Excellent Experience

Punctual professional (Rubén), naturally cordial, helpful and knowledgeable of the region. Great experience as a guide on the balcony tour, counting on a well-suited vehicle. Professionalism also before the owners of particular areas of access to the tourist spots. Mindful of details and attentive to needs. Great experience.

A Calafate Must-Do

Our ATV guide, Fernando, was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He took us to beautiful lookout, inside a natural cave, and fossil-hunting (you can look but not touch). The lunch at the estancia was delightful! Super chill and fun experience! Highly recommend!

Operator response

"Thank you so much for your recommendation! We are thrilled to hear you had such a 'super chill' and fun time with Fernando. He loves sharing his knowledge about the fossils and the caves, so he will be very happy to hear your feedback. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch at the estancia—there’s nothing like it after a great ride! Hope to see you again soon!"
