Sail up close to the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier, the crown jewel of Argentine Patagonia, on this unforgettable two-day extension. Navigate the waters and trails of Los Glaciares National Park for stunning glacier views, and spend time exploring the charming town of El Calafate.
We pick you up at El Calafate airport and you will have the whole day free to explore the town and enjoy its attractive restaurants and artisan handicraft markets.
Optional: During the afternoon you can take a self-guided tour to Calafate’s Glaciarium Museum and Ice Bar. The Glaciarium is a modern research center devoted to the Patagonian Icefield and its glaciers. It is one of the only glaciological research centers of its kind in the world. From there, you can visit the ‘GlacioBar’, which is constructed entirely of ice, and taste the chill of glacier ice cubes swimming around in your favorite drink.
Also, an Excursion to the Walichu Caves & Lakes can be booked for an additional price.
