All was memorable and everything worked out perfectly. Two nights in Santiago Holiday Inn was smart so we could nap after arriving at 7:20 am. Got to San Cristobal Hill funicular- great views. Nice dinner about half mile from hill base. Explora hotel was marvelous with great hikes and estansia. Cape Horn cruise was especially nice and relaxing after all the hiking we did in Torres del Paine. Zodiac rides to glaciers, etc ere fun. Ushuaia was an interesting little town. Took a van and boat ride from the Tourist info Center to see penguins but had a surprise and also got to see whales and porpoises. Took a morning van ride to Terra del Fuego to see highlights. Again, after all the hikes in Torres del Paine, we didn't need more hikes here. Honestly, after Torres del Paine, Tierra del Fuego was not all that impressive. Maritime museum was very good. Next morning walked along the Ushuaia ocean front, then started our trip home through EZE.

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.

Too many highlights. The landscapes are extraordinary. The Chilean were very welcoming, and all the other travelers I met along the way were super friendly. There were a few magical moments, riding into a rainbow, or experiencing a storm in Cape horn, or watching the pinguins.

All day on the day we went to Pia glacier. We had penguins, seals, sea lions, a dolphin and whales go by the boat at different times that day. We saw the glacier break off twice and then glacier ally with all the waterfalls was beautiful. Loved the different music, food and drinks while we went past the glaciers. The whole day was breathtaking.

Kayaking Serono River was amazing. I've never been so close to a glacier while on the water. Saw so many animals -- rhea, puma, penguins.... I liked that fellow travelers had selected Patagonia as a destination -- no one was just 'passing through'.

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.

Excursions were interesting but honestly left quite a bit to be desired for the active traveler. However, the people we met and the experience onboard was unparalleled and totally made up for it. I was blown away at the thoughtfullness that went into the experience and the level of service and consideration towards the guest. I greatly appreciated the historic/informative talks and movies, and the onship library was a treat.
