OUR HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY
Our journey in the mountains began in 1997, when we obtained our first professional qualification as trekking guides. Since then, we have organised and led mountain activities, expeditions and ascents in a wide range of destinations in Argentina and around the world.
In Argentina, our experience spans from Cerro Champaquí, in Córdoba Province, and Aconcagua, in Mendoza, to the diverse mountain landscapes of Patagonia, across the provinces of Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego. We have also organised and guided expeditions and ascents in Peru, Bolivia, Canada and the Alps.
We have been working in El Chaltén since 2000, which is now our operational base and one of the main areas where we operate. We are an authorised service provider within Los Glaciares National Park, and from here we organise mountain expeditions and trips to destinations throughout Argentina and abroad.
We are a mountain guiding company committed to providing professional services, with the aim of making every experience safe, rewarding and memorable.
Our motivation comes from nature and our deep admiration for the mountains. Walking, travelling through and climbing these landscapes is, for us, both a privilege and a responsibility.
We do what we do because we are passionate about it, because we have the experience and professional training required, and because we genuinely enjoy sharing the natural beauty of our country with both Argentine travellers and visitors from all over the world.
We believe our activities must always be carried out in harmony with the natural environment. That is why we are committed to preserving the places we visit and follow a strict low-impact environmental policy based on the principles of Leave No Trace: enjoying nature while leaving nothing behind but our footprints.
What sets us apart from other companies?
Our philosophy is built around three fundamental pillars:
1. SAFETY
Safety is always our number one priority. Before any objective, itinerary or ascent, the well-being of our clients and our team comes first. Without safety, we simply do not move forward.
From a day hike to a technical mountain ascent, safety guides every decision we make: from planning and route selection to assessing conditions and managing each activity.
Our guides hold professional qualifications and certifications from the Argentine Association of Mountain Guides (AAGM), an organisation affiliated with the international bodies UIAGM/IFMGA (International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations) and UIMLA (Union of International Mountain Leader Associations).
Experience, technical training and sound professional judgement are essential to managing the inherent risks of mountain activities and providing responsible and safe experiences.
