Top Services for Culture in El Calafate

Don’t forget to layer up, even in summer. The weather can change rapidly in Patagonia. I wasn't prepared and ended up freezing on the tour, which wasn't fun!

My advice is to bring a packed lunch or some snacks. Meals in the area can be pricey, and enjoying lunch out on the water was a highlight of my day.

I think it’s worth asking about discounts if you're planning multiple activities. We ended up saving some cash when we bundled tours together. Just be sure to ask!

I suggest booking your excursion in advance; it saved me a ton of hassle, especially since some tours fill up super fast. Don't wait until the last minute!

Bring a packed lunch! The food options at the park are pricey and not that great. Enjoy a picnic while soaking in the views instead.

I suggest checking out the big gift shop afterwards. They have some unique items that you won’t find elsewhere in El Calafate, so it’s worth it for souvenir

If you want the best views, go for the 10 AM tour. We got to see fewer crowds and enjoyed a more relaxed experience. Just make sure to set the alarm!

I highly recommend bringing a packed lunch and snacks; there are limited food options once you're out on the trails, and eating amidst those breathtaking views is unbeatable. You'll save time and money

I think you should wear sturdy shoes; the paths can get a bit rocky. I struggled a bit with my regular sneakers, so next time, I'll definitely choose something more appropriate.
