Definitely try to go during sunrise or sunset for the best light and incredible views. I went early around 7 AM, and the colors were stunning!

Wear sturdy shoes because some paths can get tricky or muddy. I wore sneakers and wished I had my hiking boots with me for better grip.

Try to arrive around 9 AM when they open. You’ll avoid the crowds and have a more peaceful experience exploring the area.

Don't forget your layers! The weather changes fast, so bring a light jacket and some warmer clothes even if it looks nice at first.

I recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. It's super easy to refill at the visitor center, and it saves you money on overpriced bottled water.

If you're planning on doing ice climbing, book your spot well in advance, like at least a week before. They fill up fast, and you don't want to miss out!

Wear layers! The weather can change on a dime in the park. I learned the hard way when I got caught in a chilly wind after taking off my jacket; being prepared really enhances the experience

I recommend visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier in the early morning around 8 AM. You'll beat the crowds and get the best views without the rush. Plus, the morning light makes for some stunning photos!

I suggest wearing good hiking shoes. The terrain can be a bit tricky, and my flip-flops definitely weren't the best choice.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes - the paths can be uneven and you'll want to take your time exploring. I didn't realize this until after I was already a bit sore from all the walking!

i recommend packing a packed lunch. the food options at the reserve aren't great and can be pricey. enjoy your meal with a view, and you’ll save a few bucks!

My advice is to wear sturdy shoes. The trails can be rough in spots, and I slipped a bit in my sneakers. Good shoes will make all the difference in enjoying your hike!
