Born in El Calafate · Knows Route 40 by heart

Route 40 from El Calafate to El Chaltén is one of the most breathtaking drives in Patagonia. I coordinate your departure time to match your chosen trek — if you want Laguna de los Tres, we leave before 7am. I will also point out guanacos, condors and the Fitz Roy appearing on the horizon.
