What you can expect

  • The tour begins with pick-up from your hotel, accompanied by a guide, heading towards Los Glaciares National Park. We will take the picturesque Route 11, which runs along the main body of Lake Argentino towards the Rico Arm. It is interesting to note that this glacier, along with the others, is part of the Patagonian Continental Ice, making it one of the most important sources of drinking water in the world.

    Once we arrive at the park, we will head towards the Curve of Sighs, where we will step out of the vehicle to observe the Perito Moreno Glacier for the first time, which is undoubtedly an awe-inspiring sight. Later on, we will make another stop at the Under the Shadows Pier, where those willing can take a boat tour to get closer to the southern wall of the glacier (optional).

    We will then continue to the front walkways of the glacier, where we will observe it from several balconies located at different heights, allowing us to appreciate it from various angles, each more astonishing than the previous one.

    Finally, we will have free time to witness the different ice calvings, and those who wish can enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants near the walkways. In the afternoon, we will begin the return journey to El Calafate, where we will drop you off at your hotel.
