Simone
Big big 5 stars, both for the trek as well as for Yanic. The trek is extremely versatile, beautiful and a bit challenging. The views are out of this world. Maybe the best part is that you hardly see other people. There is really nothing Yanic could have done better. He is super friendly, funny, relaxed. He takes great care of your safety and is super easy going, learning us a lot about Argentina but also letting you be. He made our trip completely and would recommend him anytime.
Andrés
Yanic was an excellent guide, he knows the place perfectly. I always felt safe and the meals were delicious. He also took the time to help us with the rental of the equipment we were missing. We will certainly hire him again to show us around Bariloche!

I came here at the end of Winter, so it was still snowing and the lake was unfortunately frozen with snow on top. However, the hike had amazing views with a very knowledgeable Guide. Pick up was on time and all information was given to me as needed. Highly recommend.
Andrew
Weny was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable and kept us motivated the whole time. I would definitely recommend taking this hike. It’s very challenging but worth the view of Laguna de los Tres and Fitz Roy!
