South America Trekking and Hiking Reviews

Based on 832 customer reviews

Best trip ever!!

5 - Excellent

Shannon Patty

“We had a wonderful time! Everything has gone smoothly, and I know that’s due to YOUR efforts. Calafate was COLD and amazing. Our guides (especially Macarana at Estacia Cristina) were all excellent, attentive and knowledgable. Our Iguazu experience was AMAZING, thanks to the team who has so much experience leading people through crowds of tourists that she made our experience very special and personal. And finally, our evening at THE ARGENTINA EXPERIENCE was the perfect finish to our time here in your country. Also, the food was EXCELLENT! I would recommend this evening to anyone. Regarding our accommodations, we were very pleased with the hotels and their locations. Most of the locations were right in the middle of town or a very short walk to places for excellent meals.”

Loved the trip!!

5 - Excellent

Edward Smith

“The highlights of our trip were hiking in El Chalten and Perito Moreno. Our favourite excursion was Perito Moreno. All hotels were good but if I had to choose my favourite, it would be Estancia Cristina - cozy and warm interior & Nibepo Aike - immaculately clean and cozy as well. Thank you for all your efforts to make our trip so enjoyable!”

Highly Recommended

5 - Excellent

Michael R. Cowan

“We want to thank you very much for all your hard work, guidance and patience in making our first visit to your beautiful country so special. We had an amazing time everywhere we went and have already recommended you”
