“I had an amazing time on the Perito Moreno Glacier trekking tour! The weather was beautiful for most of the day, with just a little light rain here and there—nothing that took away from the experience. The glacier itself is absolutely breathtaking, and getting to walk on it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and fun, and the entire staff was warm, organized, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. From the boat ride to the trek and all the little details in between, everything was well-run and exceeded my expectations. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting El Calafate. Truly a 10/10…”

3.El Chaltén with Trekking from El Calafate

“I had been unsure whether to do this trip based on other reviews. It was a really good day out and I'm glad I did it. The guides were great. Saw a condor flying, lots of guanacos, and the weather gave good views of Mt Fitz Roy. But, equally, if you're short on time, don't feel you've missed too much by skipping it - prioritise the glacier(s) first.”

“We booked this tour as it was advertised as a thrilling inflatable canoe trip followed by a medium difficulty hike with rivers, forest, sea and mountain views in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Unfortunately it was not as described. The raft was fine but our guide spoke almost constantly with his colleague for around 30 minutes and offered no useful information. He ignored questions, gave no paddling guidance and stayed mostly silent apart from chatting. We could hear the other guide sharing facts and engaging with their group while ours did nothing similar. Our raft grounded several times and when entering Lapataia Bay in strong winds we received no direction…”
