About this transfer

This exclusive transfer service to the Perito Moreno Glacier offers the ultimate flexibility for those who wish to explore the glacier independently, free from the constraints of fixed schedules, groups, or guides. This experience is tailored to your pace, making it perfect for travelers arriving in El Calafate on the same day or for those preferring to skip early morning tours.

The journey starts with a private pick-up from your accommodation in El Calafate or from the international airport, depending on your selected option. You will then travel comfortably in a private vehicle exclusively for your group, passing through the distinctive landscapes of the Patagonian steppe en route to Los Glaciares National Park.

On the approximately 1 hour and 30-minute drive to the Perito Moreno Glacier, you'll have the opportunity for scenic stops at various viewpoints to take in 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 arrival at the walkways, your vehicle will drop you off as close as possible to the main entrance, allowing you to explore the pedestrian circuit independently and at your leisure. You'll have between 3 and 4 hours free to enjoy the Perito Moreno Glacier, stroll along the various panoramic balconies, capture photographs, or simply marvel at the dramatic ice calving into the lake.

For those interested, you can optionally add the Nautical Safari, a brief navigation that brings you closer to the glacier's south face from the water (this activity is not included and is subject to availability).

During your tour, your private vehicle will remain inside the park, ensuring a comfortable and worry-free experience. After your free exploration time, you'll commence your return journey to El Calafate, arriving back at either your hotel or the predetermined meeting point.
