Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina’s Patagonia region is one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, and the Perito Moreno Glacier is the undisputed star of the show. Forming part of the Southern Patagonia Ice Field, the third largest reserve of fresh water on the planet after Antarctica and Greenland, its dimensions are astounding.

Amazing experience!

I can't say enough nice things about the team. A friend and I used their services for an 8-day trip to Argentina. During that time, we visited Iguazu Falls, El Calafate, and Buenos Aires, where we caught a Boca Juniors match. Amazing experience. We really appreciate how they personalize the itinerary to your liking. Everything from the hotels to the transfer services to the tours were wonderful. Thank you, Patricio, Antonella, and Florencia.

I would like to return to South America and I will most certainly try to work with the team

Top notch service from this company which I chose for our Argentina trip because they're based in Buenos Aires and have a focus on South America. Clara Gonzalez crafted an experience perfectly in line with our request and did so quickly and accurately. Antonella Pascarelli provided us with the expert support we needed before and during the trip. She informed us of needed documentation, answered detailed questions about hotels and restaurants, handled all hotel stays accurately and made dinner reservations at our choice of restaurants. Land transfers were crucial to our moving about the country and the app included necessary information about that. The guides (Diana in Buenos Aires; Shoam in El Chalten) were both well informed, efficient and personable. I'm glad Antonella knew which companies with whom to work. When we were in country, I received daily emails from Antonella checking in on how things were going and making sure we were on track with the next phase of the trip. I would like to return to South America and I will most certainly try to work with with them.

We had a fantastic experience

We had a fantastic experience working with Florencia and Mery from the team! From the very beginning, they were true partners in helping us craft an itinerary that felt personalized and well-balanced. Communication throughout the planning process (and during the trip itself) was also excellent. They were always responsive and proactive, and we especially appreciated the valuable updates they provided while we were traveling. For example, when a transportation strike unexpectedly happened during our trip, they stepped in to help us navigate the situation and adjust our plans smoothly. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, well-supported travel planning!

It was a trip we will treasure forever

We absolutely loved our trip to El Calafate Patagonia. It was fantastic in every way we are so grateful for Joaquina and her team for making it such a smooth and unforgettable experience from planning to execution. Everything was seamless. One of the highlights was being able to visit our son who is studying abroad for the semester and taking him to experience the incredible Patagonia steps and glaciers. We fell in love with Argentina and can’t wait to come back. Thank you again for everything. It was a trip we will treasure forever

I would highly-recommend utilizing them as they are very knowledgeable and responsive

Milagros and Marcela from SayHueque helped me plan a fantastic 10-day Essential Of Patagonia trip (mostly Argentina and 1 leg in Chile) and made the trip very smooth and easy to customize based on my preferences. For first-timers to the region, i would highly-recommend utilizing them as they are very knowledgeable and responsive. The Laguna de los Tres, Perito Moreno glacier, and the Torres del Paine Mirador hikes were sublime and unforgettable!! I would opt for "hard" hikes if possible to see the most, and try it out at least, and if not you can always tell your guide that it is too difficult and they will modify the path during the trek.

It was like having our own personal concierge, definitely not the normal travel agent experience.

The team lead by Antonella and Julia were absolutely amazing! I strongly recommend them. Sometimes you visit a place and you are not that interested in returning....Argentina is not the place for us! We can't wait to go back and work with Julia and Antonella again. Every recommendation they made was a great fit for us. The foodie tour, the Asado BBQ cooking school, the Tango show...were all so well done (5 stars). The hotels, tour operators, and restaurant recommendations were perfect. It was such a pleasure landing at the airports and having someone meet us for the ground transfers. We didn't have to think about the basics. Antonella and Julia did that for us so we could focus on the things we wanted like the culture, the sights, the history, the food, and the warm people of Argentina. Antonella checked in on us almost daily and was very available for last minute changes and reservations. It was like having our own personal concierge, definitely not the normal travel agent experience.

Perito Moreno Glacier — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

The glacier is over 30km in length, 5km across and covers 250 sq. km — a greater area than Buenos Aires. The jagged face of the glacier rises precipitously to 70m above the water of Lake Argentino, dwarfing the tiny boats below. This is nature at its most spectacular, and a Perito Moreno day tour is an essential part of any trip to this part of the country.

Tour Highlights

  • Observe this inexorable river of ice from the safety of the viewing platform, and if you are lucky, witness great chunks of glacier calve off and crash into the icy waters below.
  • Take a short hike along the wooden walkways to see the glacier from different vantage points and be awed by its grace and power.
  • Stop off for a picnic and feel the glacier’s ominous presence as its icy ‘breath’ chills the surrounding air.
  • To appreciate the sheer scale of this gigantesque wall of ice, take a boat trip out onto Lake Argentino and admire the glacier from below while sipping a whisky poured over chunks of Perito Moreno ice.
  • For the ultimate adventure, join a Perito Moreno Glacier tour and hike out onto the glacier itself to become acquainted with this immense natural wonder at close quarters.

Travel Tips

  • Important: Perito Moreno glacier is NOT in Perito Moreno town. The settlement of the same name is not even in the same neighbourhood, lying around 600km further north!
  • Visiting Perito Moreno glacier starts at the nearby town of El Calafate, from where you can take a public bus. The journey is about 90 minutes, and at USD 30* return, is expensive by local standards.
  • Buses depart from the main bus terminal at 8:30 or 9:00 and return at 16:00. Make sure you remember which bus you are supposed to get on. You might want to take a photo of the bus to make sure you can find it later.
  • The bus will stop once for park rangers to board and issue tickets. The price is a little under USD 20* — make sure you are carrying enough Argentine pesos as it is not possible to pay by card.
  • Boat trips can be organised at the glacier in the office near the viewing platform and boardwalk.
  • You can hike out onto the glacier, either on a short Perito Moreno tour of one hour or a longer one lasting several hours. These trips involve a boat trip to reach the start point and require special equipment including crampons, so it is not possible to do it independently. For this reason, if you plan to walk on the glacier, you should book with a tour company.
  • Wrap up warm! One of the most impressive things about a huge body of ice like this is its ability to chill the surrounding air — so make sure you wear suitable clothing.
