    The trip was very well organised. I was kind of late with booking two weeks before the departure, but the operators were really quick to respond and did a really good job. I really appreciate that. The tours itself were great! The guides were perfectly informed and super friendly. Especially the last tour with Dani was unique! As we were alone, we decided to adapt the tours a little bit to see more places. It was a bit longer than planned, but totally worth it! Dani teached me a lot about the area of El Chaltén. I wished I had more time to stay with her and do more tours. You could really sense that she loves the place a lot. I really enjoyed our time and I can highly recommend to visit both places, Calafate and El Chaltén. However, for the latter one, I would suggest to stay a bit longer than three days.

    The camping part wasn't enjoyable. Right by railway line to Machu Pichu so very noisy and 2nd night only 1-2 km out of town so could have stayed in hotel. 3rd night we were up at 3.30am (4th day) and trekked on a goat track along the side of a mountain with a little torch to catch a bus to go back to Ollytantambo to get the train so 3rd day awatste of time as nothing to really see. Also having someone pick you up from the airport, some else be your guide and still some else take you back or the airport. Each person had no idea about any other part of the journey which was frustrating when there were things you wanted to know. Also the intinerary said repack for the Amazon. What does that mean. No one to ask so had to wait till we arrived to find out what that meant. Could say many more things about mainly the Perivan leg but will just say wouldn't recommend this company for this tour.
