Once in the park, we will go to Curva de los Suspiros, where we will get out of the vehicle to take a first look at the Perito Moreno Glacier, which is certainly an amazing image.

Later we will make another stop at the Muelle bajo las Sombras, where we will navigate to get closer to the southern wall of the glacier.

By boat we will approach the stunning Perito Moreno ice walls, getting close enough to contemplate its immensity and also to observe the ice landslides that continually take place. As we get to the front wall, the boat will stop for a few minutes to get a better look at the landscape, giving us a very good opportunity to take interesting photographs and film the scene.

Then we will go to the front catwalks of the glacier, where we will see it from several balconies located at different heights, allowing us to appreciate it from different angles, each more beautiful than the last one. Finally, we will enjoy some free time to spot the different detachments that continually take place, and those who want to can enjoy lunch at any of the restaurants near the runways.

In the afternoon we will return to El Calafate and we will drop you off at your hotel. The rest of the evening is yours to enjoy El Calafate.

Day 4 : Navigation On The Lake Argentino Todo Glaciares

The Navigation on the Lake Argentino Todo Glaciares is one of the few ways to get closer to some of the most distant and inaccessible glaciers. You will have the opportunity to travel comfortably inside the catamaran or you will be able to walk along the balconies and the deck, which allows you to have the possibility of taking wonderful pictures.

Also, you will land at the Spegazzini Base, a piece of land in the middle of the immensity of the Argentino Lake and the Glacier field. There you will have time for lunch and to walk in the forest through different paths that will take you to viewpoints with spectacular views of the National Park.

The descent will begin, diverging from the road to follow woodcutters´ancient traces. Land Rovers are allowed to get to places with impossible access otherwise, because of the forest, the clay, and rocks.

Around 12.30 pm, you will arrive at the refuge where you will wait for a delicious asado criollo (typical barbecue). While the guides prepare the food, the passengers can have a walk around to appreciate the forest and beavers' constructions that are part of the landscape.

After a satisfying lunch, the adventure continues along the vibrant shores of Fagnano Lake. Follow an internal trail that leads to the smaller yet stunning Escondido Lake. Around 2 pm, we will begin our journey back to Ushuaia city, traversing sections of the historic Nacional Road 3. Expect to arrive at your hotel by 3 pm, concluding an amazing day of exploration.

20-Feb-2024

I went on Tangol's full day walking tour of Buenos Aires and Sylvia was a very knowledgeable guide who clearly has a passion for sharing the cultural, social and political stories of Buenos Aires and how each of the neighborhoods visited help tell that story. It was a great (and well-planned) overview of BA.

24-Mar-2024

We are Argentine soccer fans and asked Tangol if they have a tour package in Rosario that includes visits to places related to Lionel Messi, like his birth house and the soccer field (potrero) he played on in childhood. Though Tangol does not have such a package, they tailored a 1-day tour based on our requests for my family (4 persons) with air tickets between Buenos Aires and Rosario, a private minivan + a tour guide in Rosario. The Tangol contact person sent detailed information, including emergency contact, a couple of days before the tour day. Using WhatsApp, she responded promptly and precisely. In Rosario, the tour guide spoke perfect American English. He was friendly to all of us, and we felt comfortable talking to him and asking him many questions. He was knowledgeable about all the places we visited and answered our questions very nicely. That was the best tour of my life!

A tad expensive for football, but a good service and availability for anything you have to do in Buenos Aires! Would recommend. We went on a great tour to watch racing club against belgrano and apart for the amazing atmosphere, our guide Martin was tremendous! We would recommend using tangol to others.

25-Mar-2024

Tangol arranged a special one day tour for our family to visit Rosario, the home town of the famous Argentina soccer players like Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria. We could visit many places (e.g., Messi's birth house, school, and the soccer field, Museo del Deporte Santafesino, Estadios Rosario Central y Newell's Old Boys, etc.) and take many pitcures. Tangol arranged a tour guide and a mini-van driver for us. They were waiting for us at the airport. They were very friendly and also knowledgeable, so we enjoyed talking with them. This special tour was the one of best tours for us.

Great experience! We went to San Lorenzo cops Libertador match and we highly recommend the office to arrange any tour. We felt perfectly safe and our guide had plenty experience and he knew everything concerning football and in general Argentina.

20-Mar-2024

We used Tangol in Buenos Aires 5 years ago -- for a bike tour of BA, and for a tour of the Delta. We used Tangol again recently (March 2024) for a wine tasting/lunch tour at Pizzorno wines in Canelones, Uruguay. Both times service by Tangol was excellent: great tours, very good communication with Tangol, and good support in one case of what we thought was an emergency, but wasn't. Highly recommend this company

Do not use this company....

23-Dec-2023

Do not use this company. On December 19, 2023, my parents went on the Iguazu Falls tour from Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, using this company. The driver they sent scammed my elderly parents, along with many others in the bus, out of an additional $10 USD per person by making them wait in the vehicle while he went to buy the park tickets. He stripped them of the opportunity to go buy the tickets themselves. This scam involved forcing my parents, along with others in the bus, to pay cash at an exchange rate of 175 Portugese Reais, which works out to approximately $35 USD for each park ticket when it should have been around $25 USD. I asked this company four times for the name and phone number of the driver but they refuse to provide the information. Furthermore, the driver then made each person pay an additional 5 Reais on the way back, claiming it was to pay for some additional fee. Lastly, this booking was done for an 8 am tour departure. The company then sent us an email stating 7:40 am pick-up, which was fine. However, the driver showed up at the hotel at 7:10 am while my mother was still eating breakfast telling her to get moving or he would leave them behind. This is the most disgusting company I have ever dealt with and even to this moment they refuse to provide the driver's information to us because are protecting his scam from the police. I petitioned Viator for a refund for at least one of the tickets but this Tangol company lied to them stating that my parents chose to do the conversion at a much higher market exchange rate with the driver. I hope others that were in the same bus come forward.

27-Dec-2023

They cancelled a tour the day before-- Pope Francis in Buenos Aires. If you offer a tour I think it is important to go and do the tour as opposed to canceling the day prior. Super frustrating. Would not book with them again.
