This tour was an incredible experience. My guide, Naher, was the consummate professional. She taught me so many interesting things about the nature of El Chalten, and led the tour at a fun and challenging pace. She was also very game to take pictures of me at various spots and was incredibly personable. I fully recommend booking a tour with her!

A super fun day!
Just book this!! 100% recommend. This is a challenging hike and Lee was an excellent guide. Patient, informative, safety first - she is quickly able to read all of our abilities and adjust the pace to our skill level. She kept us on time and we completed the entire hike. Also met some wonderful people in the small group. I honestly think I would have given up near the end had I attempted this one my own (traveling solo). Thank you, Lee. You’re the best!!

Highly recommended hike
We chose a shortened trek and did not attempt the climb to the top due to the rocky steep and unstable base. It didn’t reduce the delight in the fantastic scenery or photographic possibilities.
Our guide Paolo was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
One warning, the mosquitoes at Lago Capri were viscous.

Fabulous day out and well worth the effort
The views, the landscape, flora, fauna. But best was the guide Leandro. (Yochi?)
I really struggled with a first time knee issue on the descent. Leandro was great and made sure I got down ok. My fellow travellers were wonderful too offering assistance and help. Thank you

Only 1 person in the group
Unfortunately, I was was the only person who signed up for the tour that day. The guide was very nice so I got the chance to practice my Spanish the whole day. However, I wished a heads up that I'm gonna be the only one. Since the hike itself is not very challenging, I mainly signed up for this tour so I can hike in a group and get to know other people.
