This was a bucket list trip for me, and it exceeded all of my expectations. The itinerary was great, and the scenery/wildlife were unbelievable. Our tour guide (Andres) was superb, and I really enjoyed the hikes (tho I opted out of the big Mt FitzRoy one). I knew this trip was going to cover a lot of ground, but even our travel days were enjoyable. I would highly, highly recommend this experience!Show more
