Great experience and perfect organization - We contacted the agency to help us organize a 5-day stay in Ushuaia. They presented us with several plans depending on the type of excursions we preferred and chose. The truth is that it was a success, they helped us get passes for all those excursions that not only depended on them; and on the excursions, they were very attentive every day. We did both the excursions to the emerald lagoon and the lake region, the visit to Lake Fagniano and the hidden ones. We were also in the Tierra del Fuego national park. It is worth contacting and requesting a quote, as the service and organization is excellent.

Amazing experience of Laguna Esmeralda - Our tour with Nicolas was simply amazing! He is such a knowledgeable guide, and it was great just to talk to him about the city of Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego. Our group was only two people, which made a private tour perfect. The scenery for the hike is beautiful, and Laguna Esmeralda is just breathtaking. The hike itself is not particularly difficult either; there is one area that is a little steep, but most people should be able to tolerate it without problems. Once we arrived at the lake, we were able to enjoy some delicious alfajores and mate that Nicolas brought along. Luckily we arrived fairly early before the big crowds. After our hike (about 5 hours total), Nicolas took us to have lunch at a place that had the absolute best roasted lamb I've ever tasted. Not to mention the views at the restaurant were incredible as well. We followed lunch with more driving to the lakes region, including another relaxing stop at Fagnano before returning to our hotel. Overall, the tour was amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend Nicolas as a guide!

An excellent tour guide. Everything have met our expectations - We can highly recommend the local tour operator in Ushuaia, namely Alma Calma, and in particular Nicolas, our tour guide

An unforgettable day! - We had an amazing time with Nicolas! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating in organizing a perfect day trip for us. He guided us through some of the most beautiful and breathtaking terrain, yet made sure that the paths we took were safe. He provided us with snacks along the way and taught us how to make mate, which was a fun and memorable experience. And the BBQ lamb lunch that Nicolas arranged for us was one the best meals we had in Argentina. I highly recommend Nicolas and Alma Calma Patagonia for a truly unforgettable Patagonia experience.
