About this transfer

This exclusive transfer service to the Perito Moreno Glacier is crafted for those who wish to explore the glacier with absolute freedom, without the constraints of fixed schedules, groups, or guides. Tailored to your pace, it's perfect for travelers arriving in El Calafate on the same day or for those who prefer to skip the conventional tours with early morning departures.

The journey begins with a private pick-up from your accommodation in El Calafate or from the international airport, depending on your selected option. You'll then travel comfortably in a private vehicle exclusive to your group, traversing the distinctive landscapes of the Patagonian steppe en route to Los Glaciares National Park.

During the roughly 1 hour and 30-minute drive to the Perito Moreno Glacier, enjoy scenic stops at various viewpoints to capture the initial views of Lake Argentino and the Andes Mountains. As you near the park, the scenery transforms, revealing Andean forests, mountains, and the vast glaciers that define the region.

Upon reaching the walkways, your vehicle will leave you as close as possible to the main entrance, allowing you to explore the pedestrian circuit independently at your own pace. You'll have between 3 and 4 hours of free time to enjoy the Perito Moreno Glacier, stroll along the various panoramic balconies, capture photos, or simply admire the remarkable ice calving into the lake.

Optionally, you can enhance your experience by adding the Nautical Safari, a brief navigation that lets you approach the glacier's southern face from the water (this activity is not included and is subject to availability).

While you enjoy your tour, your private vehicle will remain within the park, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience. After your leisure time, you'll commence your return trip to El Calafate, arriving back at your hotel or the designated meeting point.
