Excursion

The tour starts at 6:30 in the morning from the accommodation, beginning the journey for an hour towards the border crossing located in the Cerro Castillo area, 58 km north of Puerto Natales. After the customs procedure, the journey continues for another 3 hours to the city of El Calafate, Argentina. Once in El Calafate, there is a brief 10-minute stop where the local guide awaits us, to then continue another 80 kilometers towards Los Glaciares National Park, where the Perito Moreno Glacier is located.

Once in the park, after paying the entrance fee in Argentine pesos per person, there is the option to take a boat ride on Lake Argentino in front of the north face of the glacier, which lasts for an hour. After the boat ride, it is possible to walk through a Nothofagus forest along the walkways that run along the front of the glacier, admiring the ice walls that rise 60 meters above the lake level.

The tour returns to El Calafate with a 30-minute stop and then continues to Puerto Natales.
