The Best Of Los Glaciares Reviews

The whole trip was memorable! There are so many moments it's so hard to pick one. Our trip began in the city of Buenos Aires and most memorable there was our dinner at Fogon Asado. Absolutely wonderful!! In El Chaltén, our most memorable hike was Laguna de Los Tres. Fantastic hike and we got lucky with the weather - clear and no wind! Our guide, Emi, was outstanding! But of course, we loved Huemul Glacier as well. We went early and had the unique opportunity to view the glacier in complete solitude. Breathtaking and peaceful! The ice trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier was also fantastic - and the opportunity to drink water from the glacier was mind blowing! Unbelievably refreshing! In Torres del Paine, our most memorable hike was the Base of the Towers. We couldn't do this trek the first couple of days due to weather, but finally able to do it on our last day in Patagonia Camp. For a couple of 60-somethings, this hike was challenging and we felt a huge sense of accomplishment afterwards. An added bonus was the puma sighting on our return trip to Patagonia Camp! Views were breathtaking and the glacier water refreshing to drink! Our guide, Bruno, was phenomenal. In Santiago, William-Cole winery tour was the best we'd ever had - and of course the tasting was excellent! Then there is Atacama - truly otherworldly and very different from Patagonia. There were hikes in which we felt like we were on Mars, but others with so much wildlife! Hot Springs, geysers, volcanos! Too many to choose as a memorable - all so different!

There were so many outstanding moments, it is impossible to select one! Some that stand out are - the sight of the entire Fitzroy and Cerro Torres ranges on a clear day, seen from the Mirador de los Condores, the Perito Moreno glacier, our first sight of the famous Los Cuernos, seeing some condors gliding past us at close range, on two occasions.

Oooh, impossible question. In general, experiencing the vast, spectacular, rugged landscape of Torres Del Paine--whether hiking, biking, horseback riding or mountain biking--with no other people in sight. The enormity of Perito Moreno Glacier. The remoteness and beauty of the Estancia stays. Seeing the wildlife of Peninsula Valdes, again, with no other humans in sight.

Completing the W hike. The W hike was not only a test of the body (and believe you me, this pushed my city-style body beyond what I thought I was capable of), but also of the mind. I attribute my constant smile not only to the overwhelmingly beautiful mountains and scenery, but also to the group of people we (my husband and I) were so fortunate to have met.

Hard to pick out one moment. Maybe going up to Lago Del Desierto. I thought I would not be able to get up there when I saw the ropes, but they actually helped a lot. I was blown away by the beauty of the site. Also, the glacier! I'd not read up on it prior to the trip. I just knew it was a large group excursion. I was kicking myself once we arrived and the saw the grandeur and awesome beauty of the glacier. The scale of the thing is so very humbling. Also most important to me was the opportunity to share the awesome experience with loved ones.

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.

W trek was spectacular, all the locations were wonderful. Felipe and Hector (guides on W Trek) were standouts. Trip was exceptionally well planned and executed by the Swoop team and partners. Communication was excellent and we were impressed.

Everything was amazing! The Estancia was such a special experience that was so unique. It felt like we were on the edge of the world in the most beautiful place on earth. We also loved the big hike in El Chalten!

El Chaltén was incredible. The domes were great, albeit cold.

Amazing trip overall, some really long hikes that I probably should have trained for more, and amazing people along the way.

Amazing! It's a land of immense beauty, I've seen nothing like this. We saw Fitz Roy in the best weather possible and it takes your breath away. Grueling hike to the base of the towers in Torres del Paine brings a magical moment of first seeing them in the clearing in the clouds and staying in full view.

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.

Seeing a glacier and glacial lake for the first time.

Satnding at the Pietro Moreno glacier and seeing a big piece slide into the lake. The sights and sounds of our livig world. But so many moments, Fitz Roy, Estancia Nebepo Aike for New Years Eve!!!

Hiking up to Loma del Pilegue Tumbado, we had a clear day and had a perfect view of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre!!! Hiking to Huemules Reserve and the Puesto Cagliero Hut was fun as well, with the crepe treat overlooking the glacier!!

Hiking to Lagos De los Tres to see Mount Fitz Roy. It was an incredibly beautiful and clear day. Also, Perito Moreno Glacier was quite memorable.

There were many amazing moments of the trip, but the Perito Moreno glacier was remarkable. I have never seen anything like it. The hike up to Laguna de los Tres was also wonderful.

Hard to choose: Hiking to FitzRoy and Towers Base plus ice trekking

Hike to Lago de los Tres on a spectacularly beautiful day!

The whole thing!
