This trip was one of our best ever. The drivers were punctual 💯 % of the time. The guides Paulina, Daniela, Alejandro, Marcela, Valeria, Ana, Agustin all absolutely wonderful (especially Paulina!). Every hotel was comfortable and well located. Loved all the tours especially Perito Moreno, trekking El Pingo, the Estancia (Dario and Ana were great and the lunch was lovely). Jesse did an incredible job in making this trip flow smoothly and include so many beautiful sites. We loved the Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia and Buenos Aires was like visiting a European capital.

MadreTierra Patagonia
El Calafate, Santa Cruz

MadreTierra Patagonia was okay, but the owner was pushy and insisted on selling excursions despite our plans. The room was tiny, though the beds were comfortable and breakfast was nice. Rosa, who served breakfast, was lovely.

Hotel Lago Grey
Torres del Paine

Hotel Lago Grey was a fantastic stay with breathtaking views in a quiet location. The excursions there were well-managed by Daniella, who provided a lovely snack and tea during our hike.

Activity Reviews
Perito Moreno Glacier Tour

Argentina

The Perito Moreno Glacier Tour was an amazing experience. The guides were knowledgeable, and the views of the glacier were spectacular. This excursion was one of the highlights of my trip.

Boat Trip to Glacier Grey

Chile

The boat rides on the trip, particularly to Glacier Grey, were wonderful. The experience was well organized, and the scenic views were simply breathtaking. I thoroughly enjoyed this part of the adventure.

4WD Excursion with Dinner
4WD Excursion with Dinner
El Calafate

The 4WD Excursion with Dinner was probably my least favorite part of the trip. The guide was nice, but the activity itself didn't feel as fantastic compared to others. It was a straightforward drive across the plain without much excitement.

Buenos Aires Walking Tour

Buenos Aires

The Buenos Aires Walking Tour was a bit too long at four hours of continuous walking. The guide, Valeria, was wonderful, but the heat made it hard to enjoy. A break in the middle for lunch would have improved the experience.

Hola Lorraine,

I'm so so happy you and Luis enjoyed your 17-day trip through Chile and Argentina despite the initial setback! I'm glad we were able to postpone things and everything went great during the actual trip 😊

Don't hesitate to reach out in the future for another trip to visit the rest of our beautiful country! Maybe a trip to the Atacama Desert or Easter Island? 🗿

All the best,
Jesse
