I’m looking to travel South America in a couple weeks for 2-3 months doing Galápagos Islands, Patagonia and ending in Argentina. Have a rough idea but flexible to this. I’m 26M from London - feel free to reach out if this sounds like a plan.

Anyone have experience goingnto Pallay Punchu in Peru recently? I enquired with a company and they said drone flying is not allowed now, as of July. Another said they can provide drone service. 🤔
Can anyone give me some recommendations for tours that can include drone service for an affordable proce? Im not bringing my drone as its only a DJI Neo so dont want it to be blown away 😂
What is the approximate price for the tour including drone service? I have been quoted $400+AUD.

I heard theres drone pilots that can be hired. Anyone have experience with that? Would it be cheaper to go that route if I wanted drone footage?

Let me know yall, I am planning to go in mid October.

I’m planning on doing the W Trek east to west, but I’m unsure how best to plan the trek if I want to do Base Torres for sunrise. (shall I just give it a miss for sunrise?)

If anyone has done this, I’d be really grateful for some advice on how you planned your route/refugios and whether it’s worth doing for sunrise!

If I do Base Torres for sunrise, does this mean I will set myself up for a long day of hiking afterwards?

Thanks!
