Gerald is my friend... When he lives in Salta, he also displays its art (drawings and paintings) on the pedestrian street of Aribaldi. From 9 in the evening... Go there and have a look, it’s worth it !
Gerald est mon pote... Quand il vit a Salta, il en profite aussi pour exposer son art (dessins et peintures) dans la rue pietonne de Aribaldi. A partir de 9 heures du soir... Allez y et matez le tout, ca vaut le coup !
Thanks to the ranger... Grace au garde
... not only because they will tell you every warnings you have already listened to, but because they can show you the marvels of this Park, if you're nice enough with them... They will show you the birds you didn't even notices and they will tell you a lot about fauna and flora... And this is also working when you did not pay for a guided visit ! Give them a tip, they're so helpful.
... pas seulement parce qu'ils vont vous repeter les avertissements que vous connaissez deja, mais parce qu'ils peuvent vous montrer les merveilles de faune et de flore que recelle le Parc et a cote desquelles vous seriez passees, sans cela... Et pas besoin de faire une visite guidee pour beneficier de leurs precieux services ! Ils meritent un pourboire...

Seeing the "cataratas" from the Argentina side is not expensive, but prices have changed last November.
You must pay 30 pesos (10 USD) to enter the park, and then you are allowed to take the train and a small boat (just a transportation, no shower trip !) to Isla San Martin. If you want to come back the day after, validate your ticket before leaving, and you will pay only 15 pesos for your re-entrance...
Pas tres cher de voir les merveilleuses chutes du cote Argentin, mais les prix ont change en novembre dernier.
Maintenant, vous devez payer 30 pesos (10 USD) pour l'entree et vous aurez le droit au petit train gratuit ainsi qu'un passage (sans douche !) sur la Isla San Martin. Si vous voulez revenir le lendemain, faites valider votre ticket avant de partir et vous ne paierez que 15 pesos lors de votre retour.
Stef R. was here early ! Stef R. etait la tot !
If you want to go and watch the Moreno Glacier from El Calafate and if you are a more than 3 people group, this is really cheaper to rent a car : go to the rent-a-car on the right side of the village when facing the lakes (cheaper : from 108 to 117 pesos - 36 to 39 USD, without the 20 pesos for gasoline (200 Kilometers)). And another advice : go there really early (leave El Calafate around 5.45 in the morning), you will certainly be the firsts to arrive (and to leave) and youwill enjoy a wonderful sunrise ! Pros : it's cheaper (cheapest tours are about 70 pesos, entry of the Park (20 pesos) included) and you may leave whenever you want (and don't have to wait 4 hours and a half before coming back).
Si vous voulez visiter le Glacier et que vous etes plus de 3, il est beaucoup plus rentable de louer une caisse : allez aux agences de location qui se trouvent du cote droit du village quand on regarde les lacs (de 108 a 117 pesos - 36 a 39 USD, sans les 20 pesos d'essence a ajouter). Autre conseil : partir tot pour visiter le glacier (quittez El Calafate a 5.45 du matin), vous serez les premiers et profiterez seuls d'un superbe lever de soleil (et a repartir). Interet de tout ca : c'est moins cher (les tours les moins chers valent 70 pesos avec l'entree du parc a 20 pesos comprise) et on n'est pas obliges de rester des heures dans le coin...
