Comments Our best moments and memories of Argentina are from the trip with Federico (hiking and 4x4) and the time we spent in northern Argentina. You are missing out if you pass up an opportunity to meet Federico. He's a great, knowledgeable, fun and funny guy--in English and Spanish. Thanks, Federico! And I am happy to provide a reference at any time. Hope to see you again sometime in your part of the world. Rita in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A.10/18/2008

Comments To give fellow travellers a reference: We know Federico from a couple of smaller (one-day/two-day) excursions around NOA in September 05. They gave birth to our dream of a big "Best of the Andes" trip Argentina - Bolivia - Peru - Chile - Argentina. We turned this idea into reality in September 08, when we spent 22 days on the circuit Salta - Uyuni - Potosí - Sucre - La Paz - Titicaca - Cusco - Machu Picchu - Arequipa - Arica - Lauca - Iquique - San Pedro de Atacama - Salta (and, of course, many additional places on the way). In our opinion, Federico is a superb guide. He habitually devotes a lot of time and energy to the careful organization of all details of a trip and he anticipates really all details. His English is excellent. He is very knowledgeable; we wonder why he does not function as a professor of history, ethnology, geology, biology, etc. (or even better: all these things combined) in his spare time. He is familiar with every stone (including the best spots for taking pictures) in his quite extensive domain and, sometimes even more important, all good hotels and restaurants. In the restaurants, he knows what stands behind the items on the menu, so he can advise what to eat (the grilled guinea pig in Peru, a local speciality, was really yummy!) an which wine to drink. His cars are always in a perfect shape and he is an excellent, absolutely reliable driver (even when the driving becomes tricky, for example off-road or in the traffic chaos of La Paz). Given his patience, you can ask for as many toilet & photo stops as you may want, and given his sense of humor, you can count on many good laughs. All in all, he is the best guide we have ever had (and we are quite spoiled, having had many different guides in many different countries before). Above all, Federico is a very nice person. We were together 22 days in a row, so we know what we are talking about. Executive summary: We had a wonderful time with our friend Federico and we recommend him without restrictions as a guide. Anybody can feel free to either write (safarik@swisslegal.ch) or call (++41 61 564 0123) us, should the above reference be not convincing enough. Dr. Frantisek J. & Sasha Safarik Basel, Switzerland.

Comments Gracias Federico por Mostrarnos un NOA diferente e increíble. Fede Norte es muy probablemente el "Guía" mas sólido y conocedor del Noroeste Argentíno. Capaz de organizar hasta el minimo detalle tanto una expedición radical de "alta montaña" como una paseo familiar confortable en los mejores alojamientos. Saludos de Edu.

Comments Hola Federico, Saludos desde Donostia. Hace ya 4 años que estuvimos contigo haciendo el tour de “Alta Puna Humahuaca - Iruya” y a día de hoy tenemos todavía esos recuerdos muy presentes. Estuvimos mi mujer, yo y mis 2 primos de Rosario y la verdad es que compartir esos 3 días por esas tierras norteñas fueron una auténtica gozada. Como guía y como persona te doy un 10. Un tipo entrañable, gran conocedor de las tierras y cultura por donde nos llevabas y sobre todo como alguien que cala pronto en la gente y te hace sentir muy cómodo durante todo el viaje. Cuidando mucho ciertos detalles. Esa música de Pink Floyd al atravesar la puna…, la cancioncita “de la abuela” del lugareño de turno en la cena en Tilcara, je, je, sorprendente Iruya y su pequeña tertulia nocturna, ¡que paisajes¡ durante todo el recorrido...etc, muchos y buenos recuerdos. Como bien dices en la web, cuando terminas el viaje, parece que despides de un amigo. Nosotros repetiremos seguro. Agur – chao. Iñaki.

Comments thank you very much, my dear friend Fede, for many years of trustworthy support with your careful driving, your serious attitude vis-a-vis the complicated licences and other safety rulings in Argentina and Chile, and your frequent help regarding travel-related information! Gracias, Fede, y felicitaciones por el excelente trabajo realizado todos estos años. Muy especialmente admiro tu respeto por las reglas del juego, compitiendo en un ambiente con tantos vehículos (y conductores)'truchos' y por tanto poco seguros, así como tambien por la seguridad y el bienestar de tus clientes. Espero que todo cliente serio comprenda estas importantes diferencias. Buena suerte! Juan

Comments Hi Federico, Hope all goes well! I am delighted to comment on our wonderful trip in November 2005. Our trip to Quewar and Llullaillaco was the highlight of the year for me and I am sure for John and Kevin as well. The organization and planning was superb and you are a one terrific guide as well as a great friend. I highly recommend Federico - he is simply the best guide/friend I've encountered on six climbing trips I have taken to Mexico and South America. Salud, Fraser Perkins

It has been almost a year I went on a Transpuna expedition with Federico Norte. Well travelled as I think I am trying to experience all kinds of adventures, this trip with Federico was one of the top highlights of my whole life. Quiet and exciting, fascinating and humorous, the most wonderful scenery of the Andes and also a kind of trip into local people's lives. It has made a difference because this tour was not only alternative but different in every way. Besides, Fede is a great, generous guy! I absolutely recommend this compnay to all good people!

