Would thoroughly recommend this trip if you are looking for spectacular scenery. Photos really do not do it justice but the mountains, forests, lakes, glaciers, waterfalls and even the clouds are breathtaking.
The trip starts in the city of Buenos Aires which is a mix of old and new and would suggest adding a day or two to the trip to see more of it as we did.
Our trip was in their autumn, the last trip of the year and the autumn colours in the national parks were beautiful.
We were lucky with the weather and only one of the hikes was cut short because of heavy rain and no view.
The additional trips are well worth taking. We did the tango show in Buenos Aires, then Perito Moreno glacier boat trip and the boat trip in the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia although it was disappointing that we were not told in advance of our trip that the penguins had already migrated. We did still see sea lions and a whale sighting was a bonus but not guaranteed.
Our tour leader, Lara, was superb as were the guides who joined us on each of the hikes.

Patagonia Adventure Holidays
James Pettigrew Discover Patagonia
Jane McVeigh Discover ChileGreat holiday from start to finish. Varied itinerary – I felt as if we’d covered a lot of ground & gained a good insight into the various areas/culture etc of Chile.
Dee R Discover ChileFrom snow-capped mountain peaks, lakes, volcanoes, glaciers to the desert, Chile had so much to offer! We covered so much in 2 weeks. This trip is the perfect way to see the country and the main highlights. We managed to see to some key wildlife such as Condors, Guanacos, Viscacha, Flamingos, and various more. Miguel, our leader was truly exceptional as a local leader as he had all the knowledge from wildlife, culture to geothermal, he had all the answers to our questions. Some of the hotels we stayed at were great from the views of Lake Pehoe from Hosteria Pehoe to the pool and outdoor area in San Pedro de Atacama, it was great to chill after some early starts.
