Go before it ends
Go before it ends. Due to global warming, the glacier is shrinking year by year. But the view of that ice mass is still impressive. Don't miss it.

Great tour
Great tour. The boat trip was the best part, you get so close to the glacier. Nat was a fantastic guide and explained everything. The whole tour was well organised, we were picked up around 10am and dropped back at 18:00. Thank you

Magnífico
This was such a wonderful trip. We got lucky with the weather because it was outstandingly clear and sunny for this region, but we were so impressed by Martín’s knowledge and passion for the glacier. We learned a lot from him and this was an unforgettable day. He’s a great teacher. Juan got us back to El Calafate very swiftly. Thank you so much.

Excellent agency!
Whenever we travel south we take excursions with this agency, and once again everything went perfectly. Highly recommended. A point to highlight is that we made all inquiries and reservations through the corporate WhatsApp and everything worked perfectly. PS: Special mention to Ana the guide who accompanied us.

A unique experience at the end of the world!
This wasn’t my first trip to the park. We visited several years back. The thing that made it special was returning and getting up close on board a boat! It was a wonderful addition t the already spectacular experience. We loved it! And who knows….we might just do it again!

On the way to El Calafate and the Perito Moreno Galcier
Since this is such a popular tour, it is well run and efficient. I would always take the boat option up to the face of the glacier. The tour guides are friendly and always willing to answer all my questions, good experience.
