From El Calafate: Full-Day Tour to El Chaltén - Parador La Leona and the first taste of Patagonia

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 926 reviews · 11 hours · from $130Our pick

Review of the El Chaltén day tour from El Calafate, with Route 40 scenery, Fitz Roy views, two short walks, practical tips, and value advice.

“Timely pick up from the hotel, very organized. Saw Guanacos on the road. 2 short hikes, one is 1km uphill which may be hard on older or out of shape people, the other one 500 mts to a waterfall. We didn’t buy the lunch option and had a lovely lunch in town. El Chalten is mostly a base area for long hikes, and because we were traveling with my in-laws (mid 70s) picked out this tour for a bird’s view overview of this area. It is good for what it is, but if you really want to enjoy El Chalten, the thing to do is spend a few days and…”

From El Calafate: Torres del Paine Full Day Tour

4.Torres del Paine Full Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 434 reviews · 16 hours · from $229

Review of the 16-hour Torres del Paine tour from El Calafate, with border tips, scenic stops, hiking details, lunch, costs, and honest advice.

“The excursion is quite expensive, although it’s worth it, as Torres del Paine is truly magical. The journey is extremely long and very tiring, so make sure you have plenty of energy — and time to rest afterward. At the beginning of the trip, the bus heating wasn’t working — although it was eventually fixed, it would be a good idea to check this in advance before such long journeys. The food definitely needs improvement, as it’s really not good at all. Matias and Emanuel are really kind, always very willing to help, and they never lose their good spirit, even after such a long and exhausting day.”

“The scenery was great but there was not enough English translation on the tour. The tour guide spent a lot more time speaking in Spanish than in English. Yes, the places we stopped were explained in English but not to the same extent as in Spanish. On the way back from the tour, she spoke for an hour in Spanish and I did not get any translation of what was said.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 285 reviews · 8 hours - 750 minutes · from $225

Cruise Los Glaciares National Park from El Calafate with gourmet food, four viewing decks, glacier stops, and optional Perito Moreno footbridges.

“It was an amazing day, for sure a highlight during our time in Patagonia. Transport was reliable, guides did tell us a lot about the glaciers and parks and we really appreciated also the extra stop in Puesto las vacas and get to know more about the ecosystem of the national park. Just two things for improvement: Would have been nice to know upfront that we are not allowed to get real close to Upsala glacier. And we only found the option to book transport incl. the lunch box option. We would have appreciated the option with transport and without lunch. But the lunch box was delicios! All in all…”

Review of the $49 Iguazu Falls day tour from Puerto Iguazu, with circuits, Devil’s Throat, guide quality, costs, crowds, and practical tips.

“$50 per person for basically transportation from and to hotel and national park. A guide is not needed for this experience! You'll have to purchase entrance and boat experience tickets separately. Honestly, if you're able to coordinate transportation with your hotel, you don't need a guide to experience the falls. The park provides enough guidance for you to know where to go and what to do. We had to wait around a while for our driver to pick us up at the end of the tour. Also everyone does the trails at a different pace so it's best not to do this with a group. We were all done with…”
