Perito Moreno Glacier Walkways

The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most beautiful and emblematic landscapes of Argentine Patagonia. Its immense ice surface spans from Argentina to Chile in a unique landscape. Visiting Los Glaciares National Park is a must-do experience for anyone visiting the region.

We depart from the hotel in El Calafate early in the morning towards Los Glaciares National Park.

It’s an 80km journey with Lake Argentino always in view. Along the way, we can witness the transition of the typical region’s landscape from steppe to Patagonian forests and woods, with its characteristic trees like lengas and ñires, and beautiful flowers of intense colors.

During the journey, the guide informs us about the region’s fauna and flora while we enjoy this beautiful landscape.

Upon arriving at the park, we have time to observe the Perito Moreno Glacier from the front through the various walkways. We see the beautiful blue tone of this immense glacier and take the opportunity to photograph it from a wider angle, observing how it rises from the lake to the mountaintops.

There are 4.7 km of walkways that we can leisurely explore, taking in all angles of the glacier.

For those interested, you can add the “Moreno Spirit” experience on the waters of Lake Rico, getting even closer to the glacier.

After exploring the park, walking through the walkways, observing the glacier, and, with luck, witnessing its ruptures, we’ll return to the hotel.
