• 5Great excursion!!

  What a great day. The hikes and views were amazing. So beautiful. Our guide Mercedes was absolutely the best!!! She knew her stuff and attended to all of our needs. One of the best guides that I have ever had.

• 5Wonderful and Windy

  Wonderful and Windy-This tour takes all day. Be prepared for a complete spectrum of weather. We were and had a great time. There are many opportunities for spectacular photography of Fitz Roy as the clouds and sunlight are constantly changing. The tour is topped off with a lovely waterfall and stone hopping across a mountain stream. Our tour guide spoke Spanish and English. She was patient and generous with information while herding us through the day. We were very well served.

• 4A Good Way to See Mount Fitz Roy and El Chalten

  This turned out to be a much larger tour group than I expected. Picked up from my accommodation in a van, but soon transferred to a coach bus, with 40 tourists on board. We were offered two options for the day: 1) do a short guided hike up to a lookout offering good views of Mount Fitz Roy and the peaks nearby, followed by lunch in a local restaurant, or 2) do a longer self-guided hike to get closer to Mount Fitz Roy, with a boxed lunch. I opted for (1). The only negative was the 45,000 ARS park pass that was needed to gain access to do the hike. Expensive, considering the hike only took about one hour in total. After lunch, we drove east of town, for an easy 500 meter hike to a waterfall. Many, many tour groups doing the same, resulting in WAY too many people at the waterfall simultaneously, literally tripping over one another, and jockeying for photos. Bedlam. Think the tour companies need to get together, and arrange slot times for the waterfall, to have their groups arrive at different times.

• 5We had an amazing...

  We had an amazing experience on the Full Day El Chalten trip from El Calafate. We were lucky to be just our family of 4 on the bus and it was like a ‘custom’ tour. The tour was managed by Al Patagonia Travel and Tourism. Our guide Daniela was awesome. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable, nature lover and very good with English. We learned and discussed a lot about the area, landscape, animals, trees, plants, birds and flowers on our way. She even walked with us to the Condor Viewpoint at Chorrillo del Salto. The trip was really good. We enjoyed the landscape, lakes and rivers and mountain views in the distance. We saw some guanacos, condors and other animals. The stop at Parador La Leona was quaint and enjoyable. The landscape and waterfall at Chorrillo del Salto were amazing. The walk up the hill to the Condor Viewpoint was pleasant with breathtaking views of El Chalten, the awesome landscape and Fitz Roy and other mountain peaks in the distance. Being able to see some condors flying around from the top was awesome. El Chalten was a small town to walk through with nice streets, houses, restaurants, ice cream and other shops and great views. The whole trip was very much worth it and we enjoyed every bit of it.

• 3Find a different tour operator.

  Was not impressed with tour guide. Signed up for English speaking guide but she did both languages plus a speech tick which made it very fatiguing to listen too. I had to drown her out as to not have a massive headache.

About El Calafate

El Calafate is a small Patagonian town on the shore of Lago Argentino, the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park.

El Calafate lies on the south shore of Lago Argentino, a milky turquoise lake fed by glacial meltwater, with the Andes on the western horizon. The town is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with dark berries, and a local saying promises that anyone who eats them will return to Patagonia. It was founded in the 1920s to serve the surrounding sheep estancias and now exists chiefly as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
