La p\u00e1gina web provincial del Gobierno argentino la describe como la puerta de entrada al Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, y el censo de 2022 contabiliz\u00f3 25.586 habitantes en todo el departamento del Lago Argentino, del que forma parte. Hay cinco cosas que la hacen famosa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>El glaciar.<\/strong> El Perito Moreno se encuentra dentro del Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, creado en 1937 y declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO desde 1981, seg\u00fan la APN. La oficina nacional de turismo describe amplias pasarelas situadas a diferentes alturas que forman un circuito de varios kil\u00f3metros, accesible para personas con movilidad reducida, y se\u00f1ala que el parque se puede visitar durante todo el a\u00f1o.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Las embarcaciones del lago Argentino.<\/strong> Los viajes en catamar\u00e1n cruzan el lago hasta los glaciares Upsala, Spegazzini y Viedma, y la oficina de turismo indica que las paredes del Spegazzini alcanzan los 135 m de altura. Salen de Puerto Bandera, a 47 km de la ciudad por las Rutas Provinciales 11 y 8, a unos 50 minutos por carretera.

El ente de turismo de Argentina sugiere dedicar al menos una semana a disfrutar de lo m\u00e1s destacado de la zona, y esa semana incluye El Chalt\u00e9n. Para El Calafate en s\u00ed, recomendamos dos o tres noches, y en las pr\u00f3ximas secciones te explicamos por qu\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es tan caro El Calafate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una parte del importe es fija y p\u00fablica, y otra parte no lo es. La parte fija corresponde a la entrada al parque, que la APN publica en pesos para Los Glaciares, con validez a partir del 1 de junio de 2026. La tabla la muestra en d\u00f3lares, convertida al tipo de cambio oficial del Banco Central de la Rep\u00fablica Argentina (BCRA) de 1.517 pesos por d\u00f3lar a fecha de 9 de octubre de 2026, por lo que las cifras deben considerarse como referencia para esa fecha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Entrada<\/th><th>Precio de referencia en USD<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Entrada diaria, tarifa general<\/td><td>unos 33 d\u00f3lares estadounidenses<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Segundo d\u00eda dentro de las 72 horas del primer ingreso<\/td><td>50 % de descuento, unos 16,50 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flexipass, 3 d\u00edas<\/td><td>unos 66 d\u00f3lares estadounidenses<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flexipass, 7 d\u00edas<\/td><td>unos 116 d\u00f3lares estadounidenses<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La APN indica la misma tarifa para el sector del glaciar y para la entrada a El Chalt\u00e9n, y la aritm\u00e9tica es nuestra. Dos entradas en 72 horas cuestan 1,5 pases diarios con el descuento del segundo d\u00eda, mientras que tres entradas cuestan 2 pases diarios con el Flexipass de 3 d\u00edas, en lugar de 2,5 sin \u00e9l. La APN no aclara si el descuento del segundo d\u00eda vale de un sector al otro, as\u00ed que confirmalo al comprar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El resto del presupuesto no es fijo. Los hoteles, los barcos, la caminata sobre hielo y el auto de alquiler var\u00edan seg\u00fan la temporada y el operador, y no los publicamos aqu\u00ed porque una cifra de enero confunde en marzo. Lo que s\u00ed podemos mostrar es de d\u00f3nde viene el costo, y es la distancia. El glaciar est\u00e1 a 80 km de ida, o sea 160 km de ida y vuelta, y un viaje de un d\u00eda a El Chalt\u00e9n son 440 km de ida y vuelta. Cada d\u00eda extra en El Calafate suma una excursi\u00f3n m\u00e1s, as\u00ed que el costo del viaje sigue m\u00e1s al n\u00famero de noches que al precio de cualquier entrada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 tan lejos queda todo desde El Calafate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las distancias deciden los d\u00edas.

Para el corredor que lleva al glaciar, la APN publica el acceso de 8:00 a 18:00 entre el 1 de septiembre y el 30 de abril, con permanencia permitida hasta las 20:00, y de 9:00 a 16:00 entre el 1 de mayo y el 31 de agosto, con permanencia permitida hasta las 18:00. Con unas tres horas de manejo entre ida y vuelta, un d\u00eda que arranca a las 7:30 llega a las pasarelas alrededor de las 9:00 en cualquiera de las dos temporadas.
