Flexible

This is Plan A and serves as an approximate itinerary. Since we offer private and personalized tours, we can adapt the route on the same day for your enjoyment and safety.

I reached out to Joaquin to plan a family trip to Patagonia, recommended by a friend who also planned their trip with Ecordua. Joaquin is very friendly and was very patient, helping me plan what initially felt like an overwhelming itinerary. We were able to coordinate everything without any issues through WhatsApp and phone calls. I appreciated the various recommendations Joaquin provided, including logistical details that helped us optimize our time there. He was also flexible with the changes we made and organized everything using an online itinerary system to keep track day by day. While we didn’t do the tour with Joaquin directly, his contacts in the Patagonia region were just as reliable and high-quality. I would recommend Ecordua’s services to anyone.
