Perito Moreno Glacier Day Trip with Optional Boat Ride from El Calafate
Visit the stunning Perito Moreno glacier on this full-day trip from El Calafate. Ride via coach to Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to explore the park's scenic lookouts and walkways to see the glacier from a multitude of different angles. Opt for a boat ride along Perito Moreno's dramatic front side for additional spectacular views of the icy giant.
What you'll see & do
- ✓The tour will start with the pick up from your hotel located in the centre of El Calafate.
- ✓We arrived at the famous Los Glaciares National Park. The National Park includes a scenario of mountains, lakes and forests, a large portion of the Andes Mountains covered with ice and snow to the west and the arid Patagonian steppe to the east. We will go to Curva de los Suspiros, where we will see the Perito Moreno Glacier for the first time, a beautiful view.Then, we will make another stop in Muelle Bajo Las Sombras for the ones who want to to the boat ride (optional). If you choose the boat ride option, step aboard and sail across the Rico arm of Lake Argentino. Then, have your camera ready as you sail between floating ice close to the majestic 196-foot (60 meter) high front wall. Gaze up at the towering cliffs and watch spellbound as chunks of ice crash into the water — an unforgettable sight. We will continue to the glacier frontal walkways, where we will observe the glacier from various balconies located in different heights allowing us to appreciate it from different perspectives, each one more surprising than the previous one. Follow the boardwalks to strategically placed viewing platforms to witness the glacier from all angles and levels, and admire the surrounding mountain and forest scenery. For close-up views of Perito’s south face, visit the footbridge directly in front of the glacier. Take close-up photos and listen for the eerie creaks that precede the regular calving — when chunks of ice rupture and fall into the lake in a crashing spectacle.
- ✓Finally we will have free time to watch the glacier melt. If you want, you can have lunch in some of the restaurants close to the walkways. During the afternoon, we will go back to your hotel in Calafate.
