Macarena Colla

My biggest passion is traveling and I consider myself lucky to be able to incorporate it in my daily work. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, I have been traveling all around my country since a very young age. My experiences have provided me with extensive knowledge regarding both trip creation and the local destination. I would love to help you create the journey of your dreams, and are ready to guide you through every step of the way!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Since I've traveled a lot around South America, I can recommend the best activities and places to visit according to your travel profile. I specialize in organizing multi-destination trips in Argentina and its neighboring countries, either connecting by air or land. I recommend domestic/regional flights for long distances and buses for the shortest ones. There are no good trains unfortunately in South America."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I have always been a nature lover and loved getting involved with different cultures. I knew traveling was my passion and decided to make a profession out of it by helping people planning their trips! Not only from a professional point of view but also giving advice from my own experience. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Iguazu has always been my favorite destination in my lovely country. The first time I visited the waterfalls, I was not expecting to find such a magnificent landscape. Not only did the immensity of the falls catch my attention, but also everything that surrounds them like the deep sounds of the falls, nature, wildlife, and rainbows."

Macarena was professional, flexible and responsive. Quick follow up is very important to me when planning a trip.
Her suggestions made my trip special: cooking class, wine tour and Termed hot springs I would not have found.

I loved the visit to Iguazu falls from both Brazil and Argentina sides and the Tango night show which introduced me to Argentinian culture. The tour guides Gustavo and Maria on the Iguazu trip were phenomenal. Muchas Gracias

Macarena did a wonderful job of working with us to get our trip to Buenos Aires and Ushuaia just perfect for our family. While we enjoy taking tours, we like to have free time to wander.

Macarena did a wonderful job of working with us to get our trip to Buenos Aires and Ushuaia just perfect for our family. While we enjoy taking tours, we like to have free time to wander. Macarena was able to give us the perfect amount of both.

Each day we had some free time to wander, or relax from our tours. We thoroughly enjoyed Laura on our BA and Tigre tours. She was informative, helpful, and delightful to spend time with. Highly recommend her.

While we would have never booked the Argentine Cooking experience or the Tango lesson and dinner, we were so happy Macarena put those in for us. It was great dining with travelers from around the globe, learning about the culture, food, mate, tango, etc. So happy they were included in our itinerary.

And while it was fun exploring BA, we thoroughly enjoyed being in Ushuaia. What a fabulous place. The highlight of our trip was the penguin boating adventure. The weather was absolutely perfect and it was wonderful seeing the landscape of Argentina and Chile.

The tour of Tiera del fuego park was great fun. And we were glad to have a personal guide. She was great! So informative, accommodating and professional. Felt like we really clicked with her.

We loved the Arakur Spa and Resort. Sitting and looking out the windows at the bay and town below was wonderful. Each afternoon we would go to the pool area and hang out. It was great fun being outdoors with the wind blowing, but warm in the pool.

There were some issues with Arakur, though. We were in Ushaia while it was very warm, and the AC did not seem to work in any of our rooms. We kept asking about it, but they told us "it is very slow." I would have preferred them to tell us "we really don't have AC, so it is best to open the windows," which we did open the windows.

Also, we ate at the lobby bar each day for lunch and service was extremely slow. I understand relaxing and not being rushed, but the service was terribly slow. Food at the lobby bar, restaurant and New Year's Eve gala was fabulous!!!

The new year's eve party was loads of fun. A great way to start the new year and decade.

Additionally, Macarena was on vacation during our trip, so Ludi stepped in and made sure we had everything we needed once we arrived in Argentina. The change from one agent to the next was seamless.

Highly recommend both!
Great time!
