Itinerary
The best known and most impressive glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. This glacier shows a surprising and curious phenomenon, in which its great mass of ice continuously advances, causing the accumulation, rupture and detachment of gigantic blocks of ice on its 5 km wide front, located on the Canal de los Témpanos; that's where the numerous ice fragments of the glacier sail. The front of the glacier exceeds 60 meters above the water at its maximum height, from where pieces of various sizes fall continuously, producing a stridency comparable to the sound of thunder.
Upon reaching the Perito Moreno Glacier, we will cross the walkways that have balconies at different levels and angles connected by paths and stairways which can be covered in its entirety during the excursion and thus we will be able to appreciate this impressive and wonderful glacier from different points.

Well worth the trip. The sites were great and the people were friendly. We enjoyed the trip and recommend it.
A must see, unforgettable experience!
What an unforgettable experience! The tour itself was spectacular, offering breathtaking views of one of the most majestic glaciers in the world. The sheer size and beauty of the glaciers were awe-inspiring, and the various vantage points provided stunning photo opportunities. Our guide, Roxana, was friendly and knowledgeable. She was very passionate about the area. Our driver was just as fantastic. He was polite and had excellent driving skills. He even made some stops so we can see some wild life. The boat tour was just as amazing. We got to see the glaciers closer. We were lucky that the day of the tour was nice and sunny. This is an experience not to be missed!
