I had a wonderful trip and would do it again in a heartbeat! Eva helped me plan everything and was always available before and during my trip to answer questions. She tailored accommodations and travel times within the country to make my visit relaxed and enjoyable at the same time. I felt a sincere desire in her to provide me with the best experience. I also appreciated the driver they chose for me, Eduardo. He was not only trustworthy but also very knowledgeable about the area highlights and history. I would highly recommend Argentina Pura and Eva to anyone who would like to visit Argentina.
It has been a positive experience working with Argentina Pura from the first engagement when I filled the form on their website till the time we’ve returned back home. They were quick to respond and helped to tailor a well planned trip. It was challenging to include all the destinations I asked for in the time we had for the trip, and yet they managed to do it in the most efficient and enjoyable way. What was more amazing was how smoothly everything ran. All the flights were on time, the transfers, the excursions. It was well organized and the team was highly professional, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English extremely well. We had the most amazing time in Argentina and big part of it is thanks to the professionalism of this agency. Highly recommended!
What an amazing experience! The team put together a 3-day program for me to visit and experience the true Patagonia. Perfect organization - special thanks to Eva Echeveste for her patience and guidance - friendly staff, which made this dream of mine come true! Thank you so much!
