself. Everyone we interacted with was very nice and friendly. The only confusion was in arrival from El Calafate. Apparently, the Always Glaciers company does not have the right to go in to the bus terminal, and we arrived a bit later than Antares was anticipating. In the end it was fine, and I have no hard feelings with Antares for that. It was a simple mix-up and they did offer an additional dinner as compensation for the confusion. We did really enjoy our itinerary with them -- I'll say it again... puma!

Overall a magnificent trip. A wide variety of experiences, both urban and rural, varying landscapes and activities. Chile and Argentina fishing lodges were both wonderful. They were different but would recommend each of them. The owners and staff of each lodge were amazing, as was the food and level of attentiveness and service - we felt like well treated family members at each. We also met some other travelers that we enjoyed spending time with in the evenings and at meals. The fishing in Chile was more difficult than in Argentina but the water in Chile was unbelievably beautiful - an amazing shade of blue. Flying by helicopter over the Chilean Rivers was one of the magical parts of the trip. We were in Santiago and Buenos Aires for a day each and were glad we stayed a night on the way in and out of South America. The boutique hotels were both lovely and we were happy to be in smaller properties.
