Memorable escape from the city - I (34 f) really enjoyed my hike up Alto del Naranjo. I’m from a sea-level city so I don’t get much opportunity to hike, but I try to keep in shape. The most challenging bit for me was the ascent due to altitude but it was totally doable by keeping a sustainable pace. There are parts that looked intimidating at first but again if you’re in shape and willing to try, you’re in for an enjoyable experience. Martin was an outstanding guide. He pointed out condors, hawks, and other birds and he had a lot of insight on the area. (He and his dogs do the trail regularly - sometime at dusk!) I could not have asked for a better companion - a massive and heartfelt thanks to Martín for helping me reach the top! Aside from the breathtaking view we also saw cows and horses. We had perfect weather. The previous reviews made me nervous about the hike down but that was a breeze. I fell on my butt twice and knee once, but nothing painful - made for a good laugh. Would totally recommend this hike and Martin to anyone who asks.

A challenging hike with amazing views. - Great trip. My guide, Frank, made sure everything went well and that we were moving at a pace I was comfortable with.
The hike is definitely a challenge but manageable if you're in good condition. And the views as you get near the top make it all worth it.
I'd definitely recommend it.

Great Hike in the Andes - This is a challenging hike in the Andes. You could see various birds including eagles as well as lots of flowers and cacti. The guide was patient and able to support an inexperienced hiker.

excellent hike with amazing views and awesome guide - Awesome hike! Our guide, Martin, was super friendly, on time, and brought everything we needed (waters, hiking poles, and snacks). He knew the hike like the back of his hand and also pointed out a few cool birds and flora. The hike going up is easy to moderate, but going down it can be moderate to difficult so just be prepared to take it slow. Highly recommend this one - amazing views the entire way. Thanks Martin!

Intense but worth it - Definitely intense and best done with proper hiking shoes. I had legs cramps while going down but Martin was extremely patient and took great care of me. Had great conversations with him along the way. Great day out.

Beautiful hike - The hike was beautiful. It is a tough hike with lots of gravel and boulders to climb but well worth the hike. Martin, our guide, was excellent. Glad we did it.

Difficult, but worth it! - I wanted to leave a review because I absolutely loved this hike, but I feel like the other reviews paint it as either too easy or too difficult. It is a challenging hike and I wish I had worn hiking boots, especially for the way down. I also wanted to mention that my friend is afraid of heights and she did not enjoy it as much as the rest of us. However, it was fun and the views at the top are absolutely astonishing. Be prepared to take the full 6 hours and if you are not a regular hiker, you will likely be a little sore later. Our guide, Martin, was awesome. He was encouraging and helpful, and made sure we safely navigated the more difficult terrain. I'm so happy we booked this tour and I was very happy that we had such an experienced guide with us! I would definitely do this again!

Puerto Chacabuco environs tou - The tour of Puerto Chaco, Buco, and the surrounding territory was beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the glaciers, the mountains, and the waterfalls. Our guide, Mariana spoke good English, but she had to read many of the informational talks. There were several people on the tour who couldn’t seem to be satisfied with any alternatives that meant the group was not very congenial. The driver was excellent. he managed to navigate very narrow and difficult roads.
