We had a wonderful time hiking, sightseeing, and eating in Patagonia. Our old bodies hiked like we were 30 years old. We especially loved hiking the W. It was so beautiful, with dramatic mountains of towers and glaciers, and hillsides in prime flower blooming season. We met lots of other travelers and shared stories, and ibuprofen for our sore muscles, at the dinner table. The biggest surprise for us was actually the relaxing bus trip from El Calafate to Puerto Natales. The buses are extremely comfortable and you get to view the vastness of Patagonia and spot a lot of guanacos and rheas along the way.

Hiking up to Loma del Pilegue Tumbado, we had a clear day and had a perfect view of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre!!! Hiking to Huemules Reserve and the Puesto Cagliero Hut was fun as well, with the crepe treat overlooking the glacier!!

Probably the highlight for me were two days spend on Cerro Guido and all day on horse in waste pampa. Nobody around just me and my guide and hundreds of sheeps. Nice landscape in Torres especially Lago de Grey and Azul. People in refugio and Eco camp very friendly.

There wasn't a "most memorable moment". It was an overall, ongoing fluid number of multiple moments. The trip was planned in such a way that we experienced the sheer vastness and beauty of nature for 7 days straight; landscape, animals, scenery, weather. The city visits (Valparaiso and Buenos Aires ) were guided in a way that we felt we understood all about each city's energy and culture. Having said all of the above, the providers at each piece of our trip were excellent! Above and beyond customer service was demonstrated in all avenues. My favorite place to be was Camp Patagonia! The food was 5 star.

On day 1 of the brush extension, Lucho took us back to his basecamp on the boat. We went for a cold plunge then when we made it to the camp, there was a beautiful charcuterie board waiting for us in addition to Lucho surprising us with a trout he caught that he cooked up and we got to enjoy with our dinner. Very memorable.

On the third day there was an option for extending the hike. Those of us who wanted to go to the next lookout split off and we had so much fun with our guide (Matti) trying to beat the clock and make it to the look out and back to the refugio for dinner time. We ended up having plenty of time and it was a fun day of bonding with the group and our guide, and of course taking in the great views!!

A lot of the scenery was stunning of course… while this isn’t a positive, I wasn’t able to see the towers—they were completely concealed by clouds—and that whole first day experience really sticks out in my memory. I had tried to switch the day of the hike but was told that was all they had available… had I been able to rearrange days of the excursions I probably would have gotten to see them. That hike was also dampened (not by the rain/snow which it did rain/snow the entire day, which I didn’t mind) by the other guests who were a group all in their 70s who really struggled with the hike/elevation gain (I’m 34). We had to stop about every 200 feet or so…. For me it was just an average/standard hike. I learned later that it’s not really required to be in a group/go on an excursion/have a guide. I had gotten that impression previously… I would probably approach a trip to Torres del Paine much differently based on the recent experience.

Seeing the towers. Getting settled in my yurt and making a gin and tonic. Fly fishing on 3 private estancia. Getting roadblock by several hundred recently sheared sheep. Eating best lamb shank ever at Singular Puerta Natales. Getting sick. 6.5 earthquake during final dinner on rooftop of Singular Santiago. Taking home street artwork from street vendors painting in Santiago. Thanks for making it possible, even with out messed up arrival flights. Also hearing street flautists playing late on the streets of Santiago. Our transfer guides were exceptional. Thanks. Greg
