The tour operator was in touch with us separately earlier, could have reminded us that we need to take lunch. Same situation was for other people - they didn’t even know about it. Also be careful when reading the details here as the transportation is not included - we realized it only when tour operator sent a message on WhatsApp a day in advance.

(Juan Carlos was also super helpful and communicative throughout the booking process). From the moment Camila picked us up at our hotel, she was kind, professional, and helpful, offering tips on how to approach certain parts of the hike, proper form for heading back down, and other information about Bariloche. At the top, she gave us some great sandwiches, sweet treats, and mate. When we finished…”
