Excellent tour! Well complete and the guide Frederico always giving valuable information. I recommend.
Nice experience for all! Just note you will stay a long time inside the car travelling to the park. The stops help to get there and guides are very polite and experienced.
Excellent! We did the tour with Federico and Marcos, very professional. Beautiful places, breakfast and food in privileged places. We enjoyed the trip and the scenery. Highly recommended.
Very beautiful experience, combines history, landscapes and adventure. Postcards of incredible scenery, includes breakfast, lunch and snack. In Uspallata there is a stop. In Puente del Inca there is time to take pictures. Trecking is 45 minutes at the base of the Aconcagua with stunning views of the lagoons. The lagoons should be visited in summer because at this time they are Almost dry. Lunch is homemade and in a very cozy place. The guide Federico (mountain guide as well) and driver Marcos excellent.
The walk is long, but worth it. The landscapes are amazing and the guide, very qualified and attentive.
Beautiful experience, very attentive guide.

Gracias querido Adrián! Los esperamos nuevamente cuando deseen para disfrutar de Mendoza. Saludos, el equipo de Kahuak!
We really enjoyed the Aconcagua Experience Tour, which we did with Federico and Marcos. It was very well explained and guided us to reach the lagoon of Horcones without getting tired. It was a very nice walk. I recommend them
Muchas gracias Isabel por tan lindas palabras. Nos alegra saber que han disfrutado de Mendoza junto a nosotros. Esperamos verlos nuevamente cuando deseen. Un gran saludo, el equipo de Kahuak!
We took a full-day tour with this agency, Experience Aconcagua. I researched a lot and it was simply perfect, we walked in a group, fantastic landscapes! Most other agencies do not make such a complete tour
Muito obrigado, Marianne, pela sua mensagem! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que tiveram um dia tão agradável! Obrigado por confiar em nós! Esperamos por si para outra oportunidade!
We went with Federico as guide and Juan Pablo as driver, both excellent. The experience was very good not only for the place but for all the info and how the guide was handled throughout the excursion. Kahuak is an Enterprise that surprised me for good the professionalism and responsibility in each tour contracted and the advice provided.
