Horrific transport experience where we were taken, an old combi (AA968LY from Punto Sur SR) that did not work the air conditioning and with engine failure with 16 passengers on board and 29 degrees temperature, we were forced to open the glasses so much dirt entered that it made it difficult for us to breathe. They are not prepared to carry elderly people and less with some motor difficulty.
As for the landscapes, they are incredible, it is a pity that in 2025 and with international tourism, they are managed by subcontracting vehicles not fit for this purpose.
Sofia was our guide with remarkable professionalism. Thanks Sofia.

We arrived early to avoid the tourist buses and crowds. The area has fine viewing points with sensitive spots rightly fenced off. The glacier itself is impressive with a small lake at its base with calved icebergs floating in it. The birdlife seems unafraid of people which is perfect. I loved taking time out watching a pair of Patagonian Finches
