Glaciers & Snow Experience - 7 days / 6 nights

Anyone who knows me even a little knows that I would never choose such a cold destination to visit... but my son wanted to see snow, and I got excited about the idea, since I had never seen it myself.

My sister @nirc7 heard that and said: "We could go to Patagonia." I admit I thought: I don’t think it’ll work to go to Patagonia with someone who has limited mobility... But just to be sure, I decided to do some research.

I contacted two travel agencies about a year ago—an international one specialized in trips for wheelchair users, and a national one (based in Porto Alegre) specialized in Patagonia.

The international agency couldn’t make the trip happen. At the national agency (@patagoniaexperiencetravel), I started talking to Jefferson—a person with an intense life story and extraordinary sensitivity. He told me: "Thais, we’ve never done a trip for wheelchair users before, but after hearing your story, I’m willing to make this trip happen."

From then on, there were several back-and-forth conversations, explaining my sister’s limitations and the responsibility of taking her out of her familiar environment in the countryside of São Paulo for this trip.

One year later, we went to Patagonia—and nothing I say here can fully express my deepest gratitude to Jefferson and @patagoniaexperiencetravel.

Jefferson, thank you for believing even more than I did that this trip could happen. Thank you for understanding the situation and for your commitment to making everything go as smoothly as possible!

Thank you to all the guides who helped us and to the sailors who gave a hand lifting the wheelchair onto the catamarans. Thanks also to the guys at @llanosdelcastorushuaia for helping make the tours possible for @nirc7.

@nirc7... you truly are a warrior.
@correa.mariaalice... thank you for going along with our crazy plans! I know you prefer things way less extreme (I just remembered your face on the snowmobile).
@vitor_correan... My boy, I’m so glad you wanted to see the snow... Without that, none of these incredible days would have happened. You were an amazing travel companion. I love you.

Thank you so much to Jefferson and the entire team at Patagonia Experience Travel.

We would like to thank Patagonia Experience, especially Guilherme, for providing our family with a unique experience at the glaciers in El Calafate and in Tierra del Fuego in Ushuaia.

The logistics and organization of the tours were excellent, and the WhatsApp support for any questions was very quick and practical.

We highly recommend all families to hire the services of Patagonia Experience!

Our trip to Patagonia was simply fantastic!

The organization by Patagonia Experience was meticulous, and all the transfers and excursions were flawless, punctual, and amazing!

Beautiful landscapes, polite hosts, and professional guides in charge.

A trip that became unforgettable because of the company's commitment to its clients!

We are very grateful.

The trip went 100% as per the schedule.

All transfers, tours, without any incidents.

A beautiful, unforgettable trip, with stunning landscapes.

The kids loved it.

Already thinking about returning in the summer to see the penguins, at my son's request.

Thank you for everything!

See you soon!!

Incredible trip!

Impressive places full of stories and lessons!

We have kids aged 14 and 12 who already want to return.

Congratulations on the organization, the itinerary, and the choice of local partners, who were exceptional!

Amazing experience. Everything went well, the tours were great, very well supported by both the local team and the team in Brazil.

Very attentive staff, both in the choice of guides and the places to visit, which were a show of their own.

The hotels arranged were very good, and all the proposed activities matched our expectations,

considering we were with our children, aged 12 and 8.

I recommend the team, and if we return for another visit, we will reach out to them again.

Thank you, Patagonia Experience, everything was perfect!

A wonderful trip in the perfect place, with support I could count on 100% from the very beginning!

You are amazing!

We want to go again soon!

Our trip was wonderful!!

Everything went as well as possible — excellent hotels, very attentive guides, everything on time, and amazing tours!

We highly recommend the company Patagonia Experience!

We will definitely come back!!

We truly loved the experience!

I highly recommend that everyone who has the opportunity should visit Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.

I'm very grateful for the attention and care from Patagônia Experience — from the organization and details to the pre-trip conversation to share information and important notes.

With all of that, we enjoyed it 100%!

Thank you, Jefferson and Guilherme!

We’ll definitely be back!

Good morning, everyone!

I just wanted to say thank you. We arrived safely.

It was a wonderful trip, with amazing tours and stunning scenery.

You’re really great at what you do.

I’ll definitely recommend you to my friends!

I traveled with my children to Patagonia, and I must say I was amazed by the unique beauty of this place.

I’d like to thank Patagonia Experience for the trip, as well as both Argentine teams that are part of the crew — it couldn’t have been better!

Sure! Here's the translation:

Hi Jefferson, how are you?
We simply loved the trip! From the start, everyone treated us really well, the hotels were well chosen as they were in the city, and all the tours were very nice and amazing...

We would like to thank you for helping make this incredible trip happen!!

Thank you, and if you need anything else, just let us know!!

Incredible trip: wonderful hotels, amazing tours, well-prepared guides, and professional reception service; in addition to the spectacle of nature, glaciers in El Calafate, and winter centers in Ushuaia.

Equally intense leisure for both adults and children.

Definitely worth it!!

Jefferson, the trip was wonderful! From the first to the last day, we enjoyed it a lot, experiencing incredible beauty!
The days were perfect, with plenty of snow!

All the service providers were top-notch! Kind, courteous, and very attentive. The hotel in El Calafate is amazing! We swam in the pool while watching the snow! Incomparable! We loved the Cierto Castor, the glaciers, the train ride, and even the prison! In short, everything was flawless! In Ushuaia, we thought the hotel was a bit far from the center. But we understood that we wouldn’t find such a beautiful landscape anywhere else.

Congratulations to the entire team! You are excellent at what you do!

Thank you for everything!

Good morning, Eduardo. How are you?

I want to thank you for everything you've done and for the excellent setup you have. It's a very smooth trip because you provide a great sense of security. Thank you so much!!

Now, a suggestion: expand this to other places!
It's so easy and stress-free to travel with you. I'm heading to Portugal at the end of this month and I've already started to notice the difference... hahaha

Thanks for everything!

Big hug!

The trip was great!

Everything was perfect!

You were impeccably organized. Congratulations!!

Hello, Eduardo!

It was truly a wonderful experience!! We loved El Calafate, we loved Ushuaia!!

We were warmly welcomed by the teams there in Patagonia. We had an initial setback with our luggage, but in return, we received all the support we needed from both the agency staff and the hotel in El Calafate. Everything was resolved, and our Patagonia Experience couldn’t have been better!! Excellent hotels, extremely attentive guides, amazing tours!!

A big thank you to all of you: Eduardo, Jeferson, Guilherme! You put all your expertise into it and, with great dedication, gave us the Patagonia we had dreamed of experiencing!
We would even add to your slogan: an unforgettable Patagonia Experience!

We’re already thinking about coming back in another season!

Warm regards,
Adriana and Sérgio Simão

Good morning!

I really enjoyed the experience in Argentine Patagonia. All the tours were excellent.

The most incredible one was the trip to the Llanos del Castor winter center and the trek through the snowy forests with husky sleds and snowshoe hiking. I’d also like to highlight the below-zero Ushuaia off-road adventure through the Andean Lakes.

I’d like to commend the work of the guides. Noelia was excellent, Ivan was very attentive and kind, Franco was a great professional and an excellent cook, and Mariano was very well-prepared.

Here is my photo so you can post it on the website.

Best regards.

We thank the entire Patagonia Experience team for their attention and professionalism from the beginning to the end of our trip.

Our experience in Ushuaia and El Calafate was like a dream come true, and all of this was made possible thanks to the local partners and the organization of everyone involved!

Now, let the next adventures begin!
