In March 2019, I took a whirlwind trip to Patagonia for ten days of trekking with Intrepid. It was an incredibly enjoyable, if slightly fast-pace, tour that ticked off one of my big bucket list items!
I arrived in Santiago two days ahead of when our tour was supposed to begin. This gave me a few days to get over the jetlag and explore this cosmopolitan, safe and dynamic city. Two days later ready to go, I meet the rest of the team, shared dinner together in Santiago and off we went on a very early morning flight to Punta Arenas followed immediately by a bus to Puerto Natales. There were a LOT of early mornings on this trip – with so much to see in such a short period of time, there was no other way!
