“We had a fabulous nine-day tour, including the two day Inca experience, Inca trail/Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain. John, our contact, met us at the airport and helped us generally acclimate to the new culture. We cannot praise Adolfo, our guide, enough for his knowledge, experience, and attentiveness to our needs. He was so fun to be with. Our driver, Edgar, was excellent. All over, a fantastic adventure.”

“Bariloche has long been on my travel bucket list, and my recent journey through the Seven Lakes region was nothing short of breathtaking. This trip was an exhilarating exploration of nature's wonders, and it left me with memories to last a lifetime. The adventure began in Bariloche, where I was welcomed by the stunning views of Lake Nahuel Huapi and the majestic Andes Mountains. The picturesque town itself had a charming alpine feel, and it was the perfect starting point for our adventure through the Seven Lakes. Each lake we visited had its unique charm and beauty, from Lake Correntoso with its mesmerizing deep blue waters to Lake Villarino, surrounded by serene forests. Each stop provided a different perspective of nature's grandeur. If you're seeking an adventure in the heart of Patagonia, I highly recommend exploring the Seven Lakes.”
Fantastic Experience!

“We cannot thank you and everyone from the team enough for the fantastic experience we had in Argentina. We will (and already have) recommended you to any of our friends looking to travel to Argentina, particularly Patagonia. All we had to do was pack and show up! It was so easy, and so much fun. There was something we loved about every hotel that we stayed at, but I think my favourite was the Cauquenes de Nimez in El Calafate... The afternoon tea, the wonderful staff, and the proximity to the wildlife reserve were the icing on the cake for this already charming and cozy place.”
