Most memorable was Torres del Paine national park and climbing to the base of the granite peaks - something I'd dreamed about doing for years. Battling the Patagonian winds to stand on the beach photographing icebergs. Clinging on for life as we raced down the rapids white water rafting in the Lake District. (more)Ruth Edwards

Visiting patagonia was a long held dream. It lived up to my expectations from an cultural and environmental point of view. The Patagonian step has presence like no other i have experienced in many years of travel. (more)Geoff Crispin

I loved traveling around Patagonia, visiting blue and greenish blue lakes, the steppes, the glaciers, the snow capped mountains, the unusual wildlife. For me, Patagonia was pure magic. (more)Joanna Drzewieniecki

Memorable parts? Torres Del Paine national park, with its beautiful scenery. I could have stayed forever. And the most memorable bit was when we saw a puma! Every day had a memorable event though, I cant believe how much was packed into two weeks. Tips? Try to buy your own international flights to save money, although going into Santiago and leaving from Buenos Aires this may be expensive to do without the agent. Make sure you are used to mountain walking as some treks are 8 hours... (more)Beth Barnes

Memorable parts? So many highlights: tango in Buenos Aires, the unforgettable Iguazu Falls; but for me Patagonia and particularly the Perito Merino glacier was the outstanding memory of the trip. Nature in raw, exquisite and awe-inspiring beauty: simply stunning. Tips? You do need to pack for different weather conditions but even so do try to pack lightly so you still have space for all the things you will want to buy whilst you are there. Do consider also going to other parts... (more)Nicola Lindsey

Memorable parts? The massively varied scenery as we travelled from Buenos Aires to Patagonia down to Ushuaiau and up to Iguazu. Tips? Do not attempt to do too much unless you have plenty of time. Local benefits? Yes as we arranged the vacation through an Argentinian company who looked to these issues Overall rating? (more)Roger Heywood

Memorable parts? We did not do a 12 day highlights vacation. Instead we contacted the vacation provider direct and with them planned a 19 day trip. See below for views on this process. As far as memorable experiences, the list is endless. Perito Moreno glacier was amazing to see and hear - it really is blue in parts, and it was well worth paying extra to do the mini-trek. A great experience. So was horse-riding with a gaucho. Hiring a car and doing a 4 night circular tour from Salta was great.... (more)Ro Lynam

Memorable parts? The scenery, unbelievable and photos don't do it justice. Tips? Pace yourself, there's a lot of trekking and it's a lot steeper than you prepare for. Brilliant, do what you can and enjoy the scenery. Be prepared for the Patagonian wind. There's also a lot of traveling, but the scenery changes so much you won't be bored. Local benefits? Yes. There's always more you can do, but there's a good balance here. Overall rating? Excellent value for money. (more)Fran Adenis
