Argentina is a culturally rich and geographically diverse country. The team provided a very valuable and supportive service for our travel! The hotels were very unique to the areas and we enjoyed the different character that each had. The excursions were all rewarding and each so unique. Guides also each had their own strengths. Mendoza was our favourite destination, the trip up to Aconcagua was very fulfilling seeing local industry, communities and natural sights. We are very pleased with the services - great hotels, tours and guides. Drivers on time and professional and all very helpful.
Hi Marcela, I identified this tour organizer from an internet search for Patagonia Tours. I then read some of the positive ratings from other travelers. I decided to book through it because of a) positive reviews from other travellers; b) the itinerary that you offered suited what I wanted; and c) I liked the idea of being reasonably independent and not having too much organised or being part of a week long tour. There were probably a number of highlights. In terms of the actual arrangements, the ease of having most of my travel and hotel bookings completed without having to concern myself with them was a highlight. In terms of the actual trip, I really enjoyed the hiking at El Chalten and the one day that I hiked to Mt Fitz Roy was the highlight for me. The hotel in El Calafate (Kau Yatun) was the best one of the trip. Very comfortable, good service, good restaurant and nice location. As mentioned above, it was not an excursion, but the hiking in El Chalten was my favourite. However, at El Calafate, I booked an additional excursion to Estancia Christina on my one free day, and that excursion was great.The guides were all good. I think the guide from El Calafate who did the Perito Moreno glacier tour - I think her name was Danielle - was great, very friendly, helpful and professional.
Had the most wonderful weather and the views are stunningly beautiful beyond words! Most enjoyable hikes in both TDP and Fitz Roy areas as expected. Estancia El Condor is a little gem and a nice way to end the trip.
