Activity Details

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate and head southwest to begin a truly special experience. We’ll travel through a wild landscape that seems frozen in time for 10,000 years until we reach the impressive Perito Moreno Glacier.

Our first stop will be at the Los Suspiros viewpoint. There, you’ll have about 10 minutes to take your first photos of the glacier’s silhouette under the starry sky. Did you know it’s one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing? It’s a true natural wonder!

Next, we’ll continue to the walkways and viewpoints area. Equipped with flashlights, we’ll walk as the silence of the night is broken only by the sound of cracking ice. Once at the first panoramic balcony, facing walls that rise up to 60 meters high, we’ll share the secrets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We’ll also warm up with a hot drink and a ham and cheese sandwich, and enjoy a toast under the light of the full moon. A moment you’ll never forget!

Finally, after admiring the majesty of Perito Moreno, we’ll return to the starting point, where we’ll say goodbye after 5 hours of activity.
