Tour Description
The bus departs from El Calafate and after 45 minutes arrives to the National Park entrance - 85 kmts/52 miles away - where visitors must purchase their tickets. From here it takes another 20 minutes to get to the Perito Moreno glacier.
The glacier is a 35 kmts-wide ice field descending toward the lake. It ends in a 70 mts/210 feet wall above the lake. The trails are located right in front of the wall. You start walking from the top and descend almost to lake level.

There is a food parlor at the parking lot where you can buy basic food, snacks and beverages. However, most travelers prefer to take their own lunch box and sit overlooking the glacier.
People remember two things about the Perito Moreno glacier: the loudness of silence and the sound of falling ice magnified by the glacier wall.

Tour operators usually allow 3-4 hrs to watch the glacier and around 3pm buses depart to arrive at El Calafate by 5pm.
