This was a highlight of my time in Argentina. It's difficult to describe the glacier and the landscape. You've just got to see it. The walk through the forest is on platforms, easily walkable. For point of reference, I'm 60 with an arthritic knee and I had no problems with it at all. The views are spectacular. On the boat.... don't worry about getting a window seat when you board. Instead, get a seat near to the exit. About 5 minutes offshore the captain says that you can go aboveboard and that's really where you want to be anyway. The boat lingers for 30-45 minutes giving you ample time to take pics of the glacier and hope that you catch a chunk of ice falling. Great trip.Marj60605

Reserving this package was easy via email, with friendly service. This package is a bit of an investment, but we don't regret it for a moment, including the boat ride which gave a different perspective from the walkways and was an excellent add-on. Soledad was our (fully-certified) guide and she was nothing short of amazing. So knowledgeable, friendly, and with excellent English. Whether geology, biology, history of any other aspect of this breath-taking area, Solly knew it all and was able to explain to us clearly and with insight. This package includes a driver, which allowed us to have non-stop conversation during the trip to and from the glacier. Her love of this region was contagious and added to our experience. Bonus: although we'd asked many others, Solly gave us the most thorough understanding of the mate tradition and even shared her personal brew with us. We never thought our day at the glacier would be filled with such warmth!Anna_E

The stunning Perito Moreno Glacier. We did the boat tour and all the walks (red, yellow and blue) well worth doing them all as they give a slightly different perspective of the glacier. Luciana was brilliant, she was so knowledgeable and a lovely friendly person allowing us to go at our own pace, imparting little nuggets of information all the way. She even recommended the fantastic La Tablita for supper which was a lovely authentic Patagonian restaurant. A memorable day.
