In Torres del Paine, it is a toss up between the first day with Joaquin & the driver (who was super but I don’t remember his name) and our last hike with Matthias. Bothe experiences were fantastic. The guides were excellent. It was mind-blowing.

Walking into our room at AWA hotel in Puerto Varas and seeing the Osorno volcano against the clear blue sky in al its glory in the floor to ceiling window. Cruze Andino.

The highlight was the Huemul circuit. It was an amazing trek. There was so much adventure and strenuous hiking but the scenery was spectacular. The highlights definitely included the ice-fields and also seeing the very different terrain as we circled around the Huemul mountain. There was a condor sighting on day 3 and the walk over the glacier on day 2 was just beyond words. I loved the fact that on day 3, we had to hike down really steep terrain and got to camp next to the glacier ice fields. Definitely the most magical moment was the birthday brownie that we got to share for my 40th birthday that was made so nicely by the Walk Patagonia staff.

Hiking through areas of Torres.

I love my guide Felipe. He was such a joy to trek with. You could see and feel the love that he has for Torres Del Paine. I enjoyed the stories he shared bringing everything to life. You know that someone loves what they do when on their off days, they come back to do some trekking on their own. I couldn't have asked for a better guide.

This is a very difficult question to answer because they were all memorable in their own unique way. Having said this, the moment I saw the Towers when we first entered the park.

"memorable" seems like it's a positive thing. The thing I will remember most, however, is not positive. It was the racist and out-of-date, poverty porn masqueraded as an "education" talk about the Indigenous peoples of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. The fact that you all have been on this cruise and seen this talk in all it's complete racism, and you haven't said anything, you haven't tried to help them change it, is abhorrent. I was traumatized. I'm Indigenous, if that had been about my ancestors I would be enraged. Unfortunately, the genocide that occurred means that there are no ancestors to be enraged. So I cried. and I still can't get over it.

Patagonia Camp and hiking the base of the TOWERS!!

Highlights: - Magellanie penguines at Isla Magdalena -2 day trip - Whales watching was amazing!! We love it a lot! We missed watching King pinguines! That will be nice if make this offer to other travellers! - We were impressed a lot by Eco Camp!! The nature of Torres del Paine like a miracle!! We’ ve seen 7 pumas during our stay! Argentinian part of Patagonia was not so impressine like Chilian part: less amimals, less impressive nature dfrom our point of view. We were lucky with the weather and skies were clear and there was a sunshine! Better to spend more time at Chilian side! But - Periti Moreto- is a must to see and visit!! On my return to Moscow I shared most of the photos in Instagram and Facebook, some of my friend were really imtersted. I passed your contact details to them. They are from Ukraine from Kiev. Local people are very frendly.

The Australis cruise was fantastic

The highlight of the trip was the wildlife. Just being in their land knowing that you are just visiting is an experience beyond words.

Our whole trip was wonderful, but we especially enjoyed riding to the outposts from Estancia Nibepo Aike. We felt like gauchos staying in the rustic outposts with Sophia making us feel at home. We had a slight change of plans due to weather but it was all good.

Surreal feeling to watch up to 100 King Penguins in the Pinguino Rey Natural reserve! Watching Puma and Guanacos in their natural habitat in Torres del Paine National Park

The synergy and camaraderie within the group due to the extraordinary team leaders Paola and Cris. They are real difference makers. We could all hike. but they made the hike meaningful in the EcoCamp and beyond.

The base of the Towers hike was fantastic and waking up the first morning to see the sunrise at hotel Las Torres was memorable.

Watching King Penguins was nothing like seeing them in a zoo. In the wild they were so animated! Their mannerisms, feeding behavior, and vocalizations were not only fascinating but also very charming. Since leaving the park we have watched the videos we took over and over and they make us laugh each time. It has been fun to share the videos and what we learned with friends and family.

Highlight: thermal therapy in glacier los perros!! And Xmas eve - beach party with the lodge staff! And how awesome my group was (literally couldn’t have been better - made lifelong friends) Landscape was fabulous, so varied and spectacular. Not much wildlife. Our group was awesome - all young, fit, full of energy and life! Will tell my grandchildren about all of it! Surprised by how good the food was - especially dinner.

Highlights include that each day was a totally different visual delight. Having done a fair amount of hiking - you can drink all of the water and it is icy! What I tell everyone is "You need to do this hike. Eight days of being off the grid and fabulous scenery. " Additional highlight for those of who have humped our stuff - the food is great and plentiful"

My group had a fantastic time even though our weather was less than ideal and un-Patagonian (according to our guides). We had no wind at all, and soaking rain for almost two days. That said, the glacial lakes are amazing, the snow covered peaks are awesome, and the magnificence of the environment is remarkable.

Hiking the very first day to Serrano camp
