February Reviews

Reaching the summit in the fossil hike. The description was underwhelming but the hike was an exceptional mix of forest, pasture, and barren mountain top with incomparable views. It would also be helpful to mention it is a 600 meter vertical climb.

There was a moment where we had spent about an hour hiking on our third day. When we reached the top of a ridge, we got our first view of the valley and it was utterly breathtaking. Patagonia is so beautiful that it does not make sense.

We created so many amazing memories that it's very difficult to choose just one. However, our stay at Torres Patagonia and our hike to Cerro Torre were absolutely incredible.

Lunch breaks on the viewpoints with the group.

Too many! Lunch at a glacier watching an avalanche, celebrating my birthday and my best friends birthday with a specially made cake by the Serrano camp staff, getting about a foot away a wild Guanaco, our talks with our amazing guide Anne. Too many to name.

Great adventure and experience. My fav part was site of FItz Roy after a hiking Laguna de los Tres.

The trip was great. Highlight was our night in bader valley because we were ‘alone’ of course with our guide and porter and the trek up there was challenging so we felt incredibly accomplished once we arrived and got to imenjly amazing views and waterfalls. Second best day was the last 10 minutes of the towers climb. You’re so exhausted and you know your close and then you get to the top and the view is jaw dropping. We also LOVED the domes frances for sleeping after 3 nights camping it felt like heaven!!

Every moment of this journey was memorable! Of course reaching Refugio Grey and completing the "W" was a great moment. Every step of the W trek is beautiful. The physical challenge is rewarding. Meeting our guide and learning from him about Patagonia was really so important. Staying at the refugios allowed us to meet people from all over the world who shared our love for this pristine place on our planet.

Hiking to the towers.

Proposing to my fiance at the base of the towers. The guides. Our first time walking through camp (our jaws dropped). Seeing the Torres del Paine from camp and on foot every day. The vibe of the camp.

Being disconnected from civilization and connecting as a group throughout the 7 day hike.

The experience as whole was game changing. I have never used a tour company but for this solo trip, at the end of the world. Swoop was incredible, they were organized, kind, helpful! All the companies they put me with outstanding.

The highlight was the scenery at the Torres del Paine. The walks were excellent, as were the guides. The group we were with worked very well and we got on extremely well. The EcoLodge was great fun to stay at. The food, accommodation and Service were excellent.

All was memorable and everything worked out perfectly. Two nights in Santiago Holiday Inn was smart so we could nap after arriving at 7:20 am. Got to San Cristobal Hill funicular- great views. Nice dinner about half mile from hill base. Explora hotel was marvelous with great hikes and estansia. Cape Horn cruise was especially nice and relaxing after all the hiking we did in Torres del Paine. Zodiac rides to glaciers, etc ere fun. Ushuaia was an interesting little town. Took a van and boat ride from the Tourist info Center to see penguins but had a surprise and also got to see whales and porpoises. Took a morning van ride to Terra del Fuego to see highlights. Again, after all the hikes in Torres del Paine, we didn't need more hikes here. Honestly, after Torres del Paine, Tierra del Fuego was not all that impressive. Maritime museum was very good. Next morning walked along the Ushuaia ocean front, then started our trip home through EZE.

Seeing glacier grey for the first time in 60-70km/hr winds. The views from French valley lookout were also spectacular.

Hiking to the top of the Base of the Towers with our entire group and being mesmerized by the beauty and grandeur of this National Park.

The main highlights were seeing the glaciers, climbing to the top of one of the waterfalls and walking among the penguins. Patagonia is one of the most serene places we have ever been. It is truly a place where you can enjoy the natural beauty that the world has to offer. During one of our excursions, the guide asked us to take one minute to enjoy in silence the sites and sounds that Patagonia has to offer. In that moment, we were truly able to appreciate the landscape, as well as the sites and sounds of the birds and other wildlife. Our stay at the Barraco Lodge was also very unique. The hospitality of everyone at the lodge and the level of service they provided was truly amazing.

Too many highlights. The landscapes are extraordinary. The Chilean were very welcoming, and all the other travelers I met along the way were super friendly. There were a few magical moments, riding into a rainbow, or experiencing a storm in Cape horn, or watching the pinguins.

Sunrise hike with beautiful pink/orange hues cast upon Cuernos. Magical.

Our back packing trip in Aysen Region in the pristine remoteness of Cerro Castillio and Patagonia Nacionale prior to arriving in Torres del Paine set the stage brilliantly and Patagonia Camp and Torres del Paine were perfect capstones to an overall "Life Changing" trip to Patagonia. Most memorable moment for me while in Torres del Paine was seeing the towers after ascending to the base.
