Sobrevolando glaciares y remando entre hielos: la mejor aventura en El Calafate

¡Tremenda experiencia! El día arrancó con un vuelo impresionante sobre los glaciares, de esos que te dejan con la boca abierta. Después, caminar entre hielos y remar por lagos únicos fue increíble, uno se siente chiquito ante tanta belleza. Todo súper bien organizado, el equipo de Tangol la rompió. Si buscás aventura, paisajes y una buena dosis de aire puro, este tour es para vos. ¡Re contra recomendable!

Aventure unique à El Calafate

Incroyable expérience avec Tangol Tours ! Ce survol du glacier Perito Moreno, c’est vraiment magique de voir cette merveille depuis les airs. Ensuite, la randonnée et le canoë, c’est juste dingue : paysages à couper le souffle, équipe super sympa qui nous met à l’aise direct. Organisation top, pas de temps mort, et ils font vraiment gaffe à la sécurité. Franchement, c’est un tour à faire une fois dans sa vie pour découvrir la Patagonie autrement. Je recommande à 200% pour tous ceux qui veulent vivre une aventure unique au départ d’El Calafate !
