Reviews for Patagonia highlights vacation
Janine Jackson review 8 Dec 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
There were many highlights, but we particularly loved the amazing glaciers, the National Parks and hike up to see the 3 Torres and Buenos Aires.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
It is a busy trip but that means you see and experience an awful lot in a short space of time. There are quite a few 'optional' days which means you can rest if you like, and have the options for more arduous hiking if enjoy that or spend the time relaxing or doing less arduous walks. The scenery is outstanding but the weather can be very mixed so be prepared for everything - cold, wet, windy and hot and humid! Lots of lovely food with good veggie options.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes definitely - the local guides talked in depth about conservation in the National Parks and at the glaciers in particular. We were very aware of the human impact on the environment and learnt a lot about how this is affecting this part of the world.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
A totally fabulous and awe inspiring trip. Incredibly well organised and we were looked after extremely well whilst also being given the chance to explore independently if we wanted to. The scenery was spectacular, we felt totally immersed in the natural world at times, but also enjoyed the contract of the cities.Martin Mackenzie review 8 Jan 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The whole trip was great. Seeing the glaciers at Lago Grey and Moreno were a highlight as well as beach riding in Uruguay.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Argentina is a strange place for money changing an the fees at the ATMs are high with limited withdrawal. No cash exchange at the airport so budget wisely.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
There was certainly a trip where conservation was at the foremost of the locations we visited in Patagonia.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
