El Calafate Tours in Winter

This trip was an amazing way to see Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia. There were two full day hikes, one to base Torres and one to base Mt Fitzroy. Both hikes were about 15 miles round trip with 3000 to 4000 feet of elevation gain. Be prepared for these two full days of hiking. However, some of the group was able to hike faster while some could hike slower as there were three guides on each hike. The trip manager and guides were all friendly and helpful making for an enjoyable experience. Other activities included glacier viewing via boat, kayaking, and horseback riding which made for a well rounded trip. The weather is unpredictable so make sure you’re prepared for wind, rain, snow and sun possibly all in one day. This was the most active Contiki I have been apart of, and was a perfect change of pace from the usual city focused Contiki's. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to be in nature, experience Chilean and Argentinian culture, and have an active week.

The scenery in Patagonia is amazing. Every part of this trip exceeded my expectations. It is not an easy trip, but the difficulty in getting to these places, was more than worth it. I love being out in nature and experiencing all different kinds of weather And Patagonia certainly delivered.

The overall experience was outstanding. Patagonia is a wonderful destination, one of the last wildernesses in the world and a place to be treasured. We really enjoyed the hikes and would have been happy to do more. Tash the CEO and her colleagues were really friendly, helpful and passionate about Patagonia. Tash had excellent knowledgable about nature, flora, fauna and the areas we visited. The glaciers were breathtaking and the accommodation was excellent, especially Estancia Cristina, the remoteness was just what we needed, to be away from the frenetic ways of modern life for a while. The tour was well organised and communication was excellent. Would definitely recommend G Adventures for this type of holiday

Patagonia with Gluxe was super special and beautiful. The hotels were nice, especially Estacia Christina. What a special place. The hiking was exceptional. What a beautiful part of the world. The people on the trip, couldn't be nicer. Tasha was a really great CEO!

The trip organized by Mrs. Victoria and her colleagues were like a dream come true. Patagonia is amazing, and so are its people. If you are reading this review, you must already know about the beautiful nature there—the weather, the sky, and the stars. So I will just tell you that the team can and will create a perfect holiday for you, making you feel safe and relaxed every moment of your trip. Their local partners are also very professional, warm, helpful, and polite, taking care of everything one may need. Argentina is not just a holiday destination; connecting with its nature and people can help one become a more complete person—someone who understands the diversity and unity of a country. For me, travelling with them was like travelling with friends you can always rely on. Thank you all so much!

My husband and I wanted to spend a week in Patagonia but had very little time to research and plan where to go and what to do. Victoria was extremely professional, highly experienced, and brilliant to communicate with from my initial inquiry through the entire planning process. She customized an amazing itinerary for us that suited our time frame and far exceeded our expectations—from the daily experiences, tours, and tour guides to transfers within each city or town and all the finer details. Victoria was available to message and promptly answered all our queries throughout the trip, which made us feel safe, organized, and relaxed enough to enjoy every day. I would definitely use her services again if traveling to South America and highly recommend Victoria.
