Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival in El Calafate

Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina

Welcome to El Calafate, gateway to the legendary Perito Moreno Glacier. Upon arrival, your private guide will drive you through the vast Patagonian steppe toward your hotel, sharing stories about Lago Argentino and the ice fields that shape this southern land.

The afternoon is yours to slow down and breathe in Patagonia. Wander along the waterfront, enjoy a warm café, or join the optional Nativo Experience to the Walichu Caves, where ancient rock art and sweeping lake views connect you to Patagonia’s first inhabitants.

Overnight at Hotel Mirador del Lago or similar, El Calafate, Argentina.

Meals: None.

Day 2 – Safari Azul & Perito Moreno Glacier

Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina

An early start takes you deep into Los Glaciares National Park for the unforgettable Safari Azul experience. After a scenic drive, you’ll cross the Brazo Rico by boat, arriving face to face with the southern wall of Perito Moreno Glacier.

A guided walk leads you to the very edge of the ice — close enough to touch its intense blue formations and hear the glacier crack and breathe. The return follows the lakeshore and forest before panoramic walkways reveal the glacier’s full scale.

Later, a private transfer takes you to the airport, carrying with you the raw beauty of winter Patagonia.

Meals: Breakfast and Box Lunch.

Facts

Departures

Regular departures are available every day on request from May to August.

Starting / finishing point

The trip starts and ends in El Calafate's airport. Arrivals should be early in the morning and departures in the evening (after the excursion of day 2).

Physical demands

This trip does not demand physical activity other than optional walking along the walkways near the glacier at a relaxed pace.

Weather

The vast unbroken stretch of ocean to the west and south of the South American continent leaves the Patagonian Andes very exposed to the saturated winds that circle the Antarctic landmass. Also, both the strong marine and the South Patagonic Ice field influence make the weather hard to predict.
