Exceptional guides, unforgettable experiences
Amazing! We went on our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for more. The guides were excellent, especially Fernando. His knowledge, friendly nature, and patience were outstanding.

Travel Review
Excellent guides, and I would highly recommend them
It met our expectations and much more. Our guides, Mauricio and Fernando, were very kind, always prioritizing safety, and highly knowledgeable about the area. They answered all our questions with enthusiasm, were great cooks, and kept us informed about what was coming next.
Comfort, breathtaking landscapes and an excellent guide!
An excellent introduction to Patagonia for older travelers who don’t speak Spanish! A stress-free trip with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We all loved Rodrigo! We were led through stunning landscapes and stayed and dined in a variety of well-chosen locations. I hope to return!
A trip that exceeded all my expectations
What an incredible trip! A fellow traveler recommended Chile Nativo, and I’m so glad they did. It was great to have every detail planned so that we could fully enjoy the trip. The guides were amazing, these guys really know what they’re doing. Their knowledge of the flora and fauna, the ease of checking in, leaving the refuges, and their great personalities made our group the best.
We started as 10 strangers and ended the trip as friends. I especially loved Nico; my daughter hurt her knee, and he was particularly helpful with her. It was so wonderful that I can’t wait to use their services again and come back!

Pioneers in construction with recycled plastic.
As part of our commitment to the environment, we have built the Riverside Camp, a unique project in the country, using 29 tons of recycled plastic transformed into eco-friendly wood.
