A day spent well

5.00Very well planned tour. Louise, Martin and Rodrigo ensured every minute of the tour was planned and managed efficiently. They gave a lot of information on the way. Hiking trails were just right and waterfalls was beautiful. We even had time to take a stroll in El Chalten. We are vegetarians and food was very good.

4.00The excursion is great, you will be able to enjoy the Chalten and understand the different landscapes. And if you are lucky to see the Chaltén mountain (Fitz Roy). Take into account that it is a long trip (11-12 hours).
Amazing experience!

5.00We had such an amazing day! We went with our family including 3 adults in our 30s and 2 senior adults (75-80 but with pretty good mobility). I was initially worried the seniors would have trouble on the hikes but the guides were super helpful in ensuring everyone was safe and comfortable. One of our senior group members decided to sit one of the hikes out and they had a great spot for her to stay until the group returned so she could still enjoy the mountains. The other decided to come but needed a little extra attention and was well looked after and we were so proud of her for being able to do it! It was a day we will remember for a long time.
Great team

5.00Our guide Sandra was amazing. The driver was very "efficient" without being too speedy, which was perfect as it's a long drive to El Chaltén. Be warned you wait for ~2 hours in El Chaltén for other independent hikers to return for the bus. But we had some nice ice cream and got to know our fellow travelers so it wasn't a problem
too long for too little

3.00Too long of a trip for a one hour mountain hike, no worth it. Tour was not completely in English was done in both Spanish and English making it confusing and overwhelmed.
We were taken to two...

5.00We were taken to two Chalten treks. One was a waterfall, and the other one was the Condor viewpoint. Then we were given some free time in the city. Unfortunately that time wasn't enough to do any of the treks so we had to mostly loiter around the city. If I were to do this again, I'd definitely take the free self-guided option.
Best Value Experience in 2 Weeks!!

5.00The day began with a smooth hotel pickup aboard a large off-road style bus—super comfortable, with tons of leg room and elevated seating that made the long 260 km drive incredibly scenic. We had a few photo and washroom stops along the way, and the views of Cerro Fitz Roy and the surrounding glaciers were absolutely stunning. A short hike to the Chorrillo del Salto waterfall was a real highlight; the falls were beautiful and an easy walk for everyone. Once in El Chaltén, we enjoyed plenty of free time to relax, explore the town, grab lunch, or simply soak in the mountain scenery. Our guide, Sandra, and our driver, Ricardo, were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire long day. Their professionalism made the experience both safe and memorable. Highly recommend this full-day adventure if you’re looking to experience the best of El Chaltén without the stress of planning or driving.
Fitz-Roy, with superb views of Erchanten

5.00Comfortable bus ride to El Chanten and hike to the hills with Fitz-Roy views, nearby famous waterfalls, lunch in El Chanten and free time packages. It was a satisfying journey to travel seamlessly.
Experienced guides with good knowledge of the area.

5.00A great day. Guide was excellent and showed knowledge. The lunch food was not so good and was poor quality. I would skip this if knew ahead of time. Another photo opportunity would have been appreciated.
