Self-Drive Argentinian Lake District Reviews

There's not just one memorable moment. Every part of our journey had wonderful and unexpected experiences. I usually don't care much for big cities but I found Buenos Aires to be a beautiful and interesting city. The Lake District was as beautiful as I expected. Hiking around El Chalten was easy because most of the hikes start right there in town. The cruise around the Magellan Straight was relaxing after several days of intense activity with car rentals and several flights inside Argentina and lots of hiking; we were able to disembark in Cape Horn which was fabulous. Torres del Paine was the best part of the trip!

Meeting and interacting with the Chilean people. Experiencing the wildness of the country. Reveling in the vast unspoiled back country. And so much more.

The story I tell first is the unsuccessful attempt to climb Laguna de los Torres because of the sideways wind, rain and cold. Just to take off my raincoat to add a down jacket was quite an experience.

The excursions in Torres del Paine. Stunning scenery and landscapes. The Tierra Patagonia Hotel was spectacular.
