"Fernando, I just wanted to let you know that we had a great trip. Thanks for all of your help."

"Fernando, my son Alec and I had a wonderful time on your Fitzroy trip in 2003. My photo of Fitzroy won "best of category" in a local photo competition a couple of weeks ago! "

"I miss Patagonia everyday. I don't know if I can tell you enough what an AWESOME trip it was. Our guides were always very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. They really made an effort to get to know us and to make our trip as enjoyable as they could. Patagonia itself is absolutely beautiful and amazing. When people look at my pictures they tell me I should work for National Geographic. I tell them I really have no photographic talent, it is just really hard to take a bad picture of something so beautiful. The adventure-challenge level was just right for me. There was lots of hiking (up lots of mountains) but it was never too challenging or dangerous (there were no scenes from Cliffhanger). Everyday was perfect, hike for 8-12 hours, go back to the tent, drink some wine, eat some excellent food (the cooks were awesome!) and go to bed exhausted. My favorite day of the trip was when we did the Glacier Hike in Fitz Roy. It was the hardest day of hiking, but what a great experience. I loved that our guide for that trip did not speak one word of English, but somehow communicated all the necessary things. There was another guide with us who was there for the whole trip who did speak English so he helped interpret. None of us fell in a crevice so that was good. I do have to say I was in quite a bit of pain from kicking myself with the crampon so many times. I think we were all in agreement that they need to change the name from "Holiday on Ice" to something a little more adventurous. Holiday on Ice sounds like a figure skating contest. We met so many nice people while we were there, unfortunately I haven't kept in touch with all of them. When we were at your house we talked about how people can come from completely different backgrounds and yet when you get to know them, you find that you are actually very similar. Fernando, I just wanted to say thanks for all of your efforts in making our trip so memorable."

Kate Braun

"Fernando, Beth and I wanted to thank you and Camino Abierto for the great vacation we just had in Argentina and Chile. We usually prefer to travel on our own, but for this trip we chose to take a guided tour because of our unfamiliarity with the area, and we were not disappointed. The guides were excellent, our fellow travelers were an interesting and congenial group from the far corners of the world, and the organization took care of all the details, leaving us free to enjoy the spectacular trekking. I hope we can return to Argentina for another such trip in the not too distant future."

Stephen Slatin

"We loved the trip - the hikes were beautiful, each in different ways. The camping was great - the sites, the beauty, some of the patagonian winds and the people (several of whom I am still in contact with). The staff was always helpful and warm and friendly and knowledgeable. One needs only to want to travel, love the outdoors, and he/she won't be disappointed!"

Cathy Schaffer

"Fernando, gracias por todo, estuvo genial. "

Montse Taulina

"Patagonia Adventure Trip was an incredible experience. The company was very flexible to work with and did a tremendous job tailoring our trip to be the experience we wanted. The guides were all excellent and the scenery was spectacular. My friend Keith really enjoyed all the beautiful Argentine women that were also on the trip. And my friends Kate and Ellen more than enjoyed the scenery of the good looking guides leading them up the mountains."

Susan Weigel

"Fernando, I'm sure we will all get around to thanking you. It was a wonderful trip, starting with the guides, interesting people all, who loved what they were doing, continuing with a robust group of trekkers well traveled and equipped to enjoy themselves, good food, good wine, good sleep from good exhaustion, and ending with the outstanding Patagonian weather. Just let's say this trip was perfect for me, and if I was foolish enough to have any particular expectations, this vacation handily exceeded them."

Sthephen Bowles

"Fernando, thanks for all your help. All the guides were very good. Scenery was beautiful and the drivers were excellent. Thanks again. "

Elena Capsuto

"In February 2001 I spent 8 days in the Torres del Paine park with 15 other people camping and trekking with Oscar Pandolfi as our guide. I often think of the trip because of the shear beauty of the area, the great variability of the weather and the diversity of the scenery. We hiked in valleys, over rock falls and up to a huge glacier with surprisingly blue icebergs calving off of it. Each day was a new adventure.

I attribute much of the success of the trip to our guide, Oscar, who was very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora of the area and who made sure that we were well provided for and enjoyed ourselves as a group during meals and on the trail. I highly recommend a trip to Patagonia for anyone who would like a unique trekking experience."

John Finston

"The Patagonia trip was a great trip!!! I enjoyed all aspects of the trip. Words and photographs are inadequate to describe Patagonia. Patagonia is a place to be experienced. I feel privileged to have had the chance to experience it with you, as our guide, and the rest of our group. I particularly appreciated your knowledge of the local flora and await the publishing of your book. I appreciated the patience, humor, and expertise that you demonstrated. As well, I appreciated all the hard work that you and the boys (don't tell Marianne that I used that word) did for us. I appreciated the diversity of our group. I enjoyed getting to meet everyone. John and I are going to go up Mt. Whitney in October.

I thought the amount of hiking that we did was just right. It wasn't too short and it wasn't too long. It was nice to come to the refreshment tent after a day's hike and have a nice, cold Pisco Sour. The scenery was just amazing. And your ability to hold off the rain was incredible. All in all, I thought it was a very, very special trip."

Mike Kent Lee

"I took a trip with Oscar's company in February, 2001. I had a marvelous time. The weather cooperated (thank goodness), and we had several wonderful days of hiking. He structured the trip so that all people could hike at their own pace, and not feel left behind, or could ahead and have fun at their own pace. It was great to know that your pace, for that day, could always be accomodated. In addition, it was wonderful to come home to meals that we all enjoyed. I had a super time, and would definitely recommend Oscar's trip to a friend!"
