Tell us about Torres del Paine
Torres Del Paine lived up to our expectations and more. The trek was challenging, but we did not feel rushed. The food and accommodations were great. We had a nice family of four that were part of our group and we got along very well. We met several trekkers along the route who were great and made the journey enjoyable.
Tell us about the Trekking
We had a great guide in Lalo. He was very patient with us and stayed with the slowest trekker in the group. Every morning he brewed coffee for us and carried peanut butter and pesto sauce to make our sandwiches a little more tasty. He was very knowledgeable about the country and the region.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
While we had great weather along the way, prepare for the worst, but do not overpack as it will weigh you down. If you are a bit older, carry trekking poles.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
Yes, i have a greater appreciation for our planet, the delicate balance between progress and a need to maintain our natural resources, and most important, Global warming and the receding glaciers makes it feel real.
How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?
I was very prepared, but there were certain things that we did not carry since we did not want to check in our luggage, such as poles, knives etc. We were able to rent poles and our guide carried other objects that we needed for the trek.
