El Calafate: Gateway to Patagonia’s Glaciers
El Calafate is the gateway to one of Patagonia’s most unforgettable natural wonders: the glaciers of Los Glaciares National Park.

Watching and hearing ice calve from Perito Moreno Glacier is something that stays with you long after you leave. El Calafate offers a balance of awe-inspiring nature and comfort before continuing deeper into Patagonia.

Hiking Through Chilean Patagonia: Moments That Stayed With Me
Patagonia pushed me in all the best ways. I hiked through rain, wind, fog, and freezing temperatures, only to be rewarded with moments so stunning they felt unreal—like when the clouds briefly lifted to reveal snowy peaks glowing in soft light. What makes Torres del Paine so special to me is how it slows you down, humbles you, and reminds you that nature sets the pace. Having experienced these landscapes firsthand, I now guide clients toward tour companies like Backroads—whose thoughtful pacing, route options, and support allow travelers to truly embrace the magic and challenges of this extraordinary place.
