Perito Moreno Glacier Walkways

Departure from your hotel in El Calafate, along route Nro. 11, bordering Lake Argentino. From the beginning, the trip offers pleasant surprises such as the Round Bay. There you can appreciate an important variety of bird life, especially the black-necked swan, flamingo, steamer duck, coot, and cauquen. The yellow color of the field stands out, this is due to its grasses called coirón, and among them, the white and small coirón stands out. From El Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier is a distance of 80 km (50 miles) on a fully paved road. In the first 40 km you will cross the Patagonian steppe, passing later to the entrance of the National Park to observe the arboreal vegetation belonging mostly to the “nothofagus” family (ñires, guindos, lengas) and one or another cinnamon tree, and flowers of different colors, among which the notro stands out for its intense red color, corresponding to the Andean Patagonian Forest. At the entrance to Los Glaciares National Park there is a statue of the renowned aviator Pluschow. Arrival to “the curve of the sighs” called this way because it is the first point from where we have a panoramic view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Short stop to take pictures. Arrival to the footbridges where you can appreciate the majesty of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Walk along the walkways to appreciate it from different perspectives and a variety of shades of blue and light blue colors. Where we will have a service area for visitors and a system of balconies and wide walkways that allow hiking through different routes and access to different truly indescribable views of the Glacier surrounded by mountains of the Andes and at the foot of it, the beautiful view of Lake Argentino, with its beautiful colors. From the proximity to it. Optional: Navigation in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier This navigation gives us the possibility of observing the majestic walls of the glacier and its continuous collapse of blocks known as giant icebergs on the waters of the lake from a totally different and enlarged perspective. Once in front of the wall, the boat stops for a few minutes to observe and appreciate the landscape in more detail. On our way back to the port we headed towards the gangways. You can choose to bring your own lunch or buy food at the restaurant located inside the park.
