The sheer beauty, , enchantment and strength of the natural world of Patagonia was unexpected and spectacular. From the different colored lakes to the calving of the glaciers, all was extraordinary but none was more memorable than the other.

There are too many to count. The second I saw the park it was so amazingly beautiful. And as I walked through the park, I liked seeing how the landscape changed. The ice hike was an incredible experience.

The highlight of the trip was day two. A moderate hike next to the most beautifully blue lake I have ever seen. I have been all over the world and Patagonia is by far the most beautiful. A group of nine strangers quickly became lifetime friends. Amazing humans plus amazing landscapes makes for an unforgettable trip. Camillo and Josefa (Pepa) were the best guides anyone could ask for. Extremely friendly, knowledgable and informative. I learned that a fifth season exists, it's a combination of all the other seasons at their very peaks, it's called Patagonia. And it's an experience of a lifetime.

This was the trip of a lifetime. We were amazed by the beauty and magnificence of the glaciers and the mountains. The wildlife we saw was incredible, giant woodpeckers, huemuls, caracaras, condors, guanacos, and rheas. We were fortunate to be part of a very interesting and fun group. We all got along beautifully and intend to continue to stay in touch. We hiked in sun, rain, snow and strong winds at times that made the trip magical. Our guide was engaged, caring, knowledgeable, funny and took great care of all of us.

My most memorable moments are the glacier calving. It was fantastic and awe inspiring to witness. The sound created during this event is almost unbelievable.

Reaching peak of Torres Del Paine. Battling 100kmph winds. Sense of achievement upon completion.

The hike in the Huemules Reserve to Puesto Cagliero, and especially the path between Lagos Verde and Azul, was a spectacular experience that we all enjoyed. Beautiful weather and scenery, a good pace and difficulty level, and the added treat of a cozy "cafe" in the middle of the wilderness with views of the glacier.

There were too many memorable moments to list. However, I will say that being able to see the pristine nature of the valleys and the rivers was inspiring and troubling. It was troubling when we thought about how much was at risk in terms of losing it like so many other wilderness areas. We felt very lucky to have been able to see the untouched beauty of nature there. I would also say that our stay at Cathy's island was quite enjoyable. A very nice way to end our trip and another beautiful location that is unspoiled. Of course, the fact that we were able to do this as a family made the trip inspirational and we are very thankful to Cathy for accommodating the novice nature of our riding abilities in such a safe manner. The support for the rides was fantastic and were the horses.

Standing with our small group at Laguna Amarga Ranch as a pregnant puma walked very close to us! Being able to observe pumas as they played, chewed on guanacho bones, "eeked" to call their cubs and teach them to hunt.

Seeing something like 10 glaciers on a perfect weather afternoon as the ship took an extra and unexpected spin into a fjord. And when a double rainbow had all the guests AND crew running outside for photos.

Early morning light on the Torres~ Sun-kissed with dark clouds behind them. The stillness of the air. The magnitude of the sky in that moment.

Gem was an exceptional guide. I loved his spirit and love for the area. My FAVORITE moment was the glacier hiking. I felt we were the only ones on the planet. Great guides. The Refugio’s were run very well and organized.
