Once we have arrived at the terminal of the Solo Patagonia shipping company, there is a lot of activity and dense crowds of people are packed together. First we have to exchange our purchased voucher for boat tickets and afterwards we have to sit down again to pay the entrance to Los Glaciares National Park (800 Argentine Peso per person). At the stroke of 9:00 am the chock-full boat leaves under a bright blue sky for a magnificent trip on the clear and ice-cold water of Lago Argentino. Once we reach full speed, a strong fresh wind can be felt and only the die-hard fans with their thick coat (us!) Remain on deck. We sail along beautiful rugged landscapes with snowy mountain peaks. We can really look at this for hours! After a while we reach a part of the lake where there are huge ice floes that broke off the Upsala glacier. Most blocks of the Upsala glacier have a typical blue color that glows even brighter in the sunlight. We stop for a while at different ice blocks so that everyone has enough opportunity to take the ultimate photo. Then we continue the trip from the Upsala glacier to the impressive Spegazzini glacier where we also get enough time to shoot the necessary fabulous pictures. When we start the return trip to Punta Bandera and take a last look at the Spegazzini glacier from the aft deck, we just see a large ice block breaking off the Spegazzini glacier and splashing into the water. What a wonderful end to this wonderful boat trip to the Upsala and Spegazzini glacier.

I did the full trip from chaltan to Ushuaia. It’s a great tour and I had an amazing time. I booked through Argentina discovery but I believe the actual company which runs the tour is Camino abierto. In my group everyone had booked through different companies. Ana who works for Argentina discovery was very helpful. She always replied to my emails promptly. Even when my payment didn’t go and I had to do the transfer just before I left she was very calm and understanding about it. The phone number on their website isn’t correct but the one on Tripadvisor is correct so use that.

Be sure to book only with Piratours - ideally directly at their office in the centre of Ushuaia. We had a terrible experience with cancellation of our trip (booked here!) via Grey Line - despite paying in full for a trip on a date shown online here as available. Luckily, that was not the fault of the actual operator Piratour and they were able to fit us in when we went there in person. However, although quite expensive, it was well worth the experience and the tour is respectful of nature & the environment.

My family spent 10 days in Argentina (5 of them in Patagonia) and our day trek to Laguna de los Tres with Pedro was by far our favorite experience and day. Pedro spent 10 hours with us and became like a friend by the end of the day. He is so passionate about Patagonia and hiking and incredibly knowledgable. His enthusiasm is contagious and made the very difficult hike so much fun and enjoyable. He was very patient with us as we aren't experienced hikers and always set the right expectations for what lied ahead, helping us take breaks at the right points and carving out the best path during the rocky uphill and downward climbs where the rocks are very loose. I fell on the way down and he was so caring and attentive to me to make sure I wasn't hurt. We really felt like we were in great hands. The hike itself is very hard but 10000% worth it to get the beautiful views of Laguna de los Tres. We were lucky and had a sunny/warm day with no winds. I couldn't imagine doing it in the rain and wind. Out of all the guides we had in Argentina, Pedro was by far the best!

This six day Patagonia hiking holiday explores the best of this dramatic region. You’ll be based for five nights in the town of El Calafate, the gateway to the region. The first few days are all about glaciers. You’ll spend the bulk of your time at the Perito Moreno glacier, which sits in Los Glaciares National Park.

More glacial action comes in the form of a boat trip to Upsala Glacier, where you’ll sail past icebergs and snow covered peaks, as well as go off roading or hiking to take in more of the stunning landscape. Your last day is spent taking in the mountains, pampas and forests of Torres del Paine National Park, as well as spotting the magnificent wildlife that inhabits these parts, including wild guanacos rheas, condors and Patagonian hare.

We did a 12 day customized trip in 2018. Found this company through Zicasso, Kieran was great arranging it all and communication was easy. Our trip started in Buenos Aires where we did a cooking class at the Argentine Experience and took a tango lesson. Our dance instructors took us out to a milongo afterwards and we ended up staying out until 2am. It was great! We felt completely immersed in the culture. We then flew to Iguazu and toured the jungle, got blasted by the falls in a boat ride and saw all the incredible creatures that live there. Our last 5 days were spent hiking in Patagonia where we trekked the Perito Moreno Glacier, visited a ranch, and then drove to El Chalten for the final days. All of our transportation was provided, all internal flights booked by Kieran, and everything was just wonderful. To this day, it’s one of my favorite vacations!
