Who We Are
We are Huemul en Ruta, a team of local guides with deep roots in Villa Cerro Castillo. We know every valley, every wind, and every shelter in Cerro Castillo National Park. Our commitment is to take you to experiences that few travelers get to live: from full-day hikes to 4-day remote traverses, always with the highest standards of safety and minimal environmental impact.

"First time at Cerro Castillo — we did guided tours with Kari and Claudio and it was the best decision we made. We had an amazing time and got to see stunning places (Laguna Castillo and Laguna Duff). Super attentive, friendly and very patient! If we come back we'll definitely book with them again!"

"Excellent agency and guide. Super professional, personalized, very patient and great energy. She pushed me when I thought I couldn't go on. We learned so much about the environment: flora, fauna, climate, names of lakes, rivers and mountains. I'm leaving happy. I 100% recommend trusting the team at Huemul en Ruta."
