Highlights
  • El Calafate - Your own private guide and transport vehicle will pick you up at your hotel to head towards Los Glaciares National Park (entrance fees are an additional cost).
  • Lago Argentino - Driving along the scenic Route 11, which runs alongside the main course of Lago Argentino on the way to Brazo Rico.
  • Los Glaciares National Park - Once at the park, you will stop at “Curva de los Suspiros” to take a first look to the Perito Moreno Glacier, certainly an amazing view.

The next stop will be at “Muelle bajo las Sombras,” where you’ll board a boat (shared service) that will take you on an up-close visit to the stunning Perito Moreno ice walls. You’ll get close enough to contemplate its immensity and to observe the ice landslides that continually shear off the main glacier. As you get to the front wall, the boat will stop for a few minutes to get a better look at the landscape, giving you a good opportunity to take interesting photos and film the scene.

  • Pasarelas Perito Moreno - Then the boat will drop you off at a nearby network of catwalks within view of Perito Moreno, allowing you to see this imposing glacier from several balconies located at different heights and angles, each more beautiful than the last one.

Enjoy some free time to walk around or, if you wish to, get lunch at any of the restaurants near the runways or the one you brought.

  • El Calafate - Back to El Calafate, you will be returned to you hotel around 5:00pm.

Perito Moreno Glacier, phenomenal experience - The stunning Perito Moreno Glacier. We did the boat tour and all the walks (red, yellow and blue) well worth doing them all as they give a slightly different perspective of the glacier. Luciana was brilliant, she was so knowledgeable and a lovely friendly person allowing us to go at our own pace, imparting little nuggets of information all the way. She even recommended the fantastic La Tablita for supper which was a lovely authentic Patagonian restaurant. A memorable day.

Finding unexpected warmth at the foot of the glacier - Reserving this package was easy via email, with friendly service. This package is a bit of an investment, but we don't regret it for a moment, including the boat ride which gave a different perspective from the walkways and was an excellent add-on. Soledad was our (fully-certified) guide and she was nothing short of amazing. So knowledgeable, friendly, and with excellent English. Whether geology, biology, history of any other aspect of this breath-taking area, Solly knew it all and was able to explain to us clearly and with insight. This package includes a driver, which allowed us to have non-stop conversation during the trip to and from the glacier. Her love of this region was contagious and added to our experience. Bonus: although we'd asked many others, Solly gave us the most thorough understanding of the mate tradition and even shared her personal brew with us. We never thought our day at the glacier would be filled with such warmth!

Fantastic day trip - This was a highlight of my time in Argentina. It's difficult to describe the glacier and the landscape. You've just got to see it. The walk through the forest is on platforms, easily walkable. For point of reference, I'm 60 with an arthritic knee and I had no problems with it at all. The views are spectacular. On the boat.... don't worry about getting a window seat when you board. Instead, get a seat near to the exit. About 5 minutes offshore the captain says that you can go aboveboard and that's really where you want to be anyway. The boat lingers for 30-45 minutes giving you ample time to take pics of the glacier and hope that you catch a chunk of ice falling. Great trip.
