Breathtaking - Impossible to tell in 100 characters I travel more than 20,000 km, from minus 5 degrees to 35 degrees. The landscapes are magnificent

A tour everyone can enjoy - A tour of Perito Moreno Glacier is not to be missed! The balcony trails overlooking the glaciers allow for incredible photo opportunities and enjoying the views at your own pace. The boat tour gives another beautiful perspective from a safe distance out on the water. Pablo our tour guide and Gaston our driver were wonderful. We learned about the local geography of the Patagonia region as well as some of the animals native to the region. This is the perfect tour for all ages and abilities as there is no real hiking involved and there is a wheelchair accessible path to the balcony viewing decks. Highly recommend for anyone less adventurous who wants to avoid more involved trekking.

This trip did not start... - This trip did not start very well as I was picked up super late. I even asked the reception of my hotel to contact the tour agency as I was worried I wouldn't be picked up. It was a very scenic drive however and the boat ride was once in a lifetime experience. Nothing beats seeing the glacier close to you. I would've wished more time given to wander around the park - so you can see the glaciers in different angles. The guide was super helpful as well and provided a lot of information about El Calafate and the park on our way.
