- El Calafate - Enjoy a relaxing journey on a comfortable coach along the picturesque Route 11, which follows the shores of Lago Argentino. During the trip, the guide will provide intriguing information about the park’s diverse wildlife and the importance of Perito Moreno as part of the expansive Patagonian Ice Fields, one of the largest fresh water reserves in the world.
- Los Glaciares National Park - Experience your first breathtaking view of Perito Moreno at the ‘Curve of Sighs’—a scenic bend in the road offering sweeping panoramic views of the glacier and the surrounding landscape. Here, you’ll begin to grasp the enormity of the glacier’s 60-meter-high (196-foot) front wall, which descends into the waters of Lago Argentino.
- Perito Moreno Glacier - Proceed to the park’s renowned glacier walkways, which provide stunning, multi-level viewing platforms. From these vantage points, you’ll be able to enjoy panoramic views of the glacier from various angles and heights. Capture amazing photos of the glacier’s jagged ice formations, towering cliffs, and the surrounding Patagonian scenery.
- Lago Argentino - For a closer experience with the glacier, opt for the boat ride from Puerto Bajo Las Sombras. Sail across the Rico Arm of Lake Argentino, navigating between floating icebergs as you approach the towering ice face. As you get closer, watch for the spectacular ice calving—a dramatic natural event when chunks of ice break off and crash into the water below.
- Pasarelas Perito Moreno - After visiting the glacier, take some free time to relax, explore the area, or enjoy lunch at one of the nearby restaurants with views of the glacier. The surrounding scenery is equally captivating, with majestic mountains, lakes, and forests providing a stunning backdrop.
Return to El Calafate After a day filled with natural wonders, board the coach for the return trip to El Calafate, where your adventure concludes.

Lovely day to view the Glacier and the park - Seem to have dealt with alot of companies on this trip; Tangol, Gigantes Patagones, and the tour operator on the day seemed to be Tiempolibre who supplied the coaches and tour guide. Prompt pickup at my hotel and a bus feeder transfer to a coach outside El Calafate. Was booked to do the optional boat ride at 10AM with balcones after. You can also buy the park ticket at the park entrance 45,000 ars with cash or card. Toilet breaks along the way, and there is a Cafe at the glacier centre. After getting our boat tickets we were then told the boat had departed, and the boat was cancelled until 1PM. So we did the balcones first. No big deal. Stunning glacier and good narration in English. I would recommend this trip.

Must do tour! - Tudor was an excellent company to work with. I had personnel changes to make and it was done smoothly. The communication was above expectations. Very quick to respond, thorough. Anna was our guide to the park and her English was excellent. She answered all our questions thoroughly. We had enough time on our own to Tori the glacier boardwalk viewpoints and get a bite. The cafeteria was packed so it was good we brought our own snacks and avoided the cafeteria which was warm anyway. Bathrooms at the park were good. The boat tour was very good. The crew was organized and safely boarded and deboarded us. The captain gave us good views. Melody was good in her explanation and English. Tudor vehicle was modern and comfortable. Group size was under 20 and a good size so we got in and out of stops quickly.

Simply a must-do experience - This is a must-do, and you MUST book the optional boat tour. We warned - the weather between El Calafate and the glacier can be very different - prepare for cooler and possibly wet weather. Even if you think you would not be interested in seeing the glacier, once you are there, you will be glad you went.

Good But Crowded on Boat - Great scenery the boat went as close as allowed and we had great weather. Downside, so crowded on the boat and some people are so focused on taking selfies for a very long time not caring there are other people waiting for photo opportunities

Great experience, but expensive compared to local price - Only get the package for transportation, do not add the optional boat tour through Viator. It is twice the cost as the price you would pay locally if you want to add it on later at the day of travel. Viator contracts a local company and the local company allows to add the boat tour for anyone who wants to do it. The on the spot cost is ARS 65,000 which is about $45, way less than the $100 that Viator charges.
Apart from that the glaciers itself are amazing and a must visit! We had an amazing time, and got to see them upclose, and also break and fall off

Impressive glacier - The Perito Moreno Glacier is impressive and absolutely worth seeing and we had great weather. So it was a great experience. The 1 - sinful boat trip is also recommended, as you can see the glacier from a different perspective, which is equally impressive.
However, you should NEVER book the tour in advance with shipping, because you pay way too much for that here! The ticket for shipping can be purchased locally for 64,000 ARS, what on the trip to. Glacier was still offered. I should have r. 40€ saved!! That's inappropriate. In addition, you should compare prices from other providers, which were also even cheaper.
