This is scam! I’d advise everyone to avoid.
The guides won’t take you to the top laguna! They’ll opt for an alternative viewpoint where u only see the top of the towers!
The guides picked us up one hour late, started the hike after 9am!
Hugo kept telling us we’re on time during the hike. He made us hike 9km and then said we won’t go up now because it’s 1pm and the trail up closes at 2pm just with 1km left to go.
He started making up excuses but at the end of the day, we paid him to plan the hike and he failed us:
1. He knew the track is covered with snow. 2. He knew the trail closes at 2pm.
3. He didn’t allow extra time for slow people.
4. He organised big group of over 10 ppl for the $$ with no hiking gear at different fitness level.
5. He didn’t push the group once or said the trail will close at 2.
6. He started the hike so late! Other Hikers and groups were stil going up while we were turned back!
We travelled across the world to do this hike and ppl were flying out next day!
This is the worst travel experience of my life! Never had anything like that.
He didn’t offer any apology or refund! I don’t even want the refund! He just ruined what meant to be a lifetime experience! I won’t forgive him ever!
From other google reviews that I read, he’s done it to other people as well.
Please please avoid this company!
Thanks for your reply.
It seems like making excuses is a consistent pattern of your failed business model as you’ve done this to other people as well.
I had the right hiking gear. The roads had been icy for few days, hence you allowed extra time by picking us lateeeeeee.
Keep making excuses. It still is a scam!
