Outstanding Trip! Great mix of activities as the kayaking and bike riding were both truly memorable. Our guides were super and made the trip fun and enjoyable. Great scenery, food, and places to stay! Couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend the trip.

I went straight from the Annapurna basecamp trek to Bhutan. The cultural contrast between the two countries couldn’t have been more vivid. If you have the time and funds, I highly recommend doing both back to back in that order.
Bhutan was unlike any place I’d ever been. With the exception of the hike up to the Tiger’s Nest, the hiking in Bhutan is pretty low key, especially compared to Annapurna or Everest basecamp. For the most part, hikes on this trip are flat, or even downhill. Nothing that requires much preparation, provided you are reasonably fit and can walk 4 or 5 miles without issues.

What an incredible trip! Trekking to EBC is, for many, the trek of a lifetime. And, after doing the trip, I can say it is for good reason. The trip was amazing. The scenary was epic. It changed from lush to mountainous to glacial. Each view was better than the last. And, trekking through villages and towns, seeing how people lived in the Himalayas, was also a highlight.
In terms of the trip, Active did an incredible job. It was very well organized. Every detail was considered. I felt safe, well cared for, and that I was with the best organization leading trekkers. The guides were fun, energetic, engaging, and careful about everyone's health and happiness. I cannot say enough good things about them. And, working with the back-office team at Active was a pure delight. If you are going to do EBC, Active is the company to use. Full stop.

Our trip was an amazing experience. The W hike we did was a highlight for us. Our trip leader Jessica and local guides Chris and Ian made it a wonderful experience. Each day and each hike and each refugio were so diverse, it added a new dimension each day. Our weather, according to our guides could not have been better. We had sunny, blue skies and virtually no Patagonian winds on the W hike. We had crystal clear views in Torres del Paine. We were very well fed and that helped fuel us along. In particular, we really enjoyed the public spaces (the bar) at Refugio Cuernos. Kayaking on Lago Grey was also a lot of fun and a good way to end the W hike.
Our hikes in Argentina were also spectacular. The local guides - Cecelia, Luis, and Julie were also excellent. Again, overall we had wonderful weather and amazing views of El Chaltan, which many people don't get to see. We only had small glimpses of Serro Torre. We were very well cared for by Rafa - the owner of the Patagonian Queen Hotel - his passion for his hotel, guests, and El Calafate were above and beyond. And the asado he prepared for us on our last night with all the trimmings was truly from the heart.

I greatly enjoyed the South Patagonia trip five years ago and always wondered what the northern part might look like. I found out this year and have no regrets. It is called the Lake District for good reasons as there seems to be no end of beautiful and pristine lakes of various sizes. Instead of the glaciers of the South, I was treated here to the spectacular views of the snow covered volcanos. Needless to say that the hiking was fabulous with this backdrop.

The Condor Itinerary was great! I saw and did so many things I never even thought about before and feel like I truly experienced a real sampling of the southern part of Patagonia. Now I want to see what Active Adventures could show me in the northern part of Patagonia! Overall, the trip was great journey - with many interesting people - and I’ve got some amazing memories. The excursions were unique, the activities were challenging and the food was awesome! Also, the guides (especially Alvaro, our coordinator) were fantastic. As one member of the “Family†said: “11 out of 10 starsâ€. I'd definitely recommend that anyone who wants to visit the "Fin del Mundo" take this trip :-)
