Overview

This 10-hour tour in El Calafate begins with an optional transfer from central hotels to Los Glaciares National Park. Upon arrival, participants board a boat for a 20-minute sailing on the South Arm of Lake Argentina, reaching the edge of the Perito Moreno Glacier. After disembarking, guides provide crampons and lead a one-hour minitrekking on the glacier. During the trek, participants walk over ice formations including crevasses, caves, melting pits, blue lagoons, and ice ridges. Following the minitrek, the group returns to the boat for another 20-minute sail along the glacier's front to view it from the water. The tour continues with a one-hour walk along the Pasarelas Perito Moreno, a network of walkways in the national park offering additional glacier views. At the end of the day, participants return by transfer to their accommodation in El Calafate if the transfer option was selected. The tour includes insurance and air-conditioned transport. Entrance fees to Los Glaciares National Park and meals are not included.
