My wife and I hiked with Pablo in the Andes. It was a great and extremely memorable experience. Pablo was extremely thoughtful and professional. Traffic was challenging because of construction and we always felt safe because he was a very cautious driver. Pablo made us a delicious lunch on the top of our hiking summit at over 11,100 feet. This whole experience was outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour with Pablo to anyone. Thanks Pablo for an outstanding and memorable adventure your Alaskan Friends.

Lovely hiking trip but expensive

Marion_C, Jul 2024
Lovely hiking trip to a beautiful part of Argentina. Our guide made us a lovely lunch which we had at the top. However the trip to the mountain was over 2 hours and we would have liked if there was more conversation from our guide. It was an expensive trip and we don’t feel it was the best value.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello Marion! We are sorry that your experience with us was not satisfactory. We find it a little strange that you mention the 2-hour trip that is in the description of our service, since if one wants to go to the Andes, you must travel at least 90 km to it. On the other hand, you had a private tour, with a guide all day and transportation that covered more than 200 km and was with you for more than 8 hours. The value of the tour is in the costs that an activity like this requires. The strangest thing is that we look for your name both in the reservations and in the insurance to see which guide you got, and it doesn't appear. But well, sometimes it can happen that some people like the guide to speak more or less, we always try to have all the people who make Destino Montaña, are trained in security, are professional and cordial. We send you greetings!

We 100% recommend this tour! The hike was certainly challenging, but our guide Fernando was fantastic. His knowledge and energy/passion was incredible and the scenery was top class.

Pablo was FANTASTIC!

Fantastic Day with Vanina!

Doranne_H, Jul 2023
This hiking tour in the Andes was outstanding! Starting with the good communication and prompt pickup, through delivery at day’s end, the tour could not have been more perfect. We loved our guide Vanina: she was so friendly, patient, and knowledgeable and she planned an excellent day of photography and hiking that was tailored to our specific needs - plus a great lunch that we had mountainside. She is an amazing mountain guide who clearly has a love and passion for her work. Regarding the hike itself, it was appropriately challenging and we were able to see and feel the splendor of the Andes, especially stunning with light snowfall. Best wishes Vanina and Joaquim and Olivia! Your friends, Randy and Doranne

Amazing hike and views

Mariana_N, Sep 2022
Vanina was an amazing guide for this terrific and beautiful hike. We climbed from 10,000 ft to 12,000 feet over about 3 miles on a beautiful late winter day. She brought up a beautiful picnic for us to enjoy before heading back dow. Spectacular views, jack rabbit, guanacos and great company!!! A highlight of our travels for sure.
