1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Many memorable parts including staying at the Ecocamp, the whole Torres circuit trek which was made by having an excellent guide and support team, the visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier and the fossilised trees, New Year in Buenos Aires.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Read a cultural history of Patagonia by Chris Moss in advance of travel; take sufficient cash to settle tips on the trek, safely drink stream & tap water throughout, don't try to take any food including dried fruit, trail mix etc into Chile.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes hopefully benefitted local people through employment and most definitely Ecocamp and Cascada in particular were very sensitive to minimising our impact on the Patagonian environment by use of composting toilets, recycling waste etc.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent.
