Punta Arenas Trekking and Hiking Trips

Fantastic trip. Some of our party paid single supplement but had to share some nights. Advice on currency could be improved. And advice on provision for all the other tipping required - drivers and additional guides.

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.

What a country. The beauty of Patagonia is breathtaking. To experience it with like minded travellers is very special . On top of all this we were in the care of two very special guides. Jorgé and Diego were not only there to ensure our safety but their knowledge of fauna, flora and the geology of the region was very impressive. They also happened to be very friendly and full of fun.

Epic adventure. This trip was recommended by a friend who did it a few years ago. It certainly met expectations. Fantastic scenery in one of the most remote areas in the world. Our guide went above and beyond to keep things together. The group stayed chilled out went things went a bit off piste as we were confident our guide would sort it. He did and with aplomb.

The Chilean Condor trip for the Torres del Paine W-trek and Puerto Varas region was amazing. The views were great, the individual activities were exciting, and the guides were the best.

We have traveled and hiked all over the world. Originally we were disappointed we couldn't go on the trip to Patagonia in Argentina and Chile. We were asked if we would do the Condor instead since COVID kept us from crossing the border between Argentina and Chile. We were not disappointed! In fact this was an even better trip than the original! We were the first group in 2 years since COVID started to go with the tour operator to Patagonia. We had the unusual blessing of having great weather every day of the 2 weeks in lower and upper Patagonia. We hiked with Alvaro Jaime who was an exceptional guide, funny, encouraging and loves his native Patagonia. Our guide on the W in Torres de Paines was Christian. At every turn there was a nice surprise. We drank directly from the streams, saw puma and cub, heard and saw the avalanches in the French Valley, turned the corner and saw the magnificent Torres de Paines with the glacial blue lake in front and the glacial waterfalls in back with a bright blue sky reflecting off the granite towers. Wow! We fought the wind, saw the beautiful towers of the Cuernos or horns. The lakes filled with swirling rainbows and another with large icebergs were spectacular. At the end of the W trek, we went kayaking among those same icebergs and the last day went to the Gray Glacier to see it up close. The first week was full of new adventures and sights. The second week was spent among the volcanoes in Porto Mont. We hiked Osorno, the second most perfect volcano in the world after Mount Fuji. That was such a surprise for me to see all the volcanic beauty. Richard from KoKayaks was our guide in this temperate forest region, much different from souther Patagonia. We kayaked a fjord, ate lunch on an isolated peninsula where the 75 year old owner walks one hour to the closest road, biked around the second largest lake in Chile, white water rafted in Class 3-4 rapids, rested in an old German lodge and ate great seafood, beef and lamb. The vegetarian options were equally tasty. The whole trip was wonderful so if you have only one option this year - the Condor trip- don't worry. You won't be disappointed.
