    8th wonder!

    It really is the 8th wonder of the world. if you have the possibility of knowing the caulk and the whole area is very beautiful, do not miss it. We went in a time with fewer people and we really liked that

    Towering wall of ice

    An imposing glacier, ideal for people who never saw that experience so close. It's a huge wall and you can't see where it comes from. If it is a day of great sunshine you can see the detachment of large blocks of thread and their followed rumble when falling. You can see it from different angles and levels with very firm walkways and very wide information. It is easily accessible ideal for spending the day with the family.-

    "Glacier that impresses"

    The glacier is located in Patagonia Argentina. Part of its land area is in Puerto Natales, Chile. You can see a few meters away, on walkways and viewpoints. It is named after Perito Moreno, an Argentine scientist, explorer of the southern area. Admission for foreigners is $45,000 Argentine pesos. It is a spectacular tourist attraction!!

    Imposing glacier with very easy access

    Excellent service from the company. The guide and even the driver were super friendly and nice and provided different options for a better experience. Important: Park entrance or boat trip is not included in the experience.

    Perito Moreno Glacier: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Perito Moreno Glacier cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 Perito Moreno Glacier take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Perito Moreno Glacier worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Perito Moreno Glacier?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Perito Moreno Glacier suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Perito Moreno Glacier?

    +

    Around 5 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Perito Moreno Glacier 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.

    What is included in Perito Moreno Glacier?

    +

    Included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Perito Moreno Glacier include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 69 listed pickup locations in and around El Calafate. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Perito Moreno Glacier offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Perito Moreno Glacier?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Perito Moreno Glacier wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Perito Moreno Glacier if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in El Calafate. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
