There were many, but I will list 3: (1) Thanks to a recommendation by Swoop Patagonia, I signed up for a full day at Estancia La Peninsula. Our guide, Violeta was fantastic and very engaging. Very knowledgeable and skilled. Donald was busy as well as the captain of the boat, shepherd, sheep shearer, and lead guide for the horseback ride. The Patagonia sheep dogs (Barbucho) are so much fun to watch as they herd the sheep on Donald's command. The family and staff at Estancia La Peninsula, obviously love to what they do and are preserving the culture of estancia life in Patagonia. (2) Thanks to a recommendation by Swoop Patagonia, I signed up for the Southern Patagonia Glaciers Cruise (Kaweskar Route), on Skorpios III and everything about the cruise was outstanding!! The Captain and his staff were fantastic hosts. I especially appreciated the open bridge policy and I spent as much time outside on deck and on the Bridge as I could. The food was amazing, especially the Captain's dinner buffet. The fresh seafood was a delight. The views, of course were incredible. We transferred to a smaller vessel, the Capitán Constantino, which navigated through the ice for a closer look at the glacier and the crew served whiskey with ice plucked right out of the fjord! The two guides were great, and Luis gave several outstanding talks during the cruise. (3) My cruise out of Punta Arenas on Stella Australis, the Wildlife, Glaciers & Cape Horn Cruise, was outstanding. The weather cooperated and all excursions, including the landing at Cape Horn were successful. The Stella Australis staff was top-notch, and my waiter and the bar tenders were really nice and helpful. The expedition staff made the excursions fun and informative. The views, of course, were incredible.

How can a person select one when there were so many...I'd say top 5 include the trek on Perito Moreno Glacier, Kayaking La Leona / Hiking Los Hornos, Hiking to & Lunching at Cerro Torre, Hike to & View from Toro Lookout, & Huemul Glacier / Lago Desierto.

We loved our time in Patagonia and appreciated all the diverse experiences we had while there - hiking, kayaking, socializing with other international travelers. The landscape was stunning and our fellow hikers made for great traveling companions.
