Because we are the only Local Company specialized in Outdoor activities, we have the best local guides, and we work with premium equipment to provide our costumers a pleasant and safe trip. |

There are people from our land, highly trained in Flora, Fauna, Geology, Glaciology, First Aids, Mountaineering and Kayaking. If you want more information please check in "Staff". |
In our expeditions we provide the food service (Breakfast- Lunch- Dinner). We believe that the food is a key point in an expedition, that's why we prepare the menus in detail, worrying especially for the nutritious requirements in the mountain and the preferences of each participant. Every time it is available and if the schedule allows it we use fresh local products, fish, meat, vegetables.. |
We offer two options: Our company counts with High-tech equipment (Mountain Hard Wear- Mammut among others) for the most advanced programs: climbing, mountaineering. Or the costumers can bring their own material. |
No in the regular (October to April).However, in some of the programs there are visits to valleys over 600 mts. high and there is the possibility of snow between 10 to 30 cms. |
You do not need a high training, we recommend an exercise program at least 4 weeks before the excursion. Cycling or jogging twice or three times a week, walking in the mountain with a filled backpack, going up and down your building stairs with some weight on your back are a good way of improving the aerobic capacity. Or go to the gym to fortify the legs mainly. |
