Something Else?
I thought the campsites, food, showers etc was excellent. I thought at Lago Grey the hot food should have been a lot warmer. For a major hub it's not quite where it should be. The Kayaking from Grey was very well organised, safe and great fun. I found all the people working in Argentina and Chile very helpful, fun and great company.
Tell us about Los Glaciares
El Chalten was a fantastic place to stay in, eat in and walk from. l loved it. It felt like a frontier town you see on an American western film. It was a wonderful place to meet like-minded people.
Tell us about EcoCamp
Yes in every respect. The food was an extra special and surprising treat at the end of the O-Circuit. Alberto and Chris were great guides who looked after us very well advising us on everything from what to wear, and what to eat etc.

Tell us about Buenos Aires
As mentioned earlier.
Tell us about the Trekking
Pedro Fina ? who took us to Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torre was an excellent guide, informative and very helpful. The O-Circuit was fantastic. It was great walking with friendly, like-minded people, in breathtaking surroundings with great weather, guides and porters.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
Do a lot of research on what you want to do. Know your hiking limits. Unless you hope to go back one day explore a few areas well.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
Be open-minded about countries, the people and the culture until you have been.
How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?
Very well prepared. Nervous and anxious, but excited, as i was travelling on my own and i had never done anything like this in my life. But i knew it was the right thing to do and it was. Swoop, but particularly Cary's gave me a lot of confidence.
