This day hike is once in a lifetime and a must do in Chilean Patagonia. Our guide Francesca (Fran) was a very knowledgeable guide and was with us every step of the hike. The park is really amazing and has awesome viewpoints. Fran made sure the group was staying together and also got some short breaks on the hike (because it is fairly long and takes all day). I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring and seeing one of the great parks in the world.

Only having enough time to hike 1 day I went with this group. It’s could not have been better. They come right to your door to pick you up and take you to the park. Our guides Fran and Cris couldn’t have been better as well. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, observant to peoples paces, and all around fun and interesting people to talk to which genuinely added very much to my experience.

Not much time to stop and take pictures cause we were a big group and us stopping all at the same time would have blocked the path. The guides were trying to keep us all together and going at a slow pace, so it's ideal if you are not really fit. They just made sure that everyone was getting to the top sooner or later.
