  As I travelled out of season Unu Raymi kindly at my request organised a guide for me for 2 days in el chalten with whom I hiked to Pliegue de Tumbado and Laguna Los Tres. I was very glad to have a guide for Pliegue de Tumbado as there were very few people there out of season (and I was a solo traveller). Luis was very patient, friendly and kind and told me lots about the nature and the park. He guided us very carefully through the snow and thanks to him I was able to enjoy a hike I wouldn't have otherwise (as the trail was totally covered with snow) and I got much more from it than just hiking by myself. We also hiked los tres together (on which there are many more people) via the rio electrico route at his suggestion which turned out to be a great idea. We enjoyed views of fitzroy from all different angles and had a fun day. He guided me carefully through the snowy areas at the top of fitzroy and taught me how to use crampons and poles (since it was my first time using these) so while many others fell on the way I was happy not to! Luis was very flexible, allowing us to choose the days with best weather and giving me great suggestions of new paths to try on the other days. For me it was perfect as I was very hesitant about hiking alone. Organisation was very smooth and easy by whatsapp and I wouldnt hesitate to use again.

  Well organized guided trekking tour. Our guides for our 3 treks were awesome! During our stay in El Chalten, we were caught in a snowstorm and roads were closed for 2 days. James and Martin helped us during these 2 days with our extended stay in the hostel and arranged transportation back to the airport. They kept us informed of the road closure status and made sure we were able to go back to the airport safely and continue our trip in Argentina. We recommend Tour Radar / Unu Raymi!!!

  The Trek with Edu was a great experience for both me and my companion. It was just us two and Edu which made for a very relaxing experience for the trip. Edu is a great guide. All the good qualities you’d hope for from a guide - patience, well informed, fun, a great cook and good company. His relaxed attitude towards guiding us helped make the trip a very enjoyable experience. Never did we feel rushed by him (and I stop to take A LOT of photos!) and he found the right balance between engaging in conversation but also allowing us our own space to chat between each other. Oh he takes great photos too! And was always happy and willing to help get good shots of us amongst the beautiful surroundings. The route it’s self was perfect for us and we were blessed with some great weather on the first day with many clear and sunny views of Mt Fitzroy while we climbed.
