Description

Join us on an unforgettable journey to Perito Moreno Glacier. Throughout the tour, you'll be accompanied by an expert guide who speaks both English and Spanish. Stunning scenery: Embark on an 80-kilometer (50-mile) adventure to the Perito Moreno Glacier, where you'll witness breathtaking views of the Patagonian steppe, lush forests, and the glacier itself. Get up close and personal with the Perito Moreno Glacier as you walk along the 5-kilometer (3-mile) network of walkways, descending to within 300 meters (984 feet) of the glacier's face. We'll pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate and head towards the Perito Moreno Glacier. Along the way, you'll admire the vastness of the Patagonian steppe, including Lago Argentino and Bahía Redonda. Upon entering Los Glaciares National Park, your guide will explain the park's regulations and safety guidelines and you must pay the entrance fee. During the remaining 23 kilometers (14 miles), we'll make stops for panoramic photos and your first glimpses of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Arrive at the Perito Moreno Glacier and embark on an unforgettable walk along the pasarelas (walkways). Your guide will accompany the group to the main glacier balcony. From the main balcony, just 146 meters (480 feet) from the walkways' entrance, you'll be awestruck by panoramic views of the glacier's north and south faces, as well as the ice accumulation zone. Continue along the walkways, stopping at each of the balconies to marvel at the majesty of this icy giant. Enjoy a delicious lunch at the on-site restaurant or snack bar before heading back to El Calafate. (optional)
