Fully recommended excursion! The boys pick you up at your hotel, take you in 4x4 to the top of the hill where you have 4 spectacular stretches of shooting !!! They explain everything to you from end to end and all that remains is to encourage yourself to have a good time! When we finish we go down to the cabin where we are offered homemade lunch where one feels at home. We only have words of thanks to each of them.! Moments that are never forgotten.!! If you are going to Calafate YES OR YES take this excursion! Everything is a 10!!
"¡Muchísimas gracias por tan lindas palabras! Nos llena de alegría saber que disfrutaron al máximo de la tirolesa y que se sintieron como en casa en nuestra cabaña. Para nosotros, ese almuerzo casero es el broche de oro para compartir la experiencia vivida en el cerro. Les agradecemos de corazón la recomendación; comentarios así nos motivan a seguir dando lo mejor. ¡Esperamos volver a verlos pronto en El Calafate!"
Loved this excursion- outstanding views of the lake, mountains and terrain above the city. The zip lining was really fun, added so much to the experience. The guides are amazing and looked after us so well. Finished with really tasty lunch.
"We're so glad you had such a great time! It's awesome to hear you loved the views and the zip lining. Thanks for the shout-out to our guides and our kitchen team. Hope to see you again soon!"
Highly professional and yet warm and friendly experience. The team made the ziplining a great afternoon out. My wife and I always felt safe, views were amazing (even saw condors soaring near) and the homestead afternoon tea just felt so genuine and ended the day perfectly. Thankyou so much South Road team, I highly recommend this tour.
"Thank you for your wonderful review! We pride ourselves on providing a professional yet friendly experience, and we’re happy to know that the ziplining and the homestead tea met your expectations. Seeing the condors is always a magical moment for us too. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
Nico was an amazing tour guide! All the excursions were well planned and timed. Nico is so experienced and knowledgeable about the area. The entire family really enjoyed his guidance. We highly recommend Nico and south road
"Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad to hear that Nico took great care of your family and that the timing was perfect. Thanks for choosing South Road!"
My husband & I did the hike. We had a wonderful experience with our guide. Great company with fantastic views. The lunch with wine at the end was a special treat! Not to mention - Delicious!
"We truly appreciate your feedback! It’s great to know that you enjoyed the company, the scenery, and especially the lunch. We take pride in providing those 'special treats' to make our tours memorable. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Patagonia soon!"
I made this with Tyrolese + lunch. The tyrolese is very good. About 3km in 4 exchange points to pick up another branch and go down. Lunch's kind of rough, like a lens straw with meat.
Obrigado pelo feedback! Ficamos contentes com a sua nota sobre a tirolesa. Valeu pela visita!
El Calafate Balcony Experience with Zipline was excellent. The 4x4 tour was interesting and the zip[line was exciting. The meal after was outstanding and the best we have had on any tour so far. All the guides were extremely friendly and helpful.
What a pleasure to have you with us! So happy the zipline and the meal were highlights of your trip. We'll make sure to share your compliments with the whole crew. Thanks for choosing us!
A fantastic experience with a brilliant guide (Ezekiel) and driver. We did the 4x4 trip and it was the best way to see the lake and town from up high and learn a lot about the wildlife, geography and people!
"We are so glad you enjoyed the 4x4 trip! It really is the best way to get those unique views and learn about our local wildlife and geography. Thank you for highlighting Ezekiel's work—we are very proud of our team. Safe travels and we hope to welcome you back soon!"
Very enjoyable tour. Gave us enough time to explore at each Balcony. Wonderful view from atop! The snacks at the farm was a good way to end the tour.
"We are happy to hear you had an enjoyable experience! 🏔️ It’s great that you liked the panoramic views and our farm stop. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing us to explore this wonderful landscape!"
The ziplining was efficient, friendly & seemed safe & well done. The guides & instructions were very good. The lunch was a bit disappointing. It eas adequate- and empanada, fairly tasteless lentil soup with a few small pieces of meat & an ordinary brownie with a scoop of icecream. There was also wine & orange cordial, but no tea or coffee.
"Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy you enjoyed the ziplining and felt safe with our guides. We also appreciate your notes on the lunch; we’re always working to refine our menu and will definitely consider your suggestions about the food and hot drinks for future tours. Best regards!"
