Patagonia National parks Trips

The accommodations were excellent. As was the tour guide. Most of the excursions were very enjoyable and informative. We opted for the organic farm. The only things I wouldn’t recommend are the tropical walk requiring mud boots. The boots didn’t fit well, the path was hard to navigate and the sights were not very interesting. The only 2 people who opted for the volcano hike were the younger tour administrators. We were all from North Carolina where the beaches are beautiful. The last day trip to a beach was a waste. We opted for an independent aerial tram tour that included a butterfly house and bat habitat. I thought it was one of the real highlights of the trip. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

This trip was excellent. The itinerary was well thought out. I could not have imagined that Trafalgar had done such a unique job……. Special mention to the Tour Director Herman Rojas. He was a great part of what made this trip so good. He is a asset to Trafalgar.

Perfect mix of wildlife tours, local cultural experiences, optional excursions & thrills like horse riding, white water rafting & zip wire. Comfortable hotels, swimming, good company, wonderful trip leader & driver. The small group is a plus if you enjoy meeting people and sharing experiences.

Excellent trip over Christmas week 2025. La Gomera is a lovely, peaceful, rural island for walking with delicious food as well (and large portions of it!). The walking is reasonably varied with a bit of up and down, but not really demanding. I wish I had taken my poles as some of the downhill after rain was quite muddy albeit nothing serious. Our tour leader, Bert Palmen, was a superb host, guide and organiser and very funny! Strongly recommend this trip.

The trip was excellent. Caroline and Sam were wonderful. Caroline provided great information and Sam got us safely to every venue. Both were incredibly personal and caring. A few people got ill on the trip and they took care to get people to doctors and hospitals. I learned a great deal about Tasmania and had a wonderful time. The weather did not cooperate at times but that did not stop folks from having a good time.

As advertised, this trip is hectic. Little time to stop and reflect Not all the locations are equally appealing, or necessary it seems to me eg Puerto Montt. Even so my trip was an extremely well organised whizz through a spectacular country. The landscapes in Atacama and the Paine national park are astounding. For those who like birds and wildlife it is wonderful. The Andes are a sight to behold. So it you are content to take the travel pain for the sake of a glimpse of a spectacular country, then go for it. I was. Despite drawbacks I don't regret it.
