The most spectacular and unforgettable trekking in southern Patagonia.

The concept behind this tour is...
<p>The concept behind this tour is great - an overview of Buenos Aires, including a tango show, plus a trip to Calafate to see the amazing Perito Moreno Glacier. Almost all the sites and activities were wonderful. BUT, my husband and I experienced a number of serious problems with the tour, all of which stemmed from the main operator. First, they booked one of our Buenos Aires' hotel rooms on the wrong night. I found this out when I contacted the hotel directly to confirm. Second, they repeatedly failed to provide us with even the most basic info. We kept having to email their offices, which are not open 24/7, to find out what time we would be picked up, etc. For airport pick-ups, we ended up just trusting that someone would be there. For our tango show, after our requesting it, we were told when we would be picked up - but we literally got into the van having no idea where we were going. After getting frustrated with the daily hassle of requesting times, we asked them to send us an itinerary. We got a handwritten one, probably more than halfway through the trip. Fortunately, in Calafate, they turned us over to a travel agency. The agency folks were fantastic. We were given a schedule and vouchers, plus a full explanation of our time in Calafate immediately upon arrival. They agency was the exact opposite of the tour operator. The only problem - I blame this too on the tour operator - was that we were not able to do glacier trekking because slots for that were full. The tour operator should have informed us of these options or directed us to the local agency in advance. Other notes: The Buenos Aires bus tour was LARGE group, and not very good. Good thing my hubbie and I speak Spanish b/c the tour guide did not speak much Eng. Tango show/dinner was amazing. WARNING: This tour notes that airfare to Calafate is not included, but it doesn't do so prominently. You will have to buy your own tix, but the extra cost was worth it.</p>

Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres cost?
+
Prices start at $425 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in El Calafate usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in El Calafate is not rushed.
Is Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in El Calafate can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in El Calafate and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day in El Chaltén with trekking to Laguna de los Tres start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central El Calafate within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in El Calafate?
+
On Outty we rank every El Calafate experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier with Navigation from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit El Calafate?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in El Calafate?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
