    Great driver. He maneuvered the terrain well. Unfortunately the weather didn’t allow us to see in some locations but still we had a wonderful day and learned about the forest and plants. We saw where winter activities take place. We did see some breathtaking views of the mountains and rainbow.

    excellent adventure

    our most memorable excursion yet! David was an amazing guide: friendly, courteous, and fun! The snack and lunch he made us was more than enough, and delicious. He stopped at several highlights to allow us to take photos and soak up the beautiful countryside. I would recommend for anyone who isn't afraid of a bumpy 4x4 ride, and wants to see inside Patagonia.

    Off Road Tour

    This tour was everything we hoped for in an off road experience. True 4 x 4 roads through beautiful forests to stunning lakes. Raoul was our driver and we could tell he was very experienced at 4 x 4 off roading. Lunch was delicious and very filling. There was a small issue at the beginning of the tour but Patagonia's customer service was excellent and resolved it for us. We would definitely recommend this tour.

    Excellent Day!!!

    Martin was amazing and friendly. Unique adventure. driving through the lake, going down the valley, having horseback riding and time to relax and enjoy a traditional Asada meal (grill meats). The farm and people were hospitable and kind.

    Ignacio un capo como guia y persona, muy buena experiencia, recomendable 100%, el lugar, la camioneta, la comida, todo

    Magnífico

    VALERIAINES_E, Apr 2024
    La experiencia fue completa. Nuestro guía Ignacio (de lujo) nos iba contando historia de Ushuaia por el camino, llegamos a la primer parada donde elegimos el menú del almuerzo y ahí nos empezó a nevar (ya se nos cumplía el sueño). Luego fuimos frenando para hacer fotos en el paso garibaldi, en el lago escondido donde tomamos un te o café caliente con budín. Llegamos hasta el lago fagnano pasando por una estancia de aserradero. Todo lo que fue off road fue excelente, Ignacio nos grabó video para tener de recuerdo del paso por los charcos, el barro. Mi hijo de dos años estaba fascinado! A la vuelta en el almuerzo todo excelente también, comimos cordero libre con verduras, bebida a elección y postre. Ahí pudimos conocer a los perros de trineo que tiene el dueño, quien nos explicó todo sobre ellos y pudimos conocerlos y tocarlos! (Aclaración, no los usa para trineo, sólo los cría y hace unas demostraciones en el invierno junto a otras actividades que se hacen en el lugar que es un refugio de montaña). Volvimos a Ushuaia a la hora indicada, con recomendaciones para hacer, ir a comer! Realmente super recomendable!
