Dientes De Navarino Trek Reviews

Highlights: Wilderness of Isla de Navarino, and climbing surprisingly interesting and spectacular peaks from El Chaltén. Birdlife was prolific and spectacular. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Almost everything was surprising. Not to have time in the wilder off-trail parts of the Paine region was disappointing.

Penguins are always going to be memorable. All the boat and ship captains on our trip were highly skilled seamen. However, our top memories will be tied to our abbreviated Dientes Trek, with Days 3 and 4 being the most impactful. Day 4 where we went down Valle Bronces to the end of the trek (instead of Virginia Pass for one more night of camping) taught us a lot about ourselves and our excellent guides. It pushed and tested us mentally and physically. When we reached the end and realized everyone had emerged mostly unscathed was the biggest victory of our entire trip.

The first two days of the back of the loop and the crossing of the Gap. The fun of the kayaking near the Grey Glacier

The second day of the dientes was my favorite, landscapes were magificient. Chino, the guide and Raul and Jaime the porters were fantastic. I was surprised how good the food was on the trek.

The little plants at high altitude.
