Your trip, tailor-made from start to finish

I plan the itinerary around who's coming. Traveling with someone older who needs flat places? There's a plan for that. A group that wants to reach the summit? That too. If you need a guide, I bring one in: I drive you there and pick you up afterwards.

  1. Before you travel

    Message me and I'll get back to you quickly. I'll help you plan: what to do, how many days and what suits you best, and send you the tour menu with photos, descriptions and prices.

  2. From the airport

    I pick you up at Bariloche or Esquel airport and take you to your accommodation.

  3. Day by day in the Comarca

    I plan each day around the forecast. Three free days? I'll put a package together, or you can pick from the menu day by day. I handle it all: horseback riding, rafting, paragliding, Lago Puelo National Park…

  4. Until you leave

    Late flight? We leave your lodging at 9, tour Bariloche, Colonia Suiza, the Circuito Chico, downtown and the chocolate shop, and finish at the airport.

Based in El Bolsón, the whole Comarca

My idea is that you stay in El Bolsón as many days as you can and explore the villages around it. I plan each day around the weather and what you'd like to see.

Hi, I'm Martín

I've lived in the Comarca for over 10 years and I love exploring it with my passengers. I love the mountains and go trekking whenever I can, so I can give you first-hand tips on trails and refuges. My idea is that you stay as many days as you can and discover as much as possible. There's always something left to come back for. I work with a team of drivers and a fleet of 5 vehicles: Hilux 4x4, Tracker, Duster and Oroch.

“Places are made by the people who live there.”Martín, replying to a review (translated from Spanish)

Frequently asked questions

Can you plan my whole trip?

Yes. I help you plan before you travel, pick you up at the airport and coordinate every day: tours, horseback riding, rafting, paragliding and whatever you'd like to do. If you've already booked everything, I'll add what's missing.

I'm traveling with older relatives or kids. Is that OK?

Of course. I plan the route around who's coming: for example, flat places for someone traveling with their 80-year-old mom. The vehicles are comfortable and have room for your luggage.

We don't have a car. Can you still get us around?

Yes, that's what I'm here for. I pick you up where you're staying, at Bariloche or Esquel airport, or wherever you are, and take you wherever you want.

We've never been trekking. Can we hike the Piltri?

Yes. Before you set off I'll walk you through the trail, timings and what to bring, and you choose how far to go: the Bosque Tallado, the refuge or the summit. Ask me if you need trekking poles.

What if we come down the mountain later than planned?

Message me on WhatsApp and I'll come get you. If I can't, a trusted driver from my team will, and I'll let you know who's coming: nobody gets left behind.

How many of us can come?

Ideally 1 to 8 people: on your own, as a couple or in a private group like family or friends. With 5 vehicles we take groups of up to 16 to 20.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the destination and the size of your group. Ask me for the tour menu on WhatsApp: it has photos, a description and the price of every trip.

Do you drive in snow or rain?

Rain, snow or shine, off we go. In the 4x4 we drive up in winter too. Safety always comes first: if the forecast isn't good, I'll suggest another trip for that day.

What if our plans change?

We rearrange. If you need to come back earlier or change destination, we talk it over and find another option.

How can I pay?

Mercado Pago, credit or debit card, or bank transfer.

How do I know this isn't a scam?

Search for "Martin Ortiz Travels" on Google: you'll find over 600 reviews. I'm on El Bolsón Tourism's official list of tour providers and hold a commercial license for special trips and tourism. I send you the prices in writing, in the tour menu, before you book.
