Mater Sustentable, and more specifically, Agustina from Mater, was absolutely amazing in the organization of my 23 day trip to Argentina, where I visited Calafate, Ushuaia, Salta, Cachi, Cafayate, Jujuy, Mendoza, and Buenos Aires. Agustina was professional, helpful, providing responses to questions in a timely manner. I cannot underline how much I appreciated how quickly she responded to questions/comments. She provided useful advise and worked constructively with me ensure that the final programme met my needs. Her assistance continued throughout the visit, which proved to be tremendously appreciated when dealing with a few unpredictable developments. I have no reservations recommending Mater Sustentable if you are planning a trip to beautiful Argentina. They will make your life easier and work to ensure you have a memorable vacation.
