Review of Ushuaia’s Tierra del Fuego trek and canoe tour, with forest trails, dome lunch, Lapataia Bay paddling, costs, and practical tips.
“We booked this tour as it was advertised as a thrilling inflatable canoe trip followed by a medium difficulty hike with rivers, forest, sea and mountain views in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Unfortunately it was not as described. The raft was fine but our guide spoke almost constantly with his colleague for around 30 minutes and offered no useful information. He ignored questions, gave no paddling guidance and stayed mostly silent apart from chatting. We could hear the other guide sharing facts and engaging with their group while ours did nothing similar. Our raft grounded several times and when entering Lapataia Bay in strong winds we received no direction…”

“This was a great trek. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the natural environment and spoke very good English. The trek was a little more strenuous than I though, but we also had a very windy and snowy day. A great tour to really see nature and have more solitude than some of the other tours offered in the area. The pick-up was on schedule and boots provided were perfect for our trek through peat bogs, mud, rocks, etc. Really enjoyed this adventure!”

Review of Mendoza’s Cacheuta trek, three rappels, mountain views, and thermal pools, with practical advice on price, fitness, timing, and value.
“Pedro and Eros were incredible guides and made sure my daughter, husband, and I had a fantastic experience- trekking and repelling. They are super knowledgeable and kind. We learned so much from them and felt like we had a true outdoor adventure. They were so patient and even let us climb up a rock area to experience that part of the mountain too. They also let us have as much time as we wanted in the super healing thermal pools and the little town there to walk around and shop in. They even brought a gift for my husband, as it was his birthday that day. They were so thoughtful…”
