Dear friends,
Here is our testimonial that we were happy to write and express our feelings. We extend our congratulations to Cecilia, Veronica and team Say Hueque for putting together a wonderful trip. We choose the 21 day Patagonian adventure plus 4 days in Rio de Janeiro for our 25th wedding anniversary. The honey moon vacation went very well thanks to the co-operating agencies along with a competent, energetic and caring Say Hueque staff. We were especially impressed with the smooth transfers, central location of all our hotels, their quality and most of all the hospitality of the Argentinean people. We covered a lot of ground and had no problems whatsoever. The sights, the people, the food were all incredible. We had five National Parks on the agenda and we managed to see them all. We walked on Perito Moreno Glacier, hiked to Mount Fitz Roy, trekked the magnificent Torres del Paine, canoed Lapatia River to the end of the world in Ushuaia, watched Patagonian’s wildlife on the Peninsula Valdes and Punta Tombo and explored the sensational Iguazu Falls. We started our journey in sunny Buenos Aires dancing Argentinean tango and finished with the samba in Rio. Sadly, the trip is over but the music will stay with us forever!
THANK YOU for a job well done.

Thank you, Julianna, Veronica and the staff of Say Hueque for arranging a great Patagonian experience for me.
Perito Moreno, El Chalten and Torres del Plaine were breathtaking - gorgeous glaciers, lakes, mountains and guanacos. El Calafate and Puerto Natales were wonderful places to stay and explore. I loved the comfortable, rustic feel of El Calafate with its beautiful views of Largo Argentina. Puerto Natales, Chile, located on a Pacific inlet surrounded by snow-capped mountains had its own special charm. Virtually everyone I encountered throughout Patagonia was friendly and helpful.
As a relatively experienced budget traveller, I haven’t used a travel agent for years - until now. I assumed that most travel agents would not be knowledgeable about or interested in booking hostels or backpacker hotels. Say Hueque was certainly the exception. You chose nice places for me to stay at very reasonable prices. You also selected excellent tours of Perito Moreno and Torres del Plaine.
Given that it was off season, I could never have made all of these travel arrangements on my own in such a timely manner. I was impressed by the fact that bus tickets were waiting for me when I arrived in El Calafate. I was also very impressed that you knew my plane was late and had the necessary travel documents I delivered to my hostel.
Other attendees from my conference in Buenos Aires who traveled far more luxuriously than myself commended you on the great job you did for them, both for their excursions after the conference concluded and the dinners, evening activities and city tour. I really enjoyed Argentinean beef and the tango lessons and show.

Hi Veronica.
I want to start by thanking you for working with Roxie Seidl and doing an excellent job with all the bookings we requested. We were very impressed with the punctuality of all our tours and the enthusiasm of all the guides we had. The hotel accommodations were wonderful…Most impressive, it was all done with a smile. My dream was to go to Iguazu falls and the experience was absolutely breath taking. I'm attaching my favorite picture.
I'll end by stating that the trip was beyond my expectations and Say Hueque and our broker in San Antonio, Roxie Seidl made this possible. I will definitely recommend your services to everyone I know.
