Important information

The trips to and from the park are long (approximately 4 hours each way). There is only one town with restrooms and commerce, which is Villa Mañihuales (midway). Therefore, we recommend that passengers take advantage of this stop for any necessary needs. There are restrooms available in the National Park.
On one of the trails in the National Park, there is an option to navigate the Témpanos Lagoon to get closer to the glacier. This navigation is not included in the excursion, so if the passenger wishes to do it, it must be paid for separately (it costs $15,000 per person and must be paid in cash).
