1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Making it to the Mirador Las Torres on a clear day! Spectacular mountain views, especially in Torres del Paine and around El Chalten.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Self-driving in Argentina from El Calafate to El Chalten was easy. Road was good between the 2 towns. If you are catching the bus to El Chalten bear in mind you will have to walk to your accommodation along broken paths and roads in the town of El Chalten, so backpacks better than suitcases. In Torres del Paine there are long distances between trail heads with very poor corrugated roads. Keep that in mind when deciding where to stay. We stayed at Hotel Las Torres so they transported us to the trailheads. Tom from the operator was very helpful every step of the way.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We did feel that we were benefiting local businesses. Travel arrangements were booked through local operators. Paying park entrance fees presumably helps support conservation. We did stick to the trails to reduce the environmental impact and of course left nothing behind!4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The Glacier was the most exciting. Eolo Lodge was the most memorable.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Do not try to book your own itinerary. Use a travel company with experience in the area you are going. It is worth it.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
For sure it helped the people who drove and guided us around and the staff at the hotels and restaurants we spent $ at. We left a fairly big carbon footprint to get there.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Every single connection was on time and executed perfectly with knowledgeable and friendly guides and drivers. Absolutely not one minor snag. We loved the small parts of Patagonia and Antarctica that we spent time at. Thanks.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
