Overview

We will begin our day with a transfer from your accommodation in El Calafate to Los Glaciares National Park. Along Route 11, you'll see the Patagonian steppe with its unique flora and fauna, and the majestic Lake Argentino. Our expert guides will share the region’s history, ecology, and geology, unveiling its secrets.

Upon entering the park, we’ll stop at the Mirador de los Suspiros for your first view of Brazo Rico and the imposing south face of Perito Moreno Glacier. We will explore the park’s 5-kilometer trail network, offering panoramic views that will leave you breathless.

For an even closer look, an optional boat ride (if selected) takes you near the glacier’s towering walls, where you may witness its spectacular icefalls.

After this unforgettable experience, we will return to El Calafate, filled with memories of one of the world’s most amazing natural treasures.
