Jaron
The guide did the absolute minimum he could possibly do. The food provided was definitely not enough for what we were doing. This was already a fast itinerary and he cut it short by two more days. It made it extremely dangerous for us as clients. 2 of the 5 of us had to get flown off the mountain by helicopter due to edema because we didn’t acclimate properly. The guide then lied on social media and claimed 100% success to the summit. He really is a snake. He only cared about cutting everything and doing it as cheap as possible, most likely just to make a few more bucks. If this was a service offered in the U.S., there would’ve been a lawsuit. He should never guide this trip ever again for the pure safety of the clients.

Facu is a very skilled gide and has a lot of knowledge about the area and history of Terra del fuego. And he also is just a very nice guy, who would do his best to give you the best experience you can have in the mountains.

We had a wonderful time on this hike, especially thanks to Facundo. He was amazing - easily 5 stars! I should start by saying we are not very experienced hikers but he made it a lot easier on us. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the area itself and the history of the region. There were no problems with communication as his English is excellent (he also speaks Portuguese). Prior to going he provided a detailed list of supplies that would be needed and provided the items we lacked such as crampons and hiking poles. He even brought lunch (and snacks) which was a welcome reward for making it to the glacier! He was considerate of us with both the pacing and the route. We can’t say enough just how much fun we had and would 100% recommend Facundo to anyone considering a guide. Ojo Del Albino was the highlight of our trip to Ushuaia. THANK YOU Facundo for making this experience so enjoyable!
