Santiago was friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. He coordinated drop off of the bikes at our Airbnb in the afternoon and was super easy about picking it up from where we were at in town later in the evening. Riding the e-bikes were a great way to experience the different areas in El Calafate that would have been too much to walk. Santiago provided a map with different areas of interest which we were able to ride to. Having the e-bikes were super helpful for going uphill and on the unpaved roads. After a long day of riding, our legs felt great!

In February 2020, we had a very memorable tour of the Museo Paleontológico Ernesto Bachman, including Villa El Chocón, the dam and surrounding area. I would highly recommended this tour operator. Juan Manuel is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming. We were very lucky to have his daughter translating from Spanish to English. Great people! Great tour!

This Tour is totally unique! We take the traveler as a companion on the motorcycle ("Mototaxi" style). Or if you had a motorcycle, we will guide you through the region. It is totally new! There are no motorcycle tours of that kind in the entire region. It is a totally new way of observing nature, of living, seeing and smelling landscapes. To feel the wind, to feel the smells. To be able to feel the curves of a route or the 360 vision (towards the sides and up and down). Riding a motorcycle is living nature from the inside. This excursion has all the adventure that involves riding a motorcycle. It is totally unique. I am the pioneer of this new idea in the region and I am very happy about that.

Inclusions: Mate and Cookies, Motorcycle helmet, gloves and coat if necessary

The town of Villa el Chocón, is located 80 km from Neuquén capital. Its tourist village, on the shore of the artificial lake Exequiel Ramos Mejía, comes from the creation of an imposing hydroelectric dam, built in the 70s. This hydroelectric power plant generates electricity for a large part of the country. It is located in an area of depressions in the terrain that make this landscape surprising in each one of its panoramic points (Mirador del Lago, Cañadón Escondido, Represa). Another of the great attractions of the area is the large number of paleontological findings in the area, among which is the Giganotosaurus Carolini, the largest carnivore found so far. This is exhibited the paleontological museum Ernesto Bachmann. Also on footbridges located on the shores of the lake you can see traces of dinosaurs that were reflected in the soil of the area.

Excellent in every way! The guide at the Dino project Gabriel was very knowledgeable and passionate about the work. The tour guide, Clarissa, was very pleasent and it was good to spend time chatting with her about Argentina. We feared the meal at the winery would be expensive but it wasn't and it was very fine dining.
