Itinerary
Enjoy a nautical safari boat ride that takes you closer to the Perito Moreno Glacier
The adventure begins in El Calafate, traveling along Route 11 while we border the imposing waters of Lake Argentino. Along the 80 km completely paved route towards the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier, each kilometer gives us surprising landscapes. From the beginning, the Patagonian beauty surrounds us: to the right, the immense Argentine Lake and its Redonda Bay, home to a diverse avian fauna. Among the most notable inhabitants, the elegant black-necked swan, the vibrant flamingos, the steam ducks, the curious coots and the majestic cauquenes accompany us with their flights and colors. The gold of the countryside, a product of native grasses such as coirón, colors the horizon and reminds us of the uniqueness of the Patagonian steppe. The first 40 km pass through this vast steppe, before entering Los Glaciares National Park, where the landscape changes drastically. We enter the magical Andean Patagonian Forest, dominated by the ancient trees of the "notofagus" family: ñires, sour cherries and lengas, dotted here and there by the exotic cinnamon tree. In spring, the flowers delight us with their vibrant colors, and the intense red of the notro stands out like a jewel among the vegetation. As we advance, we reach the famous "Curva de los Sighs", so called because it is the first point from which the imposing Perito Moreno Glacier can be seen. Here, we make a brief stop to capture photographs of this natural wonder, a sight that will leave even the most seasoned traveler breathless. The tour continues to Puerto Bajo las Sombras, from where we head to the walkways that offer multiple balconies with panoramic views of the glacier. These trails allow you to enjoy walks that bring the traveler closer to the most impressive and awe-inspiring corners of this ice colossus. Finally, after some free time to explore, we return to El Calafate, taking with us a day full of unparalleled landscapes and the magic of the Perito Moreno Glacier
