Crafting Argentina Experiences · One Journey at a Time
Journey to the heart of Patagonia with Perito Moreno Glacier tours, where nature unveils its grandest spectacle. This colossal ice expanse, with its shimmering blue hues and dynamic formations, promises an experience like no other. Whether you’re navigating the glacial waters by boat, trekking atop its icy terrain, or simply marveling from a viewpoint, Perito Moreno captivates and awes. Embark on a tour where the timeless beauty of this glacier becomes a backdrop for memories that echo with the splendor of nature’s artistry.
Five ways to see the glacier, sorted by price. All of them include the walkways; what changes is whether you also get on the water and how much of the rest of the ice field you see.

Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
Most of the world`s glaciers are retreating. Perito Moreno is roughly in balance, which is why the ice front keeps calving into the lake all year and why the walkways face a wall rather than a valley.
The front is about 5 km across and stands some 70 m above the lake, with another 100 or so below it. The walkways run for around 5 km facing it, with lifts and handrails the whole way.
No trekking needed to see it
Ice breaks off the front all day, and it is heard before it is seen: a crack like artillery, then the block hitting the water. There is no schedule to it, which is why the balconies are worth more than one pass.
Give it half a day, not an hour
The boats run level with the south face, and the mini-trek puts crampons on and walks the surface. Both are optional on every route here, and both need booking ahead in high season.
The walkways alone already work
Coming from the capital? Perito Moreno from Buenos Aires has the flights and the arithmetic. The town itself is at El Calafate tours, and the wider south at Patagonia trips.

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Patagonia package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; entrance fees to Los Glaciares and Tierra del Fuego national parks; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. Domestic flights inside Patagonia are quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.
Patagonian wind changes plans, and we plan for it. Every key day has a same-region backup: if the wind closes the glacier boat, you see Perito Moreno from the walkways instead; if the Fitz Roy viewpoint is in cloud, we swap days inside your itinerary. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
