Beautiful location, great activities, good food and wonderful and funny guides.
I was a little worried about going here, because after I had fully paid I read some bad reviews. I believe the resort has addressed some of the issues - there are now two dinner options though at a resort this small and remote, from my experience at similar locations, a limited menu in the norm. The lunch boxes were big, healthy and appropriate for hiking.
The activities we participated in were wonderful! The guides made sure that we saw the park from variety of different perspectives. Most days we did 2 half day hikes, one in the morning and one after lunch. There was one day that we did a very challenging hike to a summit. The resort divided everyone into two groups according to age and physical abilities, so your activities could be limited depending on who is staying at Camp while you are there. We actually stayed for a 3 day program and 4 day program - so 7 days in total. I can say there was a little over lap in programming, but on our 4th day we stayed back at the resort to fish and relax and on the 7th day we stayed back and hiked, alone, on a trail on the property. In the end we were very happy with our experience.
There were a few people at the resort who were unhappy. They wanted to ride horses and walk on the glacier. They complained a lot - however, this was their fault or their travel agents fault. On the camp's website, it is very clear that they offer guided hiking tours. If you want to ride horses, walk on the glacier or anything else, find a hotel or tour company that offers those activities. I also read comments about people being upset that the camp is a 4 hour drive from the airport - again, not knowing this is from lack of appropriate research. One last comment, the resort is outside of the park, so every morning you have a 20 minute drive to the park plus where ever you are going, and for those use to traveling in national parks, they are big and it always takes time to get where you want. So be prepared to spend a lot of time in a van. There are hotels inside the park, so you can cut out the 20 minutes to the park every morning, but even at those places you will find yourself spending time in a van.
I was disappointed in the wine selection. The only wine that is included is a few house wines and my husband who is a beer drinker had to pay for his beers. I did expect a more with the wine and beer, and honestly I do not see why they charge for the beer.
We also had a hard time sleeping due to the wind. When it is windy, it feels and sounds as though your yurt is going to take off! However, I also thought this was kind of neat. The wind plays such an important role in the landscape of Patagonia, experiencing it in this way, for me, was part of my Patagonia experience.
This is a small resort (16 couples max) and so have the opportunity to get to know your fellow travelers. I have been to a few similar places and I always enjoy meeting others and had so much fun with the people we met at the camp.
