    What you'll see and do

    1. Perito Moreno Glacier

      From El Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier there is a distance of 80 km. Accompanied by a guide authorized by the Los Glaciares National Park, leaving the city we can see Lake Argentino with its Round Bay. In it you can see an important variety of birds, standing out the black-necked swan, flamingos, and steam duck. In the first 40 km, the Patagonian steppe is crossed where the yellow color stands out, due to its pastures called Coiron. Upon passing the entrance of the National Park we enter the Andean Patagonian Forest where we will observe ñires, sour cherries, and lengas, among others. Once on the glacier, we will contemplate the majesty that impacts the eyes of the visitor, once we have recovered from the amazement, we will begin the walk through the walkways and balconies to enjoy different views of the front of the Glacier

    Quite a spectacular...

    Quite a spectacular sight! The guide was excellent. The lunch I ordered sounded delicious but I was put onto a different tour so did not get to eat the delicious lunch. However, the company has offered to refund me the cost of the lunch.

    Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.

    How much does Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $177 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in El Calafate usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in El Calafate is not rushed.

    Is Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in El Calafate can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in El Calafate and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier with Box Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central El Calafate within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in El Calafate?

    +

    On Outty we rank every El Calafate experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier with Navigation from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit El Calafate?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in El Calafate?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
