What an epic adventure of a lifetime to Japan with both old friends and new friends. Unforgettable journey! Jane and Marcia did a fantastic job coordinating all of our interests and more. I can’t wait for our next journey together! I would travel with them in a heartbeat!
The only criticism I might have would be the overlapping emails from “WeTravel”. I know it was auto generated but It was confusing when you know you paid and they sent you another reminder to pay.

Patagonia is a vast land, defined by its wild, remote, and untouched nature. For decades, it has been a sanctuary for adventurous travelers, however, it has increasingly become a bustling hub for hikers embarking on grueling 4 to 10-hour treks just to catch a glimpse of the iconic vistas in Chile's Torres del Paine or Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy. For adventurers looking to uncover the untouched, wild spirit of Patagonia without walking for hours or sharing the trails with massive crowds, Patagonia can suddenly feel out of reach. But this journey brings that dream back to life, this program was carefully crafted to return to those essential roots. Your group will venture even further south than traditional Patagonia.

This grants the journey an immediate sense of exclusive, remote exploration, cultural meaning, as it is the ancestral home of the Yaghan people, offering a deeply moving insight into how humanity has thrived at the very edge of the Earth. A destination that very few have ever reached.&nbsp;
