What people love about Los Glaciares National Park Tours
- El Calafate & El Chalten Full Day – 4 Nights
This is a great tour to get a glance of Patagonia if you have limited time and budget. The third day which is free allows either for relaxation in El Calafate or another adventure. We went to Torres del Paine in Chile which was a long day trip but definitely worth it.
- Land of Glaciers: El Calafate
It was fantastic. Great experience!
- Southern Patagonia: El Calafate, El Chalten & Ushuaia
Please keep in mind this is just MY experience on the tour, and I'm sure everyone's is different and unique. I was very thankful that We the People was open to feedback after the tour and that they will continue to improve future trips. Thanks! 1. Communication: The communication with Eve from We the People was great. She was very quick at responding to my requests before the tour started, and even offered for the trip to start for me in Chalten instead of Calafate since I was the only one on the itinerary and she knew I would coming from Chalten. The frustrating part is that I was not notified until a couple weeks before the trip that I was the ONLY one on my itinerary. 2. Activities: Though it was a 7 day tour, there were only 3 half-day activities organized through the tour. The tours themselves were good and the guides were good. Perito Moreno Glacier- this was a little disappointing for two reasons. EVERY other person on my bus (about 40 people) had the boat ride included in their fare, but I was the only one who would have to pay extra if I wanted it. For the price paid for the tour, I would think the boat ride should be included. Also, I was told when I booked the tour that I could add mini-trekking as an optional activity for this day. When I asked the tour operator the night before, I was told that I was not able to add the activity. We the People explained to me (in a What's App message) that they are still new at organizing these tours and probably had given me inaccurate information. This was frustrating because I did not have additional days allotted where I could have booked this activity on my own, so I did not get to do it. I do hope this gets improved for future trips. Lago del Desierto- while this tour was "guided," we were left alone to complete the hike to the glacier. I completed this hike alone and the conditions at the top were VERY windy. Would definitely be better if there were other people in my We the People group. One of the main attractions of Patagonia/EL Chalten is the Fitz Roy trek, and I didn't really feel like the itinerary allowed time for this. You need an entire day for this trek and need to start early in the morning, and the tour just isn't designed that way. 3. Lodging: The hostels booked were as good as I could expected. No complaints with the lodging. I booked the "cheaper" option for this trip so I knew I would be in shared accommodations. 4: Guide: As a solo traveler, I feel much more comfortable with an assigned tour guide (and usually other travelers as well). There is no "dedicated guide" for the duration of the trip. For my experience, I only got guides on the day trips and it was the guide that I would have gotten had I booked those activities independently. When I asked We the People about this, they said they only provide a group tour guide if there are more then 4 people on the trip, but that the tour guide only organizes activities and does not offer advice or guidance. This is clearly listed on their tour page, but I didn't know I was the only one on the tour until a few weeks before so it was a little tougher on my own. 5: Transportation: Transportation was good and I have no complaints here. 6: Overall Experience: I felt like it was more of a "partially guided" tour and felt the price was a bit much for what was included. I always justify the cost of a fully guided group tour by knowing that part of my cost is going to pay a tour guide and I will get that one-on-one attention. The experience might be different with more people on the itinerary.
What our customers ask about Los Glaciares National Park Tours & Trips
When is the best time to visit Los Glaciares National Park?
October through March offers the most reliable conditions for exploring Los Glaciares National Park. Temperatures stay between 5°C and 20°C and daylight extends well into the evening. Perito Moreno Glacier shows increased activity during these months while trails leading to Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre remain clear and accessible. The Rochester Hotel in El Calafate provides comfortable lodging during the peak season. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "We visited in February and the weather was perfect for hiking with clear views of the glaciers and minimal wind."
What are the must-see highlights of Los Glaciares National Park?
Perito Moreno Glacier dominates the landscape at 70 meters high and 5 kilometers wide with regular ice calving events. The trek to Laguna de los Tres reveals close-up views of Mount Fitz Roy while Cerro Torre's granite peaks offer challenging climbs. Lake Argentino boat tours pass the towering Spegazzini Glacier. Hosteria Tierra Tehuelche in El Calafate serves as a central base for these attractions. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The Perito Moreno glacier was absolutely breathtaking - seeing massive chunks of ice crash into the water below was unforgettable."
How long should I spend in Los Glaciares National Park?
Plan for 4-5 days to explore the park's key sites without rushing. This schedule allows a full day at Perito Moreno Glacier several days of hiking near El Chaltén to experience Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre plus time for a Lake Argentino boat tour. Hotel Don Los Cerros in El Chaltén and Hotel Las Dunas in El Calafate offer strategic locations. A TourRadar traveler commented: "We spent 5 days and it felt perfect - enough time to see the glaciers and do several hikes without feeling rushed."
How do I get to Los Glaciares National Park?
Flights arrive at El Calafate International Airport (FTE) from Buenos Aires. The Perito Moreno Glacier lies 80km from the airport while El Chaltén sits 220km away. Tour packages typically handle all transfers. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The transfers were very well organized from airport pickup to hotel transfers and excursions." Hotel Rochester in El Calafate and Hotel Chalten Suites Lodge provide convenient bases for park exploration.
What are the accommodation options in and around Los Glaciares National Park?
El Calafate and El Chaltén serve as the main overnight bases. El Calafate's Xelena Hotel offers upscale rooms with lake views while El Chaltén features Destino Sur and Hotel Lunajuim. For a different perspective stay at Nibepo Aike Estancia within park boundaries or Aguas Arriba Lodge near Lago del Desierto. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Hotels were good and the pick-up services were exactly on time making the experience very comfortable."
What wildlife can I expect to see in Los Glaciares National Park?
The park's diverse ecosystem supports Andean condors that circle Mount Fitz Roy guanacos roaming the steppes and Magellanic woodpeckers inhabiting lenga forests. Lake Argentino attracts black-browed albatross and upland geese. Near Nibepo Aike Estancia visitors often encounter Andean deer and foxes. A TourRadar traveler shared: "If we were silent and lucky we had great chances of spotting native wildlife like woodpeckers near the trails."
