I had a great experience with Vicky. She was very patient and an excellent guide. I learned so much from her on the Laguna de Los Tres hike.

This was an incredible experience. Our guide, Pablo, was great. And the eco domes were luxurious while still feeling rustic. 10/10 would recommend

We had Lucas as our guide for the Lagunas de los Tres and Laguna Torres treks. He was amazing, very friendly, informative, an expert in the area , excellent English, a joy to be with for 2 days. Thanks Lucas!

Maria was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions to set this up. Simon then followed up and completed our great experience as a guide. We really saw some incredible parts of Patagonia, there were some fairly scary moments, and some challenging parts, but Simon put us at ease with his confidence and competence as an experienced guide. He was very accommodating in his flexibility and presenting options during our hikes. He was patient, enthusiastic, told great stories, he was fun and very helpful. A truly unforgettable experience and I would 10000% recommend these guys again. Thanks for a great trip!

We had a great time with the crew at Patagonia Hikes as well as at the Eco-Domes. Everyone was super friendly and informative. The food at the eco-domes was so delicious, and they are so accommodating (I am a vegetarian)! Though we could have easily done these hikes ourselves we found it was much more enjoyable to spend the time with our guide and learn all about Patagonia, the landscape, vegetation, animals, etc. and of course, about the town of El Chalten! Thank you everyone :)
