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.

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"

Full Paine excursion with Joaquin and Alejandro -- stunning scenery, terrific background info from Joaquin about the park, its history, geology, wildlife, etc., and lovely, end-of-day surprise snacks and drinks with both guides.

Hard to describe one moment. Certainly, paddling out to the glacier with the guide, but also going through the "shortcuts" to avoid the wind were so peaceful and an opportunity to view wildlife.

Each hike, or kayak, or horseback ride gave us the chance to experience a beauty unlike any I have ever seen.

Definitely, the capable, superior and quality guides. Virginia at El Chalten and Jose and Michele at Tierra Patagonia provided outstanding treks! In our opinion, they are the gold standard.

Its hard to pick out one thing, but I would have to say watching the sun rise over the towers was amazing a long crazy hike but there was a full moon made it even better.

There were many memorable moments but probably the most memorable was the first day's hike to Laguna de los Tres - just geeting there gave us a great sense of accomplishment, the views were marvelous, and our guide was excellent.

Highlight was summiting on day 5 and seeing the glaciers. The landscapes were incredible, and we finally saw guanacos on the last day. The people were very friendly and welcoming of trekkers, and I appreciated their hospitality. I would tell my friends that they need to put this on their bucket list.

Almost too many to choose from...but the first time I viewed the Torres del Paine from Explora lodge in person I felt like my dreams had been answered. Absolutely breathtaking and I must have taken 100 photos of the same peaks in all kinds of weather and light.

My trip was amazing. The weather was exceptionally good with rain only 1 day. The mountains and granite peaks are unlike any other mountain region I have seen. There were some long days of hiking, but always balanced with a following less demanding day! We saw wanaco, little foxes, woodpeckers and various other birds. I really was hoping to see a puma but that is quite rare. The group we had was great. Everyone had wit and humor that make the hike all the more enjoyable.

Achieving all 3 legs of the W Trek and the experience of what those treks contained is what I’ll never forget. The experience of doing those from the Hotel Rio Serrano was also a real highlight.
