El Chalten was fabulous. The guides were wonderful, the hikes were many, varied and challenging. The food was terrific and plentiful and dining staff encouraged guests to try everything! The dining room had a lovely view. The openness of the common space was aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The room was simple with pleasing details and was very comfortable. The staff was lovely, warm and helpful. I really appreciated the availability of KT tape for joint strains and super moleskin for blisters! Read the full review

1st class guides at both locations. All treks were amazing. I think highlighting the variety of terrain available in both parks, but particularly in Los Glaciares, would be worthwhile to mention to future travellers. Read the full review
