What people are saying about Carlos
Mariia
We had a fantastic experience with Carlos on a nine-day trekking trip in Torres del Paine, combining the O-Circuit and the Oggioni Pass. Carlos is extremely experienced and deeply knowledgeable about the area, and he and his team went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Patagonia is incredibly beautiful, and this route showcased a stunning variety of landscapes and natural wonders. We can’t recommend this experience highly enough.
