Note: They cannot bring fruit or raw food, the sandwich on the other hand if they prepare it with ham and cheese are foods that are processed and have no problem taking them, as well as being food for the day. Is it important to bring Argentine money or do you accept other types of money or can you pay with Card Inside the Park? As a recommendation, we ask each passenger to carry Argentine money from here in Puerto Natales, since it is a park that is far from the city so they have no way to collect payments with cards, in addition, taking the money from here the entry process is faster, more efficient and they have time to do activities inside the Park National Perito Moreno, "every minute matters a lot" Where can I change money? Within Puerto Natales there are many exchange houses so searching and buying is easy (we do not have an agreement with none), the important thing is that you buy up to one day before the trip, because if we take into account the time of departure of the bus, finding something at that time is impossible, that is why, it is better to order and buy in advance, the money will go to them Keep calm, enjoying the trip and the Incredible Landscape that the Perito Moreno Glacier has. It's a long tour, but it's worth it
