What makes Perito Moreno Glacier Day Trip with Optional Boat Ride a unique experience ?
Relax aboard a comfortable coach as you travel along the scenic Route 11, which skirts the shores of Lago Argentino. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights into the park’s diverse wildlife and the significance of Perito Moreno as part of the vast Patagonian Ice Fields, one of the world's largest reserves of fresh water.
Your first dramatic view of Perito Moreno comes at the 'Curve of Sighs'—a scenic turn in the road offering sweeping panoramic vistas of the glacier and the surrounding landscape. From here, you’ll begin to appreciate the immensity of the glacier’s 60-meter-high (196-foot) front wall, which plunges into the waters of Lago Argentino.
Continue to the park's iconic glacier walkways, which offer stunning, multi-level viewing platforms. From these strategic spots, you'll be able to take in panoramic views of the glacier from various angles and elevations. Capture incredible photos of the glacier's jagged ice formations, towering cliffs, and the surrounding Patagonian landscape.
For a closer encounter with the glacier, take the optional boat ride from Puerto Bajo Las Sombras. Set sail across the Rico Arm of Lake Argentino, navigating between floating icebergs as you approach the towering ice face. As you get up close, watch for spectacular ice calving—a dramatic natural event when chunks of ice break off and crash into the water below.
After your visit to the glacier, enjoy some free time to relax, explore the area, or have lunch at one of the nearby restaurants offering views of the glacier. The surrounding scenery is equally captivating, with majestic mountains, lakes, and forests providing a stunning backdrop. Return to El Calafate After a day filled with natural wonders, you'll board the coach for the return trip to El Calafate, where your adventure concludes.
