The Majestic Perito Moreno Glacier: A Natural Wonder

Getting There

• Bus

  From El Calafate, head to the main bus terminal, located at Avenida del Libertador, 2500. Purchase a ticket to Perito Moreno Glacier. The buses typically leave every hour and the journey takes about 1.5 hours. Enjoy the scenic views along the way as you travel through Los Glaciares National Park. Upon arrival at the glacier park entrance, you will need to pay an entrance fee. From there, you can either walk to the viewing platforms or join a guided tour that will take you closer to the glacier.

• Tour Operator

  Many tour operators in El Calafate offer packaged tours to Perito Moreno Glacier. You can book one of these tours at various travel agencies in town (look for places like 'Hielo y Aventura' or 'Patagonia 365'). The tour typically includes transportation, a guide, and sometimes meals. The tour bus will pick you up from your accommodation in El Calafate and take you directly to the glacier, where you can participate in activities such as walking on the glacier or taking a boat ride to see the icebergs up close.

• Shared Shuttle

  You can also opt for a shared shuttle service from El Calafate to Perito Moreno Glacier. Look for shuttle services that operate from the main street, Avenida del Libertador. These shuttles leave at scheduled times and are a convenient option for those who prefer a more private experience than the bus but don’t want to pay for a full tour. The shuttle will drop you off at the park entrance, and you can explore on your own or join a guided group once inside.
