However, each season offers a unique spectacle, and the view of the glacier under the light of a full moon is breathtaking at any time of year.

The excursion typically includes transportation from your accommodation in El Calafate to Los Glaciares National Park, park entrance fees, a guided walk along footbridges offering panoramic views of the glacier, and a unique experience to experience the glacier from a different perspective under the moonlight. It also often includes a typical Patagonian dinner, making this experience a complete integrated tourism package, ideal for those seeking immersion in the region's landscapes and flavors.

Aventura nocturna en El Calafate

¡Qué experiencia alucinante! El tour al Glaciar Perito Moreno con luna llena fue simplemente mágico. La vista del glaciar iluminado por la luna es algo que no se puede describir con palabras, ¡es algo que hay que vivir! Nuestro guía fue súper amable y nos dio todos los detalles curiosos sobre el glaciar. Además, el transporte fue cómodo y puntual. Si tienen la oportunidad de hacerlo, no lo duden. ¡Una noche que no olvidaré jamás!

Experiência mágica na Geleira Perito Moreno

Cara, o tour à Geleira Perito Moreno com lua cheia foi simplesmente inesquecível! A vista da geleira iluminada pela luz da lua é mágica. A organização do passeio foi impecável, e a equipe super atenciosa. Não tem preço experimentar essa maravilha natural de perto e ainda com esse toque especial da lua. Recomendo demais para quem vem à Patagônia. Foi um dos meus momentos favoritos de toda a viagem. Valeu cada centavo!

Magische Mondnacht am Gletscher erleben

Der Perito Moreno Gletscher bei Vollmond ist einfach atemberaubend! Die Tour war perfekt organisiert und unser Guide war super freundlich und informativ. Der Anblick des Gletschers im Mondschein ist unglaublich schön und das Knacken des Eises ist ein Erlebnis, das man nicht vergisst. Es war eine magische Nacht in der Natur! Definitiv ein Muss, wenn du in El Calafate bist.
