About this tour
The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel, followed by a guided drive to Los Glaciares National Park. We'll travel along the scenic Route 11 , which skirts the shores of Lake Argentino on the way to Brazo Rico. It's worth noting that this glacier, along with others, forms part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, making it one of the world's most important sources of drinking water.
Once we arrive at the park, we'll head towards the Curve of Sighs , where we'll get out of the vehicle to see the Perito Moreno Glacier for the first time—a truly breathtaking sight. Later, we'll make another stop at the Lower Shadows Pier so that those who are interested can take a boat trip to get a closer look at the glacier's south face (optional).
We will continue towards the front walkways of the glacier, where we will observe it from several balconies located at different heights, allowing us to appreciate it from different angles, each one more amazing than the last.
Finally, we'll have free time to view the various rockfalls, and those who wish can enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants near the walkways. In the afternoon, we'll begin our return to El Calafate, where we'll drop you off at your hotel.
