Great trip to see Aconcagua - A great trip which allowed us to see Aconcagua and several other interesting places. Our guide Federico was very informative and easy to understand in Spanish and English. Our driver Juan Pablo did a great job especially on the dusty road to the monument!

Great day in the Andes - Very much enjoyed the tour, the scenery is spectacular but is was made by Federico our guide who was brilliant with excellent insights and knowledge of the fascinating history and geography of the area. There was no question he couldnât answer plus he was extremely well organised. Mauro the driver deserves an honourable mention for all his hard work. It is a long day and I have to admit I struggled with heights of the road to Christ the Redeemer but its all worth it.

Driving to the Sky - Highly recommend. Great way the tour the Andes. Frederico did a great job speaking English and letting us know what was being viewed. Great personality. Juan was a skillful bus driver, especially when driving up the mountain to see Christ the Redeemer on the border of Chili. Worth every dime. Tip well, they deserve it.

Wonderful mountain tour - We had a wonderful day of traveling to the Andes. Rocio our guide and Matias our driver were fantastic. Rocio was very informative and aware of safety precautions and weather changes. Be prepared for some steep roads to get to one stop but Matias handled well. The views were amazing and it was so unique to be able to see Aconcagua. We even went to a spot where we stepped on Chile territory. We went in February and the weather was pleasant. We needed a light jacket at our last stop. It was quite windy. The option for lunch was efficient and tasty. Simple fare but well prepared. Donât miss the Alfaroâs at Entre Dos near the restaurant.
