Overall, we had an amazing trip
Overall, we had an amazing trip. Every location you chose was spot on for our delight, superb service, and food out of this world (frankly the tastiest stretch of food we have ever eaten). The Patagonia Choices including Helsingfors and El Pedral were the exact bit of quiet serenity, mixed with unspeakable beauty and copious amounts of wildlife that were all new to me and definitely new to Stephanie. She, as a first time South American traveler really got a taste of a mini adventure and different regions..which I am sure only wet her appetite for more. The attention we received at El Pedral was beyond that of just normal service, and if you can believe it, they cooked a Thanksgiving dinner just for Steph and I because they knew it was our holiday back home so so VERY special. I can’t tell you how much The Helsingfors people and El Pedral went out of their way to accommodate our every need, from breakfast selections, being ready at every minute, and most importantly never rushing us. It was awe inspiring.I felt particularly comforted in the communication with Jennifer back home and the constant updates whenever we called, not to mention the last minute plans to come home early that were executed beautifully with our cheerful guide.
