The Perito Moreno Glacier Tour with Safari Azul is the perfect choice for anyone wanting to experience the Perito Moreno Glacier up close. You can either choose the option with transfers from El Calafate or arrive at the port on your own. The tour includes a 20-minute boat ride across the Brazo Rico of Lake Argentino, followed by a 30-minute walk through the Patagonian forest until you reach the glacier’s edge (note: you won’t be walking on the ice). You’ll have some free time to take in the breathtaking views before heading back along the same trail. The return boat ride takes you along the front of the glacier’s impressive southern wall. If you choose the transfer option, the tour also includes a stop at the Perito Moreno walkways before heading back to El Calafate.

What To Expect

El Calafate

Pick-up in El Calafate If you chose the pick-up option, you’ll be picked up from your lodging in El Calafate at the scheduled time. Once the entire group is assembled, you’ll head to Los Glaciares National Park. Meeting and boarding at Puerto Bajo Las Sombras If you opted out of the pick-up, you’ll need to make your own way to Puerto Bajo Las Sombras, located within Los Glaciares National Park. From there, you’ll board a boat to cross Lago Rico. After about a 20-minute ride, you’ll get off on the opposite side, right at the glacier’s edge.

Get your camera ready to capture the stunning shades of blue and white and the glacier’s unique formations. When you reach the glacier’s edge, you’ll have free time to soak it all in and take photos. Afterward, you’ll return to the boat following the same path. *The hike takes about an hour and a half and goes over natural terrain with sand, rocks, some inclines, and stairs.

Excellent!!!!! so much cuter than all glaciers ... here you touch the Perito Moreno glacier, you sail seeing the walls, you walk the coast over the brunettes and explain everything very well

Great tour, informative guides. Plenty of time allowed on viewing platform walkways and long walk alongside glacier after the boat ride traversed the face of the glacier. Allowed us to see the glacier from every angle and to understand why this is deservedly such a popular site. Very professional driver who drove comfortably.
A wonder from another world
