Great excursion, when we can we will return. - It was all 10 points. Fabián, the driver and guide, was pleasant and had a great sense of humor. It took him a while to pick us up but it's understandable, we were the last. The landscapes and the hill are spectacular.

A great trip with Juan Carlos! - I have just returned from a great trip to Cerro Tronador with Natural Travels which was lead by Juan Carlos. Could you please pass on my gratitude to him as his tour was very informative, interesting and a lot of fun!
I understood whilst booking that it was in fact a Spanish speaking tour, however since there were a few English speakers on the tour, Juan went the extra mile to translate key pieces of information to us in English, even though we didn't ask him to do this. I also understand that it is customary to pay extra for an English speaking guide with other tours during booking, so this was a bonus-many thanks.
A very enjoyable tour, many thanks Juan Carlos and Natural Travel!
