Itinerary
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).
Driving along the scenic Route 11, which runs alongside the main course of Lago Argentino on the way to Brazo Rico.
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.
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.
Back to El Calafate, you will be returned to you hotel around 5:00pm.

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.
