That’s horrible news. Do you know why they are discontinuing it? Is it a safety thing or environmental thing? Any info is appreciated and I’ll happily update the post.
Thanks!

Hi, just to update this blog post, trekking on viedma is NOT available for 2018. No walking on the glacier is allowed.
We are here now and tried to book. Such a shame as we have already seen Perito Moreno and now have to go back to do the trekking if we want

Hi Sherry!

I could not find the same trekking that you did, they are offering only walking over the rocks at Patagonia Aventura, is there other companies/agencies doing this trekking?

I planned and booked my hotels and the glacier hike with Adventure Life – http://www.adventure-life.com/patagonia – I’ve used them again after that trip too in Belize and they did a great job. You can book when you get there too in El Chalten – or you can book in a package like I did. Adventure life booked the hotels and organized transportation between the two places – as well as hiking in the Area. They are an American company but they have been operating in Patagonia now for a while.

I am planning a trip to this area in December and have been searching all over for good info on hikes, camping areas, and other experiences in Patagonia. When you did both Perito Moreno and Viedma, where did you stay? If I understand my geography right, Perito Moreno is closer to El Calafate and Viedma is closer to El Chalten and they are a few hours by bus from each other. Also, what company did you get your glacier trek through? I saw you said you booked it once you got there, but I would like to at least look at prices and whatnot online so if you have more info that would be really helpful.
Thanks!

Hi Sherry! Excellent article and thanks for the input. I was wondering whether to do the hike in PM or Viedma. My incline is to go for the Viedma one, but I just realised the age restriction, my kids are 11 years old, so we’ll be restricted to Perito Moreno. I’m sure it’ll be wonderful anyway. Can you recommend any other hikes for adventurous kids in El Chalten?
