Excellent walking tour to a beautiful lake - Sebastian our guide was excellent in every way. He was able to keep us walking at a good pace and still find time to stop and take pictures while explaining the beautiful surroundings.

The worst experience ever with this agency, 0 ethics - Terrible experience. I hired the Info Ushuaia service (I paid 104usd) where they stressed the importance of physical condition to go to Ojo del Albino. With me it was a family of 4, including a 12-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl and their parents. Halfway through, at 12:15pm, 10 minutes past Laguna Esmeralda, which is done without the need for a guide or tour, the guide stops and says that the tour has reached that point and that we will not reach the Ojo del Albino because the family with the I was not in physical condition and it would take too long and it was going to be sunset (in the summer it gets sunset at 10pm or later and it only takes 3 hours to walk). We complained that we all wanted to go up to the final destination, that that is what we had paid, but the guide refused and indicated that we had signed a document where he is the authority to decide. It was a scam! In the end I ended up going alone with other groups that did not go with a guide or tours, but the guide made me film a video saying that he and the company disclaimed responsibility if something happened to me and that I had to return the helmet and trekking pole that I had received. They were included in the tour I paid for, which was the height of inconsiderate, irresponsible and ridiculous. In the end I went up, I got to see the impressive and wonderful Ojo del Albino ALONE with this group of friends that I made and when I came back down I CATCHED THEM (it took 40 minutes). The family I was with was very upset that they couldn't get to the final destination seeing as it wasn't long before they got there. The next day I went to complain to INFO USHUAIA and they disclaimed full responsibility for the document that was signed where the guide had total authority. It was a SCAM since I ended up doing the tour ALONE!
