Discover the Majestic Brazo Rico

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the entrance of the Los Glaciares National Park. Drive along the main road (Ruta Provincial 11) heading south. Follow the signs for 'Perito Moreno Glacier,' which will lead you to the viewing platforms. Once you reach the parking lot, park your car and walk towards the viewing area. To reach Brazo Rico from the viewing platforms, you will need to take a guided boat tour that departs from the nearby dock. The boats typically operate from 10 AM to 5 PM, and tickets can be purchased at the park entrance or the dock. The boat ride takes you directly to Brazo Rico, offering stunning views of the glacier.

  If you are using public transportation, take a bus from El Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier. Buses run several times a day and can be booked online or at the bus terminal in El Calafate. Upon arrival at the park entrance, purchase your entrance ticket. After entering, look for the designated shuttle bus that takes visitors to the glacier's viewing platforms. From there, you can access the dock for the boat tours to Brazo Rico. Ensure to check the boat schedule in advance to avoid missing your ride, as they typically run every hour and require a ticket purchase.
