Today enjoy a full day group tour to Perito Moreno glacier, located within The Glaciers National Park, 80 km from El Calafate. Here, the Perito Moreno Glacier, a huge river of ice 30 km long with a snout 5 km wide, descends from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field to Lago Argentino.

A walk along the paths in front of its western wall allows you to admire this natural wonder from different viewpoints. If you like you may also take an optional one-hour boat trip to enjoy views of the glacier wall from lake level, allowing you to gain a better idea of the height of its peaks and towers.
