March Reviews

The trip was unbelievable! No matter where you were, everywhere around you was breathtaking. Being on the water during the cruise was the most memorable portion. There were never ending waterfalls, the more you looked the more you saw! Each day we had at least one rainbow. We got to see the penguins, albatross, humpback whales, sea lions, and dolphins! The vegetation on all of the islands, areas and on Cape Horn was a huge surprise. The guides were so informative and reinforced each of the teachings over the course of the trip to make sure all of the guests learned as much as possible, and all of our questions were answered. Not only were we educated on the history but also present time varying from animals, flora, natives, and explorers. Absolutely loved the trip!

There wasn’t a single memorable moment, rather the combined hikes, comradeship with fellow travellers and guides combined to make the trek memorable.

Being on the beach with sea lions and elephant seals with the guides from Rincon Chico.

The magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier stood out as a singularly memorable moment. The Eco Camp stood out as an exceptional all encompassing experience.

I'll admit that I was a little skeptical at first when I booked the W glamping trek. Its the most I've ever spent on a packaged vacation type thing, and I wondered if it would really be worth it vs. trying to figure it out ourselves/self-support. It was totally worth it! Not only were the domes amazing, but the entire ecocamp team was spectacular. We didn't have to worry about anything, we ate delicious meals, and our guides were amazing! Plus, we met amazing people in our group - the camaraderie was something I didn't expect. We are already thinking about booking it again. Its hard to pick a specific moment, but the hikes and view were just out of this world.

Seeing the Glacier - it was an unbelievable sight. This was a hard choice because wherever we went we had so many memorable moments. Walking with the penguins and sea lions, the scenery in the lake district, the walking in El Chalten were all amazing

Hiking Torres de pines, riding horses with Guchoo on three ranches People very friendly Telling friends and family via Facebook with photos Would not probably return as there are other places in the world To go

The trip was great! We liked that we started on the Paine Grande end and got the hardest hike out of the way first. We were lucky to have great weather to enjoy the beautiful landscape, except for some winds and drizzle on our last day. We were surprised at how nice the refugios were and happily pleased with the food.

The Perito Moreno glacier was the most breathtaking and unusual, but loved all of the scenery in Patagonia. What a wonder. And loved Pat camp

Our trip was perfectly split into 3 segments: Australis cruise, Explora, and Barraco Lodge. Each allowed a completely different way to see and experience the beauty and wonder of Patagonia. We loved it!

Getting up to the Base of the Towers at Torres del Paine

Seeing the third largest glacial ice field in the world from above and then hiking with it all day!

French Valley - it's significantly beautiful, more so than Torres del Paine

There are multiple moments! This was the adventure of a life-time. Words can’t begin to describe just how incredible our 5 day trek in El Chalten was with the Serac team. Kayaking on the La Leorna river was also so much fun and a way to see Patagonia like no other! That was most epic trip ever!!!

Arriving at the Torres. Seeing that in person was so different than what one would imagine in photos. And, it felt like a personal accomplishment to have gotten there on such a challenging hike.

There were so many memorable moments! I'd say the most memorable was getting to the top of Garner Pass and looking down on Grey Glacier. So windy! Sun was out! Glacier was glowing! Jose was excited for us!

It is difficult to single out just one highlight as every day brought new things to marvel at. The magesty of the mountains, the awesome glaciers, the variety of birds, the characterful range of animals, the ever-changing vistas, the charm of the different cities and towns and the ever-present friendliness of the people we met en route. One of the many images that will stay with me is the magical sight of Andean Condors soaring above our heads on the thermals at Torres del Paine. Also the reflections of snow capped mountains in the glass smooth water at Rio Serrano, the towering wall of the Perito Moreno glacier as we sailed closer and closer and the comical antics of the Humboldt and Magellanic penguins on the Isolets de Punihuil off Chiloe. Even the torrential rain, complete with thunder and lightning, that we walked through at the Iguazzu Falls and which left us all soaked, literally, to the skin despite waterproofs was an experience to remember !

Hard to state as one wonderful event followed another. The Estancia Cerro Guido was spectacular. But, the beauty of the Patagonia Camp was without equal.

Successfully finishing a challenging hike through Cerro Castillo.

There are so many memorable moments that it is hard to choose. A funny one was when the kayak leader at Lago Desierto told us to put on the special waterproof outfit. I wasn't expecting that. The leader served us cookies and coffee when we took a break on land in the middle of the trip. Then there were snow flurries as we neared the end. It was a great experience!
