Patagonia Luxury Trips & Experiences

Polo was a great guide!

Julio Contreras was an awesome guide!

We enjoyed this hotel and our time in Buenos Aires. We did an awesome half day city tour and then went to a couple of museums the next day. The location of the hotel was super convenient to lots of shops and restaurants. The staff at the hotel was lovely and we loved the beautiful artwork in our room!

This place is spectacular! The owners were so lovely and made us feel so welcome. The food was truly amazing and the service just as awesome. We did several hikes from this lodge (we actually did a two hour hike on the way in to a beautiful glacier and then took the boat across to the Lodge). The warmth and hospitality are simply amazing. I loved the yoga dome too. Sitting on the deck overlooking the lake at sunset with views of Fitzroy was one of my favorite memories of the trip! All the other guests were so wonderful and it was just a slice of heaven! We also went fly fishing and had a great time catching lots of rainbow trout with our fantastic guides. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LODGE!!

We truly loved El Chalten! Amazing town with lots of bars and restaurants and shops. Gorgeous views and fun that the hike to Lagos los Tres ended up in town.

The breakfast here wasn't the best but we enjoyed the walk into town along the lake. El Calafate is a lovely little town and we decided that if we return we would plan to stay at a hotel or Inn in town. Wish we had more time to explore the town!

We loved this hotel. Great location and so much fun to spend time outside on the couches watching the sunset.

This hotel is really special and unique. So interesting and the food was awesome!

This was a must do activity! The river was so beautiful and we had the best time! Our guide was awesome and the weather couldn't have been better. We were a little nervous about the "rapids" but they were manageable even with our limited kayak skills. This was one of my favorite activities on the trip!

This is a gorgeous Estancia and the boat ride there and back was great. I loved riding horses and the views were spectacular. The staff, the lunch, the wine were all fabulous and we enjoyed the tour very much!

Very charming hotel. Clean and comfortable rooms. The decorations were modern and well thought out. Staff was very helpful storing our bags and answering questions. We loved the location as it was very close to the city square where there were so many restaurants and shopping. The breakfasts were very good. My favorites were the scrambled eggs, the coffee machine, and the calafate jam with local breads.

This was a very pleasant surprise. Our room was ready when we got off the boat. Food was amazing and served up buffet style. They also provide packed lunch for to take hiking for lunch. There are wood burning stoves located through out that offer some much needed dry heat. We got there late so seating by the fires was taken but it seemed like a great place to hang out after a long day hiking. Rooms are small but beds comfortable and clean. There is a shared shower / bathroom that is basic. We also used the Refugio after we checked out while we waited for our boat. They provide bathrooms, a mini mart, hot water and shelter for hikers passing through. A cup of ramen never tasked so good! They give each person 30 minutes of free internet and after that you can purchase more time based on needs.

Clean and close to many restaurants. They provided an extra early breakfast for us when we had to leave at 5am. Rooms are small but comfortable and clean.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. We were not sure what to expect and were so tired but from the very beginning our guide Vincenzo was amazing. He stopped along our journey out to the fjord to identify birds and let us get some pictures. We arrived at Alecia's home on the Eberhard Fjord and she welcomed us in to get changed. We were given ALL the gear from dry suits, to booties, to gloves for our hands. We were given some quick tips and set out in the sunny but very gusty water adventure. Our guide was so encouraging and patient. He made us feel so empowered and inspired us to kayak around the entire island, only getting snagged up once. We made two stops on the islands to stretch our legs. Vincenzo also took our camera and got some great pictures and videos of us in action. After the kayaking, Alecia invited us in for homemade sopapillas and calafate jam. She talked about her family and home and even took pictures with us. We felt very special and was a great way to end our tour.

We were told to walk down and be a the office of this tour by 7am. When we arrived it was not open. I tried to call several numbers with no luck. We saw a note on the door that said something about winter hours. We were about to leave when two others arrived. We all waited until someone came to open the office at 7:30. This was our first tour after returning to Puerto Natales the previous evening at 22:30 so having an extra hour to sleep in would have been nice. We eventually were transferred to a boat and waited another hour for the boat to fill with other guests. The journey to the glacier was very beautiful. We saw some smaller glaciers, waterfalls, and sea lions. The hike to the Serrano glacier was easy and scenic. Guides there were helpful and answered questions about park and glacier. On the way back we stopped and and had lunch at a ranch. The food there was good. The boat serves coffee, snacks and whiskey with glacial ice cubes.

This hike! Wow. We were very limited with time for the hike as we needed to be back at trailhead by 16:00 to catch the last boat at 1700 to our Refugio. We had a super early pickup of 5:00. We started the hike by 7:15. It was dark and raining / sleeting. The trail conditions started out quite muddy but improved over the next few hours. The sunrise views were so amazing, even in the rain. We moved at a very good pace with no stops but after arriving at the Chilean Refugio our guide advised us that we should reconsider climbing the final rocks as it was snowing quite hard up there, he talked with others that were there and there was no view of the towers plus the snowy conditions would make the rocks very slippery and also make it so that we would really have to rush through the hike. We agreed to go to the alternative lookout spot and from that point stopped and took lots of pictures and soaked up the beauty of the hike. It is such an amazing hike with so many different perspectives from mountains, to rivers, to forests, to rocky cliffs. We really enjoyed the changing weather from rain to snow then back to sun. We made it down by 1530 and did not feel rushed at all. We missed the last scramble but feel like due to conditions, we made a good choice to slow down and enjoy. We ended up going to the alternative lookout but were not able to see the towers at all.

We really didn't know what to expect for this but were hoping to see some Condors. We saw one but very far away. We were told it was an easy hike which turned out to be an hour hike straight up a mountain side. We climbed 1750 feet in 1.49 miles. It was manageable but we were not prepared for that type of activity. On a positive note, the views from above were stunning and our guide was energetic and fun. Biggest disappointment was not seeing condors!

We arrived for our briefing early and Jessica was able to adjust to this. We had been traveling for 24 hours straight and wanted to get to bed early that evening. Jessica went through our itinerary and helped to plan through issues like transferring bags from one hotel to the other. She gave tips on the trails and what to expect for the meals.
