Our Beautiful Patagonia adventure was outstanding from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, perfectly balancing guided excursions with free time to explore. Every destination—Puerto Natales, and El Calafate—offered incredible scenery, excellent accommodations, and smooth logistics throughout. Though we didn't get to complete El Chaltén due to unexpected weather (wind) advisory, I'm sure it would have been just as well thought out.

The guided hikes in Torres del Paine were unforgettable, especially the trek to Mirador Base Las Torres and the French Valley. The Perito Moreno Glacier ice hike was another once-in-a-lifetime highlight. Each guide was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about sharing Patagonia’s beauty and culture. Our driver was also intregal though out our trip.

Jimena, Rae, Erin and the Dittmar Adventures team were exceptional—responsive, organized, and attentive to every detail. Thanks to them, our group of 13 had a seamless and truly memorable experience. Highly recommend this itinerary for anyone wanting to explore the best of Patagonia with expert local support.

Hi Kirt!

It’s wonderful to know you could enjoy your last days worry-free, and that you made some epic memories—especially the trek to Mirador Base Las Torres and the Perito Moreno Ice Hike. Those are definitely once-in-a-lifetime highlights!

I also want to send a personal thank you for being so organized and for the great communication we shared. Planning such a detailed itinerary for a group of 13 was a fun challenge and a big learning experience for me, and your collaboration was essential to making it all a success.

I sincerely wish you and the group many more awesome trips together to keep that great friendship going strong.

Kimkim in general (Erin in particular) were extremely helpful in developing our Argentina Patagonia itinerary. They were very responsive, friendly, and professional. We made LOTS of changes along the way and they were always accommodating.
El Calafate was a good starting point for some glacier excursions. Estancia Cristina was a nice combo including a boat trip across Lake Argentina (some ice bergs along the way), a nice easy hike to view Upsala Glacier, and an unexpectedly good lunch for such a seemingly remote place.
Perito Moreno glacier is almost indescribable, a must see as photos don’t do it justice. Private guide there really is not necessary as the boardwalks are well marked. If I had it to do over, I’d add an excursion ONTO the glacier as we could see people doing.
Laguna de Los tres was our one long hike. This hike requires you to be in decent shape (13-15 miles, steep at end, 9 hr day). You don’t really NEED a guide as the trails are well marked, but I really enjoyed the day with Nicolas from Walk Patagonia. The info he provided on the geology, fauna and flora enriched the experience.
Ushuaia was very interesting to see. Because of arrival times and excursions, we had to squeeze in and rush through the Prison Museum - I would budget more time for that if I could. The trip down the Beagle Channel is a must-do. Piratour is the one company that allows you to land and walk on Martillo Island with the penguins. That was pretty incredible to see.
While Tierra del Fuego national Park was pretty, I must say it paled in comparison to what we had already seen to this point farther north and I’m not sure I would book that again. The “train at the end of the world“ I most definitely would not recommend unless you have small children. It was a slow moving “choo-choo“ that really did not provide much in the way of views, just a very touristy experience with high-pressure sales of photos of yourself. If I did it over, I would’ve used that time to perhaps get farther up into the national park on a hike, get something other than a drive up viewpoint type of experience.
Overall, I was very happy with this itinerary and my experience with KimKim and I plan to use them again with an upcoming anniversary trip with my wife.
