A trip to this imposing glacier gives you a chance to walk on the ice wearing cleats and to see and hear a truly astounding spectacle: blocks of ice rupturing and floating away as icebergs.

A true world class must see Do your research and spend as much of a full day as you can As well as the boardwalks and the many vistas, we did the boat trip and mini hike on the glacier. The crampons took a little getting used to and the on glacier ice hike was not for the faint hearted or physically impaired. It was done by the National Park staff very well. It wasn’t cheap, but we felt we experienced everything this remarkable national park has to offer Unmissable

I have climbed at many crags of Europe and North America but I've never been in a place as stunning and with so many high-quality routes as Piedra Parada. It's without a doubt my number 1 experience so far for several reasons. To start, there are literally thousands of routes covering the whole spectrum of grades and styles of climbing, all of which are clearly described and categorized in the fantastic Petzl climbing guidebook. Then the vibe at the Cañadon de la Buitrera (the name of the canyon) is just fantastic. We met friendly people from all over the world, enjoying and sharing together this spectacular place, and then in the evening you meet them all again and can share a beer together at Moncada's campground! We made awesome friendships and got to climb together for a week with some really great people. The cherry on the cake has to be the view of the amazing Piedra right in front of our tent every morning when we got up. Bonus points for the refreshing river running right next to the campground where we took some much needed dips! I'd really recommend this spot to anybody who visits Argentina and is into climbing! Best time of the year to go is October/November through March!

The glacier is breathtaking and is well worth the excursion from El Calafate, particularly on an organised tour with an experienced guide who can offer insights into the nature and geography of the park.

I hiked to the Refugio from Dona Rosa, it took me 7h15. To gauge my fitness I run 5km in 32 minutes. If you are less fit than me it will take you much longer - be aware of the sunset.There were people arriving in the dark. That is dangerous! In March 2019 the Refugio cost 500peso. I bought a pizza for 500 and a beer for 130. (Inflation is 30% here next year the prices will be much more). The following morning I hiked to the glacier. The return trip to the Refugio was 3h15. It then took 5h30 to return to Dona Rosa. I had booked a taxi for 6pm. It was quite a challenge to make it on time! You can get a map and register your hike with the mountain service in El Bolson beside the pond in the centre of town. You must hike with 1.5L of water, a torch, a sleeping bag, sturdy shoes and lots of snacks. A two or 3 Refugio hike would be easier than the hike I did - after the glacier you can hike to Natacion Refugio which takes much less time than climbing down the mountain.

Worth the rough boat ride, the glacial winds that literally knock you down, and the 4x4 trek to see this beauty up close!
