Which one is right for you?
If you want the most complete experience without walking on ice → I chose South Glacier Pioneers. This is the most comprehensive tour to Perito Moreno Glacier: two boat trips, a trek through the Lenga Forest with an exclusive viewpoint, a lamb lunch at a historic ranch, and walkways. All in one day without missing a thing.
If you prefer just catwalks with free time → I chose PM Glacier Tour. You have 5 hours to explore the circuits at your own pace. It's the most flexible and economical option. You can add optional navigation if you wish.
If you want to walk on the ice of the glacier → I chose Minitrekking. Includes 1 hour 30 minutes with crampons on the glacier + navigation + walkways. It's your introduction to the world of glacier trekking. Ages 8 to 65.
If you're more interested in the gaucho experience than the glacier → I chose Nibepo Aike Ranch. Rural activities + lamb barbecue + gaucho skills show. Glacier not included but can be combined with another day.
