Excellent tour of El Chaltén. I highly recommend it. We went hiking; we are senior citizens, and the guide never lost sight of us, always attentive to our needs. The lunch was delicious and plentiful.“

“Excellent mini trekking experience and all glaciers with captain's cabin (it is more expensive, but totally worth it). The agency responds quickly and all instructions are clear.
All tours are on time and without problems. Much better than we imagined.
I highly recommend it 🍀❄️❄️“

Which one is right for you?

If you want maximum flexibility and to create your own day → I chose Chaltén Full Day Free. Round-trip transfer only; you decide whether to walk to Laguna Capri, visit Chorrillo del Salto, or simply explore the town. Ideal for independent travelers.

If you want guided walks but without navigation → I chose Chalten + Viewpoints. The guide takes you to the Condor Lookout with views of Fitz Roy and then to the Chorrillo del Salto waterfall. Lunch at a restaurant is included. For those who prefer a structured experience rather than improvisation.

If you want to sail and hike towards a glacier → I chose Chaltén + Desert Lake. This is the most comprehensive tour: sailing on Emerald Lake and trekking to Vespignani Glacier. Unique landscapes in the border region with Chile. For adventurers seeking something different.

If you are staying in El Chaltén and want to explore the Viedma Glacier → I chose Viedma Adventure. Sailing on Lake Viedma + trekking at Cape Horn in front of Argentina's largest glacier. Much less visited than the Perito Moreno Glacier.
