Nice El Chalten
It was a long drive to El Chalten, with a brief rest stop at Hotel La Leona which is part of Route 40. On arrival at El Chalten, we were informed that effective that day March 3, visitors would have to pay 3018 pesos as city tax. The method of collection was not organized, we were directed here and there where to go just to do the payment. I gave a 10000 peso bill as payment for a total tax of 6036 pesos for 2 pax and I expected and trusted the cashier to give the correct change of 3964. However, when we returned to the bus, I counted the change I got and realized it was only 3090. Not nice at all. Anyway, the rest of the day was fine...the waterfall at Chorrillos del Salto was nice, lunch at Rancho Grande was good, entrance ticket to the park is now 50% off because of the previous day's visit to Perito Moreno glacier, the trek to Miradores de las Condores was a bit challenging for us seniors but still doable. Unfortunately, the cloud cover was a kill joy and blocked what would have been a stunning view of the glacier peaks. We finished around 4:00 pm and we were back in El Calafate safe and sound at 6:30 pm.

The guide adds a lot to this experience.
It was a a great way to visit Perito Moreno Glacier.
Our guide, Anahi, is fluent in both English and Spanish and did a wonderful job interpreting where we were and what we saw. She was well versed in the flora and fauna and history of the region. She explained everything very clearly.
Super enjoyable thanks to her good energy and guidance.
Appreciated being pickup and dropped off at my hostel. Nice touch.

Best no pressure experience allowing you to take in everything!
It’s a long day traveling but time well spent, the guide was extremely informative on all aspects of the journey including the wildlife and the ecosystem we were passing through and the views were stunning, would most definitely recommend it, the experience of crossing the border from Argentina to Chile was an experience in itself and I’m glad we did it verses trying to do it on our own. And the lunch was quite good.

Beautiful scenery
The glacier is at a national park which you have to pay to enter. There is several stops. The first one you’re getting on the boat to see the glacier. Then the second stop is a walk that you could take pictures with the glacier behind you. This last stop has a restaurant and convenience store.
