A memorable Patagonia vacation for 3 generations
We had a wonderful and very memorable vacation to Patagonia over the holidays! Our travel agent Matias at SA Expeditions did a superb job creating the perfect itinerary for our family with young adult children, myself and my husband and my mom/grandma. We flew from LA, spent a day in Santiago and then enjoyed Torres del Paine National Park (on Chile side). We enjoyed very nice rooms with gorgeous view of the fjord and all-inclusive excursions and meals at our hotel (Singular). We did a full tour of the national park and visited various vista points -- all gorgeous views! Another day, we took a boat ride to see the fjords, did a short hike to see Grey Glacier and visited a ranch where we enjoyed lunch, saw demos of sheep-herding and sheep-shaving and then enjoyed horseback riding along the beach of the fjord. Those were activities enjoyed by all of us across the generations. Then some of us did more active excursions (biking and horseback riding on more adventurous trails) while others took it easy to enjoy browsing works of local artists at nearby town, Puerto Natales. All of us enjoyed learning how to make empanadas in a cooking class taught by Chef Pancho! The hotel dining areas and bar were warm and cozy with great ambience -- perfect for enjoying quality time with family. The restaurant offered a wide range of delicious dishes and we were surprised that we didn't manage to sample all of them during our stay. We appreciated the wonderful hotel staff, tour guides and concierge team who helped to make a very memorable vacation!
