Having completed numerous active adventures since our retirement 12 years ago, (many of which were 5 out of 5 in difficulty level) we thought it might be time to leave the mountains. Not so fast. Perhaps we could continue our mountain explorations if we scaled back a little on the difficulty level and improved the accommodations available. The Puma trip to Northern Patagonia (activity level 3 out of 5) was just the answer. This trip included numerous mountain hikes, lake and fiord kayaking, white water rafting, and fabulous scenery. After a busy day we always went back to lovely accomodations, excellent culinary delights with refreshing beverages, and a comfy bed to sleep in. The trekking is not a walk in the park, and still requires a good level of fitness. We enjoy getting ready for the trip with many visits to the gym and other active pastimes. Mayra, our tour guide, could not have been more friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We were very sad to say goodbye!

It was a very very enjoyable experience not just because i had my younger daughter with me but because it was so well organized by Active Adventures. The Patagonian lakes ( and fiords, waterfalls, volcanos, towns etc) surpassed my expectations. And our main tour guide, Mayra, was just terrific & catered patiently to everyone's needs, especially mine as i "inched" my way up a couple of climbs. And her assistants, especially Richard, were very likeable and fun. I have already recommended your web site to several neighbors younger and more fit than i. On our way back to Bariloche from Chile, I recall seeing another tour guide with a bullhorn & thanked my lucky stars for being part of Mayra's group. Thank you all for this trip. Jock Wright

I was quite nervous about this trip, as I knew I wasn't completely up to the fitness level that would be needed. What surprised me most was how accommodating our trip leader (Mayra) was, and how carefully she coordinated things so that there was something for everyone to do at the level best for them. I was fully prepared to stay back at the hotel during the most challenging hikes, but I never had to do that. There was always something that I could participate in. Overall the trip was simply fabulous. We had wonderful food, interesting places to stay, great places to see without hordes of other tourists in the way, excellent guides who were knowledgeable and helpful, and great weather! :)

The Puma trip was a fantastic experience and a lot of fun. We had such a good group with a terrific guide (Mayra) and the scenery was absolutely magnificent. Lots of laughs too! I'm really glad I went.

Our trip to Northern Patagonia was fabulous! Not just the hiking, kayaking and rafting, but our guide Mayra was exceptional! She and her guides could figure out our abilities and tailored the physical activities accordingly ....whether slower as I was, or if a more challenging hike would appeal to someone else in the group.
The places we did our overnights were bed and breakfasts, boutique hotels, a mushroom hotel with spa and hot tub in the woods to staying on an island that smelled of fresh wood.
They were all charming and different.
I cannot recommend this trip highly enough!
The Argentina and Chile people were friendly, helpful and so hospitable. It was always fun to explore and chat with them if we could

This is a fabulous trip and I highly recommend this adventure to anyone who might have second thoughts of the southern Patagonia trek--northern Patagonia cannot be beat in terms of beautiful awe inspiring vistas. The hikes are structured to include different fitness levels, so one can challenge their limits can take a more moderate approach. I cannot speakly highly enough of our group leader, Mayra. Her knowledge, expertise and experience allowed me a confidence to fully embrace this adventure.

The Puma trip was amazing...a great place to be during North America winter...70-85 every day! The itinerary
was jam packed with great hikes, kayaking, and amazing food! The asados were wonderful. Our AA guide Mayra was wonderful and kept us all moving and happy; the local guides were great also, very knowledgeable and friendly. Great location, the views were amazing, and including both Argentina and Chile was a bonus!
