Testimonials
We had an incredible trip on the river. For me actually it was a metamorphosis to a degree. Thank you for all your help and effort – it was one of the best times I have had in years – maybe decades even. It was like being in a dream and we all felt that way. The camp was five star! It may have just changed this ancient man’s life a bit. And Susan , of course, was ecstatic too. – Al Read, Futaleufu 2007. Founder of Geographic expeditions and Exxum mountain guides
“Great trip, and everything surpassed our expectations. 5-star camping! One of the best trips I have ever been in my life. I would not have imagined so many comforts in the middle of Patagonia! Fabulous experience!” - Craig and Kim Stevens, Futaleufu, 2002
