Traveling to Patagonia was without a doubt one of the best experiences our family has ever had—and a huge part of what made it so special was our guide, Diego. Diego is not only a brilliant steward of this magical land, he is an amazing listener, thoughtful guide and works tirelessly to cultivate an authentic and exciting experience based on each individual family’s needs/wants/desires. Diego was aware that we are avid hikers and that we relish novel hiking experiences. Based on the fact that we came in begging for adventure, he wasted no time taking us to his favorite untrodden spots within the Torres del Paine National Park, slowing building us up to a successful, invigorating full day trek starting at dawn to watch the sun rise over las Torres. In addition to our hikes, we encountered wildlife, dined with locals and witnessed the mind-blowingly precise and agile sheepherding at Estancias Patagonia. Diego is an excellent chef, provided dining experiences at every turn (including wine, beer and treats…even at the base of las Torres after 5 hours of hiking!!!). Our family highly HIGHLY recommends Diego and Chilean Vistas. We will always remember our trip and will consider Diego a friend.
