Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi

Reviewed By pshurd

This area is amazing. Well worth a trip to visit for several days. We were on a group trip & spent 4 nights. We could have easily stayed a full week & not seen it all. Incredible scenery. Hiking is great.

Cerro Fitz Roy

Reviewed By Cjs800 - Shanghai, China

The Fitz Roy hike is absolutely amazing. It begins through varied terrains and finishes with a steep climb up to beautiful lake with views over the mountain peaks. Words cannot do this place justice.

Laguna Torre

Reviewed By watergirls2 - Cardiff-by-the-Sea, United States

Beautiful scenery, the hike was relatively easy to moderate. Recommend this hike if you are in El Chaltan for a few days. Mount Fitz Roy hike was our favorite! As others have said, the weather is unpredictable and you may start out with sunny weather and by the time you get to the Laguna Torre or other destinations it can be clouded over. We were lucky with abnormally warm weather and mostly clear good weather; however, if you can plan to spend some time at Laguna Torre or Fitz Roy since the weather changes so quickly you will likely be rewarded with clear views at some point during the day!

Laguna de los Tres

Reviewed By andreaa277 - Sydney, Australia

This is an amazing hike , all the terrain leading up to it (we started at Hosteria Pillar ) and of course the lakes at the top of that very steep climb. Then the walk back to town with the gorgeous (Patagonia emblem) as a backdrop. Start early we encountered crowds on the way back down at about 1pm . Keep in mind you will be sharing this walk with people that are hell bent on getting to the top I presume instagramming and hell bent on getting back down again. Still an amazing day - in summer the days are super long so you don't have to rush.

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.

Isla Martillo

Reviewed By U1527OHmariam - Baltimore, United States

Spending one hour on the island to experience the penguins was a once in a lifetime experience. You'll take a small speed boat, referred to add a zodiac, for a 15 minute journey from estancias harberton. Once off the zodiac, you'll enjoy an up close walking experience of the penguin natural habitat. Wear layers and a rain worthy shell just in case. The guide provided an informative overview of the penguins and various habitat explanations.

Glacier Martial

A marked trail in the center of town leads intrepid souls on a grueling hike up this glacier, for which they are rewarded with spectacular sweeping views of the southernmost tip of the earth.

Reviewed By F1211SVelizabethd - Los Angeles, United States

I stayed in a hotel well up the road that leads to the Glacier so it was a nice hike from there. Although some people do it, I would not consider it safe to walk up the road from Ushuaia because of the nature of the road and lack of pavement for pedestrians. If you're in central Ushuaia, do get a taxi to a spot close to the Glacier (there's an actual tax rank, so you can get a taxi back.) I am not an experienced mountaineer and it was a glorious and not to difficult hike!

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.

Playa El Doradillo

Reviewed By valentinagioiosa

Puerto Madryn is a really special place for me. It is a beautiful city where you can go in summer or in winter and you’ll have interesting things to do. In summer you can enjoy the beach and go to see the penguins, the killer whales or the dolphins and in winter you can go to see the whales. My favourite season to go is in winter i love to go to “El Doradillo” beach and just sit there watching the sea and the whales. And also there is a coffee shop called "Quemehuencho" they do the best churros in the world, if anyone goes to Puerto Madryn they should try them, you won't regret!
