About this transfer

This exclusive transfer service to the Perito Moreno Glacier is perfect for travelers seeking independence, free from rigid schedules, groups, or guides. Tailored to your rhythm, this option caters to those arriving in El Calafate on the same day or those who wish to sidestep early morning tours.

The journey kicks off with a private pick-up from your El Calafate hotel or the international airport, based on your selection. You'll then travel in comfort in a private vehicle exclusively for your party, traversing the iconic landscapes of the Patagonian steppe en route to Los Glaciares National Park.

The approximately 1 hour and 30-minute drive to the Perito Moreno Glacier includes picturesque stops at various vantage points to admire 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 area.

Upon reaching the walkways, your vehicle will drop you off as close as possible to the main entrance, allowing you to explore the pedestrian circuit independently at your leisure. You'll have 3 to 4 hours to savor the Perito Moreno Glacier, roam the various panoramic balconies, capture photos, or simply marvel at the awe-inspiring ice calving into the lake.

Optionally, you can add the Nautical Safari navigation, a brief excursion that brings you closer to the glacier's southern face from the water (activity not included and subject to availability).

During your exploration, your private vehicle remains inside the park, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience. After your free time, you'll commence your return journey to El Calafate, arriving back at your hotel or the designated meeting point.

For this nature and photography trip in Patagonia, pack layers: thermal underwear, a fleece, and a waterproof/windproof jacket. Add a hat, gloves, a neck warmer, sunglasses, and sunscreen (the sun's rays reflect off the ice). Comfortable shoes with good non-slip soles are essential for the walkways and viewpoints. Pack reusable water bottles and snacks or a packed lunch, as food options may be limited during peak hours. Bring cash for entrance fees and services, and an extra battery for your camera or phone.
