The trip was wonderful. The guide Lorena was exceptional. Due to unforeseen physical limitations, we were unable to see the entire tour, so that we would not be deprived of the beauty of the park, she took us to another lake so that we could walk around it. She also prepared a snack for us. I highly recommend it!

Great hike, not very difficult. Lots of mud in the middle section so don't expect to stay clean. Guide Lorena was very pleasant and interactive with us in identifying birds and interesting plants/trees. The view at Laguna Triangle is stunning and worth the effort.
Delightful walk through the enchanted forest. Lorena is the perfect guide: knowledgable, observant and kind. Mapu Activa is a real find.
We thank our Guide Lorena who guided us on the tour to Alerce National Park. It was just wonderful!!! We made a walk of about 13km between going and going with simply magnificent landscapes. The trail was made respecting the limits of each of us and Lorena knows the place very well and was very attentive with us.
I've known him since I was 25. For business, vacation, family, casino, alone, etc. Next to Valdivia should be the most beautiful cities in Chile. It's a city I always recommend to my acquaintances.
This was a great way to see the beauty Patagonia affords: Raging rivers, lakes, forests, waterfalls, and wonderful Mountain Views in the course of a day hike. Our guide, Lorena, was great as she kept a manageable and comfortable trekking pace throughout and was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, history, and geology. A very enjoyable trek.
