It’s easy to take up novels worth of pages explaining my trip. But you need answers now. So here go- the fast and dirty to the point summary of 3 weeks of travel:
Saturday October 26, 2019: Fly to BA -
October 27 : Arrive El Calafate -
Very Anticlimactic. Don’t just Argentina by this town.
October 28 : Bus El Calafate > El Chalten
THIS is Patagonia! Eat all the empanadas and hike all you can. Always layer your socks.
October 29 : Epic Hike
I don’t recommend de los Tres AND Los Torres in the same day, but it IS possible
October 30 : Recovery day while it stormed
The Southern end of town is less commercialized. La Biciclete & La Senyera Cocina Argentina - yummm
Enjoying some empanadas! (Rachel Shull)
October 31 : Bus from El Chal > El Calafate
La Estepa hotel - wonderful dinner and very friendly dog
November 1 : Perito Moreno Glacier
I walked on a glacier! Highly recommended.

November 2 : Fly to Ushuaia
Shopping time to find a new Buff and eat some crab! Do not stay at Hotel Monaco
November 3 : Trek and Paddle Tierra del Fuego
Fun variety activity, but not very “adventurous” or fast paced
November 4-12 : ANTARCTICA CRUISE
All your photos will not be enough, but you’ll be glad you took so many
We're walking on a glacier! (Rachel Shull)
November 13 : Disembark Ship-
Civilization feels weird. Go visit the Earthship.
November 14 : Ushuaia Hiking -
The trails were flooded out so we got lost… a nice neighborhood dog joined us!
Playing with the neighborhood dog! (Rachel Shull)
November 15 : Fly to B.A. -
Even an introvert can enjoy this big city!
November 16 : Fly home
Take this time to start sorting your photos “When I have time” back home isn’t a thing.
The trip was planned well. They worked through local travel planners in the two countries we visited. The trip planner was fairly knowledgable, but she could have been better. The hotels selected were good. There were a few things I think they could have planned better related tot he transportation between the carious locations we visited, but it was a great trip overall.

We had an initial virtual meeting with our trip planner, Sandra Fernandez, who was great. She was efficient, friendly, yet very professional. She not only answered all our questions, but also addressed our concerns honestly. After our 30-minute conversation with Sandra, we decided to book our cruise with her.
