Itinerary and highlights
Experience the majesty of Patagonia’s glaciers on a full-day trip from Buenos Aires. Fly to El Calafate, explore the Perito Moreno Glacier walkways, and enjoy a boat ride on Lake Rico. Includes flights, transfers, and guide.
The Nautical Safari is an unforgettable experience in front of the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier. For one hour, the boat sails from Brazo Rico to the southern end of the Icebergs Channel, offering a unique and unmatched perspective of the glacier. Its towering 60-meter walls are as impressive as the glacier’s distinctive blue hue, the result of a rare optical effect. The thunderous sound of ice breaking is a natural concert that stirs the soul. The captain pauses for photos—but also for silence, inviting you to disconnect and feel the overwhelming power of nature. Icebergs floating on Lake Argentino complete this breathtaking scene.
Explore the walkways of the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of Argentina’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Located in Los Glaciares National Park, these elevated trails offer privileged views of the glacier’s towering ice wall from various angles and levels. As you walk along the circuit, you may hear the powerful roar of ice breaking off and crashing into the lake below — a truly unforgettable sight. The experience is self-guided, accessible, and suitable for all ages, allowing you to enjoy it at your own pace and capture stunning photos of this Patagonian giant.
Enjoy an unforgettable lunch inside Los Glaciares National Park, surrounded by stunning scenery. With views of the glacier and Patagonian forest, each bite becomes a unique experience in the heart of nature.
