Itinerary

  1. El Calafate

    one hour

    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).

  2. Lago Argentino

    5 min

    Driving along the scenic Route 11, which runs alongside the main course of Lago Argentino on the way to Brazo Rico.

  3. Los Glaciares National Park

    2 hours

    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.

  4. Pasarelas Perito Moreno

    4 hours Admission not included

    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.
