Enjoyable day out including a grilled lunch. Picked up at our hotel by our guide Cristian and we were then joined by three other people in town before our trek. While a bit discouraged by a gray day that became rainy, the sky cleared and we were treated to a pleasant windy day and amazing natural scenery. Cristian was always mindfull of the group's comfort and had a wealth of knowledge of the area throughout. The off-road portion of the trip offered beautiful views and quite a few opportunities for some light hiking. Lunch was a comfortable barbecue with appetizers, wine, and dessert in a small dining hut. Of note, we were fortunate that we were five people (two couples and a single person) for the excursion. While the SUV could have fit at least one more person, we were comfortable with five passengers. One more person in the middle row would have been a bit tight.. Additionally, Cristian asked us to rotate seating for everyone’s comfort. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Rich! We are absolutely thrilled that you were able to enjoy your excursion and your day in Ushuaia, despite the unpredictable weather we're known for. You're always welcome back whenever you want to visit the End of the World again. Warm regards from the deep south!
The lakes 4x4 excursion and Natural park visit.
Thanks so much for the review, Kyriakos! We're so glad you had a great experience. We look forward to seeing you again whenever you'd like to visit!
Had an amazing 4x4 adventure in El Calafate! Chris was friendly and knowledgeable, the views were breathtaking, and the ride was comfortable and safe. A perfect way to explore Patagonia off the beaten path. Food and tea/ coffee was arranged on the way. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Sam, for sharing your experience on our Lakes Off-Road tour! You’re more than welcome to join us for your next adventure at the End of the World.
If you expect a super trekking trip, here, with all the fury, out there you will walk only a miserable kilometer. Almost all the crossing is above the 4x4, you will enjoy the landscape of the route and the forest at high speed without the possibility of taking photos almost. Only 3 stops: at the Garibaldi viewpoint, at Lake Fagnano (east) and again at Fagnano (west), every stop no more than 15 minutes. Then eaten in a hut: a minced not out of the ordinary, a piece of meat practically raw to the veneer (they never said if it was cow, lamb or what) with a couple of sliced potatoes (they were delicious) and dessert was a tiny square of bread pudding with a cream and caramel (it was good). The guide... well, he's not a guide, just a driver who was raised in Ushuaia, but don't expect much information about the fauna and flora of the places visited because they don't have much idea of that. What is rescued is that you cross hostile terrain in the middle of the forest. If you don’t like walking or taking interesting photos, it’s the ideal excursion.
Far better then I expected. I had actually driven half of the treck a few days earlier myself and the tour was still worth it. Franco was very knowledgeable in english ans answered all my questions and then some.
Spectacular with the guide Cristian we enjoyed his knowledge, love for his place and the warmth of a great host and Cheff! Exquisite and unforgettable lunch. Excellent driver. All recommended
Great and unique 4x4 off-road tour with the driver/guide Christian. Super imparting knowledge of nature, landscape and culture in excellent English.
We did the 4x4 tour to Lake Fagnano. The guides were super attentive but the reality is that the 4x4 vehicles are not at all suitable for 7 adult seats. We had to occupy the subsequent places of children, with the corresponding discomfort and lack of vision. Moreover, the promised trekking is practically non-existent, as we did not walk more than 400 meters.
