Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation)
Description
From the beginning, the trip holds pleasant surprises. Leaving the town, to the right we can see Lake Argentino with its Redonda Bay. In it you can see an important variety of birds, highlighting the black-necked swan, flamingo, steam duck, coot, up-land goose. When we get to the Park we will have a panoramic view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Brief stop to take pictures and continue to Puerto Bajo las Sombras. Here you will board the boat for the Navigation through the southern arm of the Canal de los Témpanos to have different views of the wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. (Duration: 1 hour) Back at the Port, we go to the Footbridges where we will have a service sector for visitors and a system of balconies and footbridges that allow walks through different routes and access to different truly incredible views of the Glacier and its proximity. After some free time for walks and lunch (optional), the return to El Calafate begins.

An amazing experience! The guide, the driver and all the trip organised by Patagonia Tolkyen was top marks.
We are delighted to hear you had a great experience and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
An excellent trip, very well organised. They accommodated and helped with my last minute change of the meeting point The guide Katarina and the driver did have a great impact on the overall experience. The communication was very good. And we had enough time to enjoy the view of this awesome glacier.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re so glad we could assist with your last-minute change and that everything worked smoothly. Katarina and our driver will be happy to know they made a positive impact on your experience. It’s wonderful to hear you had enough time to truly enjoy the incredible glacier views. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
Our tour including tour leader and driver and schedule were so good. The only disappointment I had, the Aviator provided me tickets that mentioned our pick up time 8 am in front of hotel, but the tour did not arrive until 9:15 am. I noticed that tour was scheduled same time before; but I didn’t know why the Aviator did it wrong on tickets and did not notify me if there was any change.
Thank you for your feedback. Glad to know you enjoyed it. Regarding the pickup time we send 2 messages to every customer informing that the exact pickup time will be provided to the hotel front desk on the previous day of the tour after 7.00 pm. Thank you again for choosing our tour!
Our guide Katerine and driver Nicolas were very professional and made sure everyone understood the tour briefing. She showed numerous pictures to aid in understanding Patagonia, wildlife and the glacier itself. Wonderful sunny day and the boat trip is fantastic!!
Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear that Katerine and Nicolás were professional and helpful, and that you enjoyed the explanations, the sunny day, and the boat trip. We really appreciate you sharing your experience!
Just loved the footbridges and navigation. Both brought me closer to the glacier and we were lucky the sun was out and made everything sparkle more! The thing with this tour company is first they changed it to the afternoon instead of morning, then they told me they would pick me up at my accommodation…then they changed it and said I had to meet them 4 blocks from my place. So I went to the location 4 blocks from my place and they stopped at my place to look for me, then came to the place they told me I’d be picked up at 45 minutes after the time they told me. Also, they told me at 7 pm the night before that I needed to go pick up my park ticket from their office 6 blocks away. So, I don’t know if there is an organizational problem with the company or what? Once on the tour, the guide and driver were good and the tour was great.
Thank you for your visit and good to know that you had a great tour with us.
This tour was really great, pick up and drop off were both on time and efficient. Sebastian was a great guide and explained everything in English and Spanish. The scenery is beautiful and you get plenty of time on the boat and the foot bridge for photos. One of my favourite days so far!!
We appreciate your review and we are happy to know that you had a great day and enjoyed this tour.
How nice it is to travel, this trip was incredible but the most surprising thing is to hear the crush of the ice when it falls, the truth is it is a shame that the pieces of ice break up, but seeing them is something incredible and if you go on the catamaran and it falls One, the waves of the water and how they begin to move, it is a very beautiful sensation.
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios y nos alegra que lo hayas disfrutado. Saludos y hasta la próxima!
We had a sunny day so the colors were impressive, in our case we did not get to walk all the walkways, however you can spend hours from a single balcony contemplating that wonder. In our case the way of transfer was to rent a car, (marriage), we were cheaper than hiring a transfer or taxi
Wonderful!! It leaves you speechless. Makes you think about the need to take care of our resources Very well cared for and organized the visiting circuits.
What to say about one of the wonders of the world, impacts excites and makes you rethink your role against nature. We did the navigation on its north face and we could see several detachments, I did not plan to sail, but seeing such a mass of ice makes you want to pass it close. We Argentines are privileged to have such wonder.
