Un buen paseo, sin llegar a ser inolvidable. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. El almuerzo fue simple para lo que dura la jornada. Recomendable en general.

One of the best things we did on the whole trip. The walk up to Lake Argentino was worth every step. For what we paid, it is exceptional value. Nice touch including 60 minute walk in the Patagonian Andean forest (round trip). The guide flagged where it was worth stopping for photos. If we come back to El Calafate, we will do it again.

Good experience

I would do it again, though I would change a couple of things. Well signposted throughout, and staff were attentive. I would have preferred less transfer time and more time on site. I would do it again anyway.

Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. Nos tocó un día despejado en Exploración y fue una suerte enorme. Lo de 90 minutos arriba del hielo estuvo muy bien pensado. Se puede hacer sin experiencia previa, te explican todo antes. Hubiera preferido menos tiempo de traslado y más en el lugar. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.

Would repeat in a heartbeat

Pleasantly surprised. Including 90 minutes above the ice takes a worry off your hands. We were speechless at Ice Formation Exploration. The price is honest for what you get. Thank you for a great day out.

Cumple con lo que ofrece. Nos atendieron por WhatsApp para una duda y respondieron en minutos. Correcto el guía, aunque el micrófono le fallaba cada tanto. Llegar a Recorrido fue impresionante. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Lo único: el grupo era un poco más grande de lo que esperábamos. Nada grave, pero vale saberlo antes de reservar.
