Itinerary

Day 1
Buenos Aires to El Calafate
You'll arrive in El Calafate and get settled at your hotel. That afternoon, take a native experience tour where you travel by 4x4 vehicle along Argentine Lake to see ancient caves with indigenous rock art. Your guide will walk you through local traditions and Patagonian history throughout the drive. By evening, you'll have dinner served inside one of the caves, which is a pretty unique way to end the day.

Day 2
El Calafate
This is the glacier day. You'll walk along the suspension bridges at Perito Moreno Glacier and watch the ice calve into the water below, which is something you won't see every trip. After that, you board a boat for the Nautical Safari where the water's this striking turquoise color, and you'll cruise right up close to those massive ice formations. The scale of it all really hits you when you're out on the water.

My client reported that the overall tour experience was positive and generally well-organized. The hotels were particularly excellent. The tour operators was fantastic. He mentioned that he may have missed some important tours during the itinerary. My client expressed a preference for full-day excursions rather than the half-day tours that were booked and paid for. He noted that the full-day excursions provided a more comprehensive experience, which he felt justified the additional cost. Upon arrival, his pickup time had not been confirmed, and he was unsure whom to contact, resulting in an unnecessary two-hour wait. However, after the first day, the pickup times were more efficiently organized. Additionally, my client observed that there were very few English-speaking guides available. On occasions when the designated English guide was sick or unavailable, he was either required to join a Spanish-speaking guide’s tour or forfeit the excursion altogether.

We had an excellent experience from start to finish. They offered a great selection of hotels, all comfortable and well-located, making my stay enjoyable. The tour options were diverse and well-planned, allowing me to explore key attractions without feeling rushed. One of the standout aspects of the experience was their customer service—responses were always quick, both before and during the tour, ensuring all my queries were addressed promptly. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make the experience enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-organized and stress-free travel experience.
