The scenery is spectacular, the scale and beauty of the landscapes have to be seen to be believed, every day brought a new highlight but its the kindness and generosity of the people that made it such a special trip. Estancia El Condor is a slice of heaven and an experience of a lifetime.
Beautiful, scenic and relaxing This was an amazing experience for us. Although El Chalten is very touristy (I don't think I met a local), it offers amazing hiking routes for all types of fitness levels. At the end of one route, we ended up at a lake which had a glacier in the background and massive icebergs at the "shore". It was absolutely amazing. In El Calafate we ended up seeing the massive glacier, which was absolutely impressive! Just as a tip: If you'd like to do the walking routes, the boat ride isn't really necessary. It was included in our package, but if you're looking to save some time and money, you can easily exclude the boat ride without missing out on the majestic nature of this incredible iceberg. We also visited an Estancia (a ranch), where we rode horses, saw a sheep being sheered and ate some amazing lamb. My favourite trip! Highly recommended trip! Just bring a warm jacket ;)
Our first group holiday! A fantastic experience, well organised by our guide, Xavier. From the initial group meeting at the hotel in Buenos Aires till the final day, the trip well planned. Yes, there were some long travel days and the major treks were challenging but the Trip Notes reflected things accurately. The scenery was fantastic and this was matched by the sense of achievement felt on completion of the long treks (well maybe the day after!)
