Review of the Torres del Paine 4x4 day trip from El Calafate, with border tips, scenic stops, costs, food, timing, and honest drawbacks.
“We did a full day tour of Torres del Paine. Even though it was a large bus of people, the guide made the trip feel personalized. We had amazing weather and got to see beautiful views–not something that always happens! The guide was very knowledgeable about the region, explaining the differences between the Argentinian and Chilean side of the park, and why they look different. The tour was a full day, and he spent at least 75% of the trip giving commentary in both English and Spanish. He talked about the animals, nature, geology, and history of Patagonia. He was also able to answer any questions the group posed. The…”

Review of El Calafate’s Perito Moreno Glacier day trip, with walkways, guide, transport, park fees, boat option, and practical booking advice.
“I usually dismiss low reviews as bitter people, but I feel compelled to share our experience. Coming for the first time I didn’t want to disappoint my family so I decided this tour would be a good option. If you have a rental car you can make this easy drive from El Calafate. Your time at the glacier is all self guided. You can book your own boat tour. We spent a lot of money for a bid ride and a guide who didn’t share any information of interest. Don’t fall for this”
Review of the El Chaltén day tour from El Calafate, with Fitz Roy views, easy hikes, lunch, costs, timing, and practical advice.
“This excursion was great. Our guide, Sandra was super knowledgeable and made the experience so much better. The lunch was hot and fresh in el Chaltén so that was a nice suprise. We got lucky with a perfect day so we could see both mountains clearly. Also, if you do the glacier before or after, you only pay 50% of park entry.”
