“We have backpacking experience and didn’t need a guide, and Hello Patagonia gave us the flexibility to do the trip we wanted but took care of all the details. We ended up staying in platform tents and refugios and had an unforgettable experience. It was cost efficient and money very well spent.”Lynn Miranda (USA)
