Departs from the hotels in the morning to travel the 80 kilometers tha stands along “El Calafate” and “Perito Moreno” glacier, the only one left in the world that keeps moving forward. During our trip we’ll meet Andean foothill’s beautiful places passing right next to Argentine lake. After crossing Centinela and Mitre rivers we’ll arrive at “Brazo Rico” to enter the Glaciers National Park. The icebergs floating in the water will start to appear while bordering the “Lago Rico” till we can finally appreciate the whole magnitude of the natural wonder that has been declared by the ONU as humanity heritage. Also we have time to walk the different paths that the runway has and to eat at the restaurant turning back to El Calafate.

AMAZING.
Anything written about this place would be redundant and insufficient. It is a dream landscape, where nature is the protagonist. The trails are easy to follow and everywhere there is a new perspective on the site. I recommend the orange walkways, which have the best views. A true global natural wonder. One of those places where you have to go once in your life. In my case it was the fourth time.
The only “spot” is that at the entrance to the Park there are no open businesses to buy water or snacks.

Unmissable and unique
Describing this icon of planet Earth is impossible. You have to go and experience it in person. It is the majestic and solemn silence, only pierced suddenly by the roar of the blue ice breaking and sinking into the turquoise waters of Lake Argentino, or walking in total silence among the murmur of the water and birds, hypnotized by tremendous beauty. It is a feeling of total excess. Exciting to tears. The walkways give different perspectives, all incredible. The boat rides, the walks on the glacier, everything is incredible and unmissable. It has to be done. There is an excellent cell phone signal, to make video calls to everyone and try to share even a little the emotion of being there.

Wonderful experience at the Perito Moreno Glacier
We hired the Glacier Trekking excursion through Hielo y Aventura.
They picked us up at the hotel at the agreed time. We sail to the Glacier.
Then, equipped with crampons and helmets, we walked on the Glacier.
The experience exceeded all of our expectations. The landscape is sublime and unlike anything one has previously known.
The immensity of nature is magnificent.
The Ice and Adventure team deserves a separate chapter. Micaela and Diego guiding us during the bus trip driven by Pablo.
Then on the walk the professionalism and warmth of Vicky and Gabriel. Congratulations!

Nature's bounty
Wonderful setting, it is the second time we have gone and it never ceases to surprise. It is worth the walk on the glacier, the navigations on Lago Argentino are worth it and the walkways are worth it. A gift from nature. And if you also get a driver like Sergio and a guide like Amneris Sanguedolce, (Prestige Tourism), on the excursion, you receive a free history, geography, botany and zoology class, in addition to a lot of cordiality and friendliness.

Exciting
We visited Los Glaciares National Park. The park has a cost to enter. Very beautiful place that allows you to see the glacier from the walkways and enjoy the landslides. Wonderful experience.

Very nice day
The entrance costs $2500 for Argentines and you can go up to 72 hours later once again and they will charge you half. When you arrive at the parking lot, it is advisable to take the free van that takes you up (it leaves all the time). This way you don't have to climb as many stairs during the visit as if you were starting from the bottom (from the side of the beach and the restaurant), which is everything on the rise. When you get to the top you take the path on the left side, you take the entire red path that you start at the bottom and then you go up and turn around and there you take the orange one that you go to the right. That one ends on the beach. With this circuit you will see the glacier from all perspectives. The restaurant is open until 4 p.m. and there is an indoor area for pedestrians.

Amazing
Wonderful place, with lots of options. From walking on the walkways to boat approaches or glacier walks. An interesting option is to rent a vehicle and go on your own, with more freedom in your schedule.
