Featured Video: Kayaking in Patagonia

"Our trip to Patagonia exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Sil's kindness and attention to detail, including her providing homemade biodegradable soap, pit toilet seat covers, pillows and towels, as well her preparation of traditional gourmet meals, made us feel welcome and comfortable. Gabriel is a talented guide and gentleman who was aware of and planned for our individual needs. He is knowledgeable and has has excellent "people" skills. The Ecolodge and Rincon Chico stays, along with the tour of the Peninsula, were nice beginnings and endings to the kayaking adventures. We would highly recommend this trip to your clients. It was an outstanding experience for all of us."
