We pick you up at your accommodation in El Calafate and head for Los Glaciares National Park, 80 km from town. The road runs along Lake Argentino and we make two stops to photograph the first views of the lake and Bahía Redonda.
Once in the park you will have two hours on the walkways facing the Perito Moreno Glacier. The circuit is about 4 km long, with viewpoints at different heights, and the closest point is roughly 300 metres from the glacier front — close enough to hear the ice break before you see it fall.
You then have one free hour for lunch. You can bring your own food or buy it at the restaurant inside the park.
We drive back to El Calafate and drop you at your accommodation. The whole activity lasts around eight hours.
Bring your ID card or passport: it is required to enter the park.

We will travel by bus from El Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier an average distance of 80 km along a paved road.
Leaving the town of El Calafate, to the right we can see Lake Argentino with its Redonda Bay. In it you can see an important variety of avifauna, highlighting the black-necked swan, flamingo, steam duck and cauquenes.
In the first 40 kilometers the Patagonian steppe is crossed, passing later to the entrance of the National Park from where we will begin to observe the arboreal vegetation belonging mostly to the “notofagus” family (ñires, sour cherries, lengas), flowers of different colors , among which the notro stands out for its intense red color.
Once in the walkway area in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier, we see the majesty that strikes the eyes of the traveler and recovered from the amazement, we will walk the stairs to obtain different views of the front of the 5-kilometer-long glacier.
You will have the permanent assistance of our guides who accompany the travelers throughout the entire route.
