Having a fantastic time, during extreme weather and high winds at the Wetlands area with Safka. It was raining, and sleeting, with occasional breaks in the weather. We saw many birds, and a pair of foxes. I started weeping; it was so beautiful, and so inspiring! Safka , our guide, gave me a warm hug to console me. This was the same day that five people died on the O circuit.

Reaching the base of the towers after battling some rain, wind and cold on the climb up. Although overcast the towers were still visible and the view of the towers over the aqua lake was stunning. There were only a few other hikers there when we reached the base of the towers so we got to enjoy it in relative solitude.

There were so very many "most memorable moments": snow, double rainbows and rounding the bend to see the view at the base of the towers in Torres del Paine; experiencing the calving of Perito Moreno Glacier; enjoying the camaraderie of our new trekking mates on the trails and at camps; bracing for the wind gusts at Cape Horn; and every sunrise and sunset we were awake to see.

The highlight was seeing the towers up close when we made it to the top of that hike. The French valley was an easy runner up. The landscape was stunning. We did not meet too many people as it was winter but the people we met both working within the park and the other hikers were great. I might take my grandchildren there as words would never do Patagonia justice. No surprises, we were well prepared and were ready for the trip.

There were so many! The views were so amazing they almost looked fake. But meeting a group of people of all ages from all over the world that had our same itinerary was one of the highlights. Each night we would recall our hikes and get to know each other.

The "W" (your part of our trip to Patagonia) exceeded our expectations. We were prepared for, as you must be, autumn Patagonia rain and were delightfully surprised by shorts and t-shirt weather. The guides were terrific, the other hikers a real joy to be around, and the refugios quite comfortable. Food was both healthy and plentiful. We hike around big rock piles all the time (Bend, OR), so the reason we take these trips is to have new experiences and meet other people. Everyone could not have been any nicer or (for the most part) polite. The only advice we might add is: take your time, don't allow yourself to get sucked into a "got-to-get-there-now" attitude. Amble, turn around once in a while, then amble some more: the view is everywhere. Food, showers and conversation come soon enough; most of the magic happens on the trail.
