About Us
“Dame La Guita!” — slang in Argentina for “Give me the cash!”
Originally beginning as a joke between two friends — one an Argentinian chef and the other a Yosemite backpacker — as a friendly way to communicate, the words took on a new meaning when their skills were combined to create La Guita, the real currency when hiking in the backcountry: a natural, high-quality hiking meal.
Since then, taste has propelled La Guita into the backpacks of travelers from around the world.

As a former backpacking guide and avid backpacker / mountaineer that has tried all varieties of freeze dried food, I can say that La Guita lands the perfect balance of weight to taste. Far better than Mountain House, Backpacker’s Pantry, etc. and easy to prepare.

I had the La Guita oatmeal and vegetarian chili and it was super flavorful and super filling. Good food is so important for a good backpacking experience and La Guita gave me that. 🙂

We recently hit the trails in Yosemite with La Guita and let me tell you, it was a tasty ride. The packaging was lightweight and compact, perfect for a hiking pack. And the flavors…I felt like I was on a culinary adventure with every bite.

Backcountry hiking and quality meals rarely go hand-in-hand. Most of the time we are starving with bagged tuna. Now we have better food and a better experience. Thanks, La Guita!

To be honest I never gave much thought to the taste of my food in the backcountry; I was always too hungry to really care and figured bland food was just part of the gig. But I had no idea what I was missing out on until I had La Guita. I will not go on another trip without it!

We wanted a lighter pack for our weekend hike and stumbled across La Guita. Best camping food ever! We will do more as we continue our hikes. Keep up the good work!

It tastes so good, like a home-cooked meal you will forget that you’re camping!! My favorite is the mountain chili. It has some spicy kick to it which I love.

La Guita is the best option for the backcountry. I was impressed by the taste, and I especially loved sharing it with others so they knew what they were missing out on! Definitely a must, and you’ll be happy you did.
