Perito Moreno Glacier

Reviewed By mattontwowheels - Stirling, United Kingdom

The glacier is breathtaking and is well worth the excursion from El Calafate, particularly on an organised tour with an experienced guide who can offer insights into the nature and geography of the park.

Cerro Tronador

Reviewed By globaltrotter_carol - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

I did a two day hike. Started the hike in pampa Linda. The rood to the starting point is only open in the morning, to go to pampa Linda in the afternoon you can only leave this rood. Narrow rood. In the bezinning the hike is easy. After a few km you started climing. It is 15 km to refugio Roca were you can stay for the night. Naar the refugio you can walk to the waterfalls. They are nice. Large refugio. They serve dinner and you can buy a Packed lunch. If you continue thuis hike you will decent rapidly. You will hear the whole time ICE Breaking from the glacier. Really cool. I think you will see 3/4 glaciers, i think it has in Total 8 glaciers but you cannot see them all. After 3/4 km you walk in the woods. Kind of hard lost of trees on the Path. Not an easy hike. I think most of the people need 5 a 6 hours for the 12 km. Really muddy. The last 2 km are easy. Around 4 you have to take a boot then a bus for 3=km and then an other boot and you will arrive hear llao llao. This part is really good organized. When you have bought your boot ticket , boot can be late the rest is smootly. They take care of your backpack in the harbor of llao llao you get it back. Take a warm jacket with you can be a bit cold on board.

Peninsula Valdes

Reviewed By IcyPlayz - Silver Spring, United States

We had a great tour guide with animal bones and other examples.We saw whales, sea lions, guanacos, sea elephants, mara, and sheep. We used Bottazzi tours. Since we were 5 people, we were given our own vehicle and guide. The boat ride was amazing. We saw many whales in groups since it is mating season. Unforgettable!

Parque Nahuelito

Parque Nahuelito is a dinosaur theme park with over 30 life-size and scale replicas, made with unbelievable realism.

Reviewed By 587myrnac - San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina

Funny for children, interesting for adults. In the middle of Circuito Chico, you can have a dinosaur's experience, many of them are from argentina. You can see them in their real high in the Patagonian forest with an excellent guide. Highly recommended!

Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego

Reviewed By TravelWarrior200 - Pasadena, United States

I stayed two nights at Los Cauquennes Hotel before a ten day cruise to Antarctica. Did an entire day at the national park with the extraordinary services of Canal fun and Nature which provided us with an all-morning guided trek of 4 to 6 miles in the beautiful forest, then a lunch in a domed tent that they maintain, followed by a two hour canoe ride (actually inflatable rafts where that are somewhat comparable to canoes). An amazing history, a fair amount of wild life, beautiful views of the various bays, and an interesting self-paddled ride in the afternoon on one of the lakes and then rivers. Everything in the park is well organized even if you don't use a guide or similar service.

Laguna Esmeralda

Reviewed By lucysfonseca - Belo Horizonte, Brazil

We took a minivan from Ushuaia to the parking lot where the trail starts. Minivans also run the reverse sense on some scheduled time. The trail is very well marked, scenic and easy to follow. It can be very muddy depending on wheter it has rained before so it is better to wear waterproof boots. After a bit less than two hours walking in a slow pace, we reached the very beautiful Laguna Esmeralda.

Circuito Chico

Reviewed By AllenR447 - Depoe Bay, United States

We arrived in town early and picked up our rental car but our hotel wasn't going to be ready for a few hours so went on the Circuito Chico kind of by mistake. Great drive on a beautiful early Spring day. The views of the lakes and surrounding area really lets you know why this area is such a hot tourist stop. Tried stopping at the Llao Llao resort to have a look around but they didn't seem to have parking for "lookers." Probably the best stumbled upon find on this little trip was Restaurant Punto Panorámico which had some of the best food and, by far, the best view of the lake. It is a must stop.
