Walk Perito Moreno Glacier with crampons, cruise its blue ice walls, and explore Patagonia’s forest and boardwalks from El Calafate.

“The El Calafate Mini Trekking tour is honestly on the expensive side, but it was absolutely worth it. Walking directly on the glacier is not something you get to do every day, and from start to finish, it felt like such a special and unique experience. It also became an unforgettable memory for my kids. My kids didn’t find it difficult at all—in fact, they were so excited and enjoyed every moment, which made me even happier as a parent. It wasn’t just sightseeing, but a real hands-on adventure, where you can truly see and feel nature. Most of all, the guides were amazing. Sebastian (I may be spelling the…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 25 reviews · 270 minutes - 8 hours · from $75

Hike Cerro Calavera above Mendoza for Cordón del Plata views, lake scenery, regional stories, snacks, and a poolside lunch.

“En primer lugar la caminata fue de solo 2 escasas horas. Esto fue porque la persona que nos guiaría por la montaña llegó 3 horas más tarde a nuestro encuentro. Y además tuvimos que esperar como una hora más hasta que finalmente salimos. Por supuesto que se cambió el recorrido por uno mucho mas corto y supongo menos pintoresco. La guía con muy buena onda, pero nuestra espectativa de hacer una gran caminata y ver un lindo paisaje se truncó. Muy desorganizados los responsables. El lugar muy básico, no demasiado limpio, con poco para elegir de comida. Y otro punto; nos recogieron del hotel 9,30, hora prevista. Pero estuvimos por…”

Review of a 3-hour Paraná Delta hike, kayak or SUP tour with hotel transfer, forest wildlife, river swimming, guides, value, and practical tips.
