Great show

At first drive with magnificent panoramas to access the glacier. A breathtaking site of beauty and grandeur. Prefer parking 2 going up to the glacier , the population is divided by 5 . Stair path with several panoramas, really doable rather than take the mini bus , it is more authentic and provides a real walk. We loved it, a must in Argentina

A great experience!

A fantastic experience. It was well organized and guided well beyond expectations! Extra information during the trip was in Spanish and English. A comfortable and modern bus made the trip a pleasure for the group of about 20 people .
