“This was a trip of a lifetime and far exceeded my expectations. As someone who has hiked some of the most beautiful places in California, Colorado and Europe, I’ve never experienced anything as spellbinding as the landscapes of Patagonia. On top of that, the staff, the food and the accommodations at EcoCamp were outstanding. This trip should be on everyone’s bucket list!”
