Adventure Horseback Riding on Cerro Frias

Daniel_S, Sept 2026

Great Beginner Horseback Experience in Beautiful Surroundings

I very much enjoyed this tour. I booked it at the last minute and ended up alone on the tour, but Matthias's attention was great. I had never ridden a horse anywhere meaningful, but had no trouble keeping up. The landscape is gorgeous, the estancia is elegant, and I had a good lunch to follow up. I would recommend this more for groups or for the evening times when available.

Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier

Great trip to see glacier

The tour was vey good. I was the only English speaking passenger but our guide was very patient and explained everything in English. The optional boat ride was fun, but if you do not have mobility issues, I suggest you just hike the same portion of the glacier that the boat navigates to. The photos of the boat tour are not too accurate because it looks like the boat really gets close to the glacier, but it does not. It is still a distance away but you can always zoom in. Spectacular! I liked the yellow portion of the walkway, got to see another side of the glacier. We had a wonderful Guide, Rebecca, and great driver, Lucas.

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.

Alway patient, knowledgeable, super pleasant, and very clear in both english and spanish. The group we were with also had many friendly people. And, of course, the Torres del Paine park was spectacular... even in slightly rainy weather.

It's a long trip but worththe effort

Great whatsapp comms the day before with A PDF explaining the park passes and chile declarations. You MUST complete both b4 you travel, plus bring your passport. 4WD truck arrived at my hotel on time. Trip lasted about 14 hours. The tour guided Silvestre and Jackie and driver Gusavo were really awesome hroughout the trip, plus the Park ked lunch was great quality .. saw condors, pumas and guanacos, plus a x 1.5 hour trek in the national park. I was very happy with the trip and recommend this to anyone. It's just the border crossings that take the time and are a pain.

Tremendous experience ! Not to be missed

This was a unique experience to get up close and into a glacier. Our guides Matti and Johnny were amazing, helping all of us up and down the steep parts! Taking pictures in all the really picturesque spots. It was so well organized , even tea and coffee after completing the trek. There was an awesome surprise at the end of the trek which you’ve got to do the trek to find out!!

We enjoyed this...

We enjoyed this excursion. The time flies by quickly and our guide Noella was good at providing information during the more monotonous parts (the drive back and forth). Everything was clearly explained, obviously slightly better in Spanish, but still more than sufficiently in English. The glacier itself is amazing and we enjoyed having the time to do both the boat ride and the walkways, as they provide different but valuable perspectives. I've heard people say that this can be expensive compared to just going it alone, and while that may be true, the convenience of having everything handled and not driving ourselves was worth it for us.

Highly recommended

The experience was amazing. Absolute would recommend. Staff were friendly and very informative. The views were stunning, they give you ample time in front of each glacier they take you to see so you can truly enjoy it and take in the magnificent views. The food was good but the dessert was amazing. Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Great Experience. Great Staff. Truly Beautiful

Very helpful team. Nice focus on enjoying the quiet and beauty of the glacier. Very willing to help take pictures and give you the most enjoyable natural experience you can. Help them out by having a tether for your phone/camera so they don't have to worry about dropping YOUR phone while they're helping take a picture of you.
