Our family arrived in El Chaltén in 1987, just two years after its founding.
After some years where we perform as employees, and finally we settled in the town in 1989 and in 1991 we started our family business with the restaurant "La Casita".
From 2008, we started a new venture with remise service in our resort town and now we add an alternative for those seeking to know the area in a different way: the service Stays Adventure Tourism.
Our oldest son, that when it was located only a couple of years, who now carries on this venture.