Comments Lieber Federico Der Transpunatreck vom 26.10-1.11.2008 war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Es fehlen mir schlicht die Worte, um beschreiben zu koennen, was wir alles erlebt haben. Es gibt, so glaube ich, nichts schoeneres als die Wunder der Natur auf diese persoenliche Art und Weise, wie du sie in deinen Programmen anbietest, zu erleben. In dieser Umgebung wird einem bewusst, wie klein und unscheinbar wir doch eigentlich sind. Ich bin dankbar, dass ich die Regionen von Tucuman, Catamarca, Jujuy und Salta in ihrer vollen Schoenheit und Dimension erleben durfte. Danke fuer unvergessliche 6 Tage!

Los lugares, los paisajes, los silencios, las palabras, los olores, los salares, el cielo, la altura, la gente, la comida, la amistad, el compartir, la risa, la música, las fotos, los personajes,todo, todo valió la pena, lo resumo con una sola palabra SUPER!!!! Gracias Fede a vos por tu compromiso, tu responsabilidad, tus cuidados, tus recomendacions y tu sensibilidad. Espero volver por esos pagos que me resultaron increíbles. Silvina.

“Nous (3 couples d’âges différents) avons passé une semaine dans le nord-ouest argentin puis dans le désert d’Atacama avec Frederico Norte. En plus de la splendeur des paysages et de la gentillesse des gens qui nous font recommander ce voyage à tous ceux qui seraient tentés de le faire,  nous aimerions recommander Frederico sans restriction à toute personne qui lira ce message. Ce qui nous a particulièrement frappé chez Frederico ce sont ses compétences touristiques, sa vaste culture, sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité de tous les instants, son adaptation à toutes les situations et à tous les gens, sa ponctualité ainsi que sa probité. De plus, et cela ne gâche rien, Frederico a beaucoup d’humour. La voiture avec la quelle nous avons voyagé était très confortable et les choix musicaux excellents. La devise de Frederico est de faire de ses clients des amis et en ce qui nous concerne le but a été atteint. Nous espérons vraiment pouvoir le recevoir à notre tour à Genève pour le remercier de tout. Si vous voulez plus d’informations, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter, adresse e-mail philippe.demoerloose@hcuge.ch ou daniel.fritschy@hcuge.ch ou stedemo(at)yahoo.com. Frederico parle évidemment l’espagnol, parle parfaitement l’anglais et a des notions de français.

6 days, 5 nights, 2000 kilometers of breathtaking roads and trails up to 4500 meters.over passes bringing you in another fantastic world, this was our program to discover a part of North-West  Argentina and Chili last July 2010.
From Salta to the Atacama desert, we have been driven by the best pilot, guide, historian, geology and geography expert, organizer and music entertainer you can imagine : Federico NORTE deserves our warmest greetings after allowing us to enjoy that superb nature. Unique landscapes under the sun or the moon, huge mountains, impressive volcanos, desertic plains and salinas. We could never refrain our enthusiasm asking Federico to stop continuously to take pictures. During  the rides in the car, he showed us vicunas and birds before bringing us to some hidden paths through which we discovered  gorgeous sceneries.
As Federico knows everybody on the trip, he can select nice hotels to stay and suggest excellent restaurants to stop. Everywhere we enjoyed friendship and warm welcome because Federico seems to be a family member everywhere.
You can trust us : this week with Norte trekking was a once a life experience and we recommend it to everybody.

Hello Federico and Jorge - Thank you so much for my Very Fabulous Atacama Desert Experience!  You are both wonderful Tour Guides - knowledgeable and entertaining, a superb combination.  Of course, you all do have a fantastic area to "show", and your on-the-spot identification and ability to answer ALL of MY questions (!) was impressive, and added tremendously to my enjoyment of this incredibly interesting and spectacular area.
If ever NorteTrekking needs or wants a recommendation, I am the logical person to ask: I have traveled the entire world, have taken advantage of every travel adventure offered to me, and you all rank at the very top!  Thank you both again very much.
Sincerely, Judy Peterson
