Laguna Torre

Reviewed By watergirls2 - Cardiff-by-the-Sea, United States

Beautiful scenery, the hike was relatively easy to moderate. Recommend this hike if you are in El Chaltan for a few days. Mount Fitz Roy hike was our favorite! As others have said, the weather is unpredictable and you may start out with sunny weather and by the time you get to the Laguna Torre or other destinations it can be clouded over. We were lucky with abnormally warm weather and mostly clear good weather; however, if you can plan to spend some time at Laguna Torre or Fitz Roy since the weather changes so quickly you will likely be rewarded with clear views at some point during the day!

La Leona Petrified Forest

Reviewed By cougfanz - Montevideo, Uruguay

This place is not highly promoted by the tours in town, but definitely not to be missed. The terrain is unreal with a landscape unlike any we've seen. Our guide was amazing as she shared the history and culture of the area. Yes...there are REAL dinosaur bones and fossils you can actually pick up and hold there. The hike is not as strenuous as it would seem. Don't miss this place!

Estancia 25 de Mayo

Estancia 25 de Mayo cuenta con 17.000 hectáreas de campo, y su antiguo casco queda ubicado a pasos del centro de El Calafate, un lugar ideal donde poder descansar y disfrutar del paisaje al pie del Cerro Calafate, respirando el más puro aire patagónico. Una propuesta para descubrir el costado rural del destino en esta gran estancia pionera.

I wasnt too sure about booking this tour however so glad I did. The Estancia was very beautiful . Got to know a lot about the everyday routine at the farm. Also tasted some good coffee made by dunking a smokey charcoal, mulled wine and snacks before the big fiesta we had for dinner. Dinner was delicious and much more impressive then expected. Alcoholic beverages are extra however very reasonably priced. I had a fund evening and would recommend this tour for everyone.

Lago del Desierto

Reviewed By adcdiving - Antwerp, Belgium

Unfortunately, the trip with the larger boat is already fully booked and we don't feel like waiting more than an hour here for the next boat. Fortunately, there is another smaller boat moored at Lago Del Desierto that wants to sail with us and another couple for an hour on the lake for 800 Argentinean Peso per person. Almost a private cruise and definitely recommended because this skipper goes just a little further than the commercial cruise and also gives more time to take the necessary photos of the glaciers and the pointed top of Mount Fitz Roy that shines in the sun.
