Questions

What time do we leave for sunrise at Laguna de los Tres?

Before dawn, depending on sunrise that day. The guide tells you the night before and picks you up.

Is the guide just for us?

Yes. On all three days it is only you and your guide, at your pace.

What if that day is cloudy?

We watch the forecast and, if another day of the trip looks better, we swap the order.

Can the order of the days change?

Yes. We arrange it around the forecast: if a day looks very windy, we move the big hike to the best day.

What if I travel alone?

You can: the room is yours and so is the guide. The price is in the table, under "Travelling alone".

Are the hikes in a group?

No: on this package the guide walks only with you.

How fit do I need to be?

Able to walk 6 to 8 hours in a day, with climbs. No mountain experience needed. If in doubt, write to us and we will look at it.

Which hotel will I stay at?

A hotel of the package’s category, in town, with breakfast. We confirm which one when you book, depending on availability for your dates.

How do I pay?

A deposit to confirm and the rest before the trip, in dollars or pesos. We send you the details on WhatsApp.
