Los Glaciares National Park Tour
- Meet the tour guide and depart at 09:00 am from your accommodation to begin the Perito Moreno Glacier excursion, accompanied throughout the journey by a bilingual guide from Los Glaciares National Park.
- Travel 80 km to the walkways in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
- Start the tour, and towards the right of the road, you can see Argentino Lake and its Redonda Bay. In the first 50 km, the Patagonian steppe dominates the landscape. Within Los Glaciares National Park, tree vegetation predominates, mostly belonging to the Nothofagus family (Lengas, Ñires, Coihues de Magallanes).
- Stop to take panoramic photos and the first views of the Moreno Glacier.
- Arrive and explore the area of the catwalks, and the guide will explain the options of circuits that are possible to travel.
- Try the walk on the catwalks, which is free. However, the guide will accompany the group to the main balcony and will remain to assist. The walkways have an extension of 5 km and are made up of stairways that descend to approach about 300 meters from the front of the glacier. Combine this tour with a boat ride. During one hour, you will sail through the Rich Branch of Lake Argentino at a distance of 150 meters from the south face of the glacier.
- Return to the hotel in Calafate city centre.
Note: Please note that you must pay for the entrance to the Park. The guide will also explain the rules of behaviour within the National Park.
