"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 It was the racist and out-of-date, poverty porn masqueraded as an "education" talk about the Indigenous peoples of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.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.

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 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

Reaching the lake viewpoint of the Torres Del Paine peaks and having perfect, blue sky views in winter. A wonderful moment to share with my partner, the other clients, and our amazing guide, Vito!

Riding horses through the whole national park & galloping through herds of guanacos.

Magical. Everyone was friendly. Wish we'd visited more of it. We saw pumas.

Many highlights, but possibly the strange highlight of being woken in the French campsite by thunderous roars from the glacier in the French Valley before trekking to the viewpoint to watch the ice falling. Landscapes spectacular, birds and flowers lovely. People friendly (especially away from the crowded trek on day 1) I’ll tell family and friends that it’s a trek worth doing. Most magical moment... getting to the viewpoint on day 1.

The highlight of our trip was our guide, Jose "Chacho" Navarro Jorquera, a contractor to Antares Patagonia--he surpassed our expectations in every way--he facilitated our entrance into Torres del Paine, he made sure we were comfortable, gave us an overview of what to expect on our hikes each day, went out of his way to find new birds for us to watch, and was friendly and polite to everyone on the trail. The surprise, if you can call it that, was that we had several days of absolutely jaw-droppingly good, clear weather with fabulous views of the mountains, including the Torres and Los Cuernos.

The ice hiking stands out the most, I wish I knew I would enjoy it so much I would have done the Big Ice Hike instead of the mini-trek. I enjoyed the Chilean side of Patagonia more than the Argentina side.

Reaching the viewpoint at the top of the Lago Cerro Castillo hike.

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.
