    What you'll see and do

    1. Perito Moreno Glacier

      The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most beautiful and emblematic landscapes in Argentine Patagonia. Its immense ice surface passes from Argentina to Chile in a unique landscape. Visiting the Glacier National Park is a must-see experience for anyone visiting the region. We left the hotel in El Calafate early in the morning towards the Glacier National Park.

    2. Lago Argentino

      It is 80km with Lake Argentino always in view. Along the way, we can follow the transition of the typical landscape of the region that migrates from the steppe to the Patagonian forests and woodlands, with its characteristic trees, such as lengas and ñires, and their beautiful flowers with intense colors. On the way, the guide tells us about the region's fauna and flora, while we enjoy this beautiful landscape.

      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 we take the opportunity to photograph it from a wider angle of view, observing how it rises from the lake to the top of the mountains.

    On the reservation it appears that the payment is 12 thousand but in reality. The charge is 45 thousand pesos at the entrance of the park

    The charge is different on the page appears 12 thousand and is actually 45 thousand. When selling the package they promise a lot but the reality only place the transport. And the guide parliament that's good

    Knowing the glaciers

    It was all perfect. Transfer, tour, care and attention spent by the agency left us calm and made the tour even better.

    Perito Moreno Glacier Walkways – El Calafate: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Perito Moreno Glacier Walkways – El Calafate cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 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 Walkways – El Calafate 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 Perito Moreno Glacier Walkways – El Calafate worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 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 Walkways – El Calafate?

    +

    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 Walkways – El Calafate 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 Perito Moreno Glacier Walkways – El Calafate?

    +

    Around 1 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 Perito Moreno Glacier Walkways – El Calafate 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.
