Highlights
Reaching Perito Moreno Glacier from El Calafate involves an 80-kilometer journey, but the scenery starts well before the walkways. A bilingual guide accompanies the shared tour for up to 18 travelers through Patagonian landscapes, including Lake Argentino, forests, streams, and snow-capped mountains. At Los Glaciares National Park, walk the viewing platforms at your own pace, with time for photos from the Main and Lower Balconies.

Itinerary
During the 80km (50-mile) journey toward the glacier, you will admire the Patagonian landscape from the very beginning: Lake Argentino with its Redonda Bay, streams, forests, snow-capped mountains, and low mountain ranges. A bilingual guide will accompany you throughout the entire trip, providing necessary and interesting information to help you enjoy the journey and learn about the history. Before reaching Los Glaciares National Park, you will make a stop for the first panoramic views. Travelers must pay the ticket at the gate, where the route leading to the walkways begins. The exploration of the walkways is self-guided until the designated meeting time, providing enough time to walk at your own pace and take photos from the various viewing platforms. The Main Balcony: Featuring the best views of the glacier walls, it is located very close to the entrance. The Lower Balcony: This is the closest point to the glacier front and is located 400 meters (about 0.25 miles) from the start.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts, for a full refund.

About El Calafate
El Calafate is a small Patagonian town on the shore of Lago Argentino, the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park.
El Calafate lies on the south shore of Lago Argentino, a milky turquoise lake fed by glacial meltwater, with the Andes on the western horizon. The town is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with dark berries, and a local saying promises that anyone who eats them will return to Patagonia. It was founded in the 1920s to serve the surrounding sheep estancias and now exists chiefly as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
