1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Walking in the parks was great. Driving was also terrific as we did not have to rely on anyone else or public transport, and we could get to places off the beaten track.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Definitely do a bit more planning about the places and the demands of the walks in the parks. We are not young and I thought I could do more, but I couldn’t. However, if I had gotten a lot fitter and planned our time better, I would have gotten more out of our trip. Get a GPS which works in Argentina and do your homework about the currency to use in Argentina. Do not use your credit card, but take lots of US dollars at this time.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We certainly supported the local economy due to the amount we spent. The other aspects were not immediately obvious to us on this trip.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Fantastic. I wish we had added an extra week.Jem Ahmed review 5 Dec 2022

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Seeing penguins & whales in Patagomia.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Change money at western union or similar exchange place not at banks as the rates are very different. Note that for internal flights you only have a 15kg allowance but you can carry up to 5l of liquids so can reduce your hold luggage weight by carrying shampoo etc. Also hand luggage was never weighed so fill your carry on with heavy items like boots. Take snacks if you are vegan/vegetarian.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Unfortunately no but we did try to stay in hotels that had environmental policies such as using plant based, refillable body wash containers. & not changing sheets/towels during our stay. Our wine tour visited only small producers who sold direct from their vineyards rather than via retailers.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Fabulous. Varied landscapes & experiences as well as climates.Neo Chian review 25 Jan 2020
