What people love about Patagonia Tours from San Carlos De Bariloche
Overall a pretty great experience. There are some long excursions (Torres del Paine) and the weather can be, obviously, unpredictable. But the agency is responsive and friendly. I would recommend taking flights when possible instead of the long bus rides; and I wish we had gotten to spend more time in El Chaltan. But again, overall a great experience!
Andean Patagonian Adventure (12 Nights)
- Argentina: Bariloche, Calafate & Ushuaia or Viceversa - 7 days
It was a fast tour and it was great so far. Even the activities sounds good, but unfortunately they made for every age, so you’re driving a lot and don’t walk to much. For me it was a little bit to less active. So I arranged activities by myself. And you have to make sure, that they recognise if you’re an international guest or you ending up just getting In formations and orders in Spanish.
