There were so many problems with this tour that it's difficult to list them all. First, this was not really a tour at all. Rather, Aborigen is a useless middle-man that provides no value. They simply book vouchers for you, and then you're on your own, unsupported. There is no tour group. My wife and I never heard from Aborigen unless we asked. For instance, there was no information provided regarding rental equipment needed, what to do with bags, weather, the necessity for guides, etc. We did not receive any details until days before the trip, after pressing for information ourselves. Second, Aborigen changed the itinerary just days before the trip started. Aborigen replaced around $1,500 (each!) worth of activities with "free days" which we could then fill (and pay for!) ourselves. Third, not only are Aborigen a useless middle-man, but they actually act against their clients' interests. For instance, we realized one day that we didn't need a $500 (yes, $500!) guide for a simple 1-day hike, so we asked Aborigen to obtain a refund from the local provider in accordance with the refund policy. Aborigen refused to answer our calls, refused flatly to refund us, told us we were out of time (we weren't), to us to "just be happy" with the services we had (we weren't), told us they had booked the hike 6 months ago (it was only 3 days prior) and ended up calling me "childish" and "unacceptable" when I refused to accept their position. It was only after I spoke to the local provider (which had no problem issuing a refund) that Aborigen agreed to my reasonable request. It bears mentioning that none of the local companies had heard of Aborigen, so that gives you an idea of their lack of status in Patagonia. Aborigen is based in Buenos Aires and is a thousand miles away. Let me be clear - we have done tours around the world, and we are easy and experienced travelers. We rarely leave negative reviews. But trust me, do not do this "tour". You will be left alone and unsupported; they will fail to price the activities properly: you will be forced to pay for your own excursions because Aborigen can't price them properly: and Aborigen will not help when you need it. They are worse than a middle-man: they will actually hinder you and get in your way. Trust us on this one. Patagonia is expensive and difficult enough as it is, so please don't associate with a company like this. The only reason we were able to salvage the "tour" is through our own determination and because of the competence of the local providers, which were mostly excellent. You're better off booking an actual tour, or booking all the items yourself at a fraction of the cost.

Great trip Excellent organization High class guides Reliable drivers Fantastic hotels

The movement around the continent was surprisingly efficiet and the Tour Coordinator had to be a genius in balancing time tables, pick up and drop off, customs, delays ( really were none) and all registrations. All we needed for check in was passports and we did not have to check in on line. Baggage was for the most part no hassle although one booking receptionist had us down as over weight and checked our bags but at no charge. All the flights were comfortable with one exception of some turbulence causing the cabin passengers to clap on landing! Now accolades to our Tour Company Aborigen Tours were fantastic coping with a CLOSED AIRPORT! Fast juggling and good results! KUDOS AND APPRECIATION. Neil Sinclair April 2024

Wonderful trip and able to see the waterfalls from both Argentina and Brazil.

We have rented 4×4 car from Hertz via Bariloche Car. The price we got was very economic. During our trip, there was an unexpected situation which required the intervention of Bariloche Car to change the rental conditions. Bariloche Car did a lot of efforts and minimzed our unexpected extra costs. I recommend Bariloche Car for car rental, and will engage with them next time.
