El Calafate: Perito Moreno Glacier & Cave Paintings Day Tour｜Argentina

Experience the Perito Moreno Glacier the way few travelers do: along the ancestral backroads of Patagonia. After pick-up in El Calafate, board a comfortable Adventure vehicle and set off along scenic Route 15, crossing the Centinela River and stopping at panoramic viewpoints over Lago Argentino and historic rural landmarks along the way.

Follow your guide on an easy interpretive walk of about one hour through the Lago Roca forest to ancient rock paintings, learning about the first inhabitants of Patagonia and the region's rural history. The trail is short and panoramic, walked at a relaxed pace with stops for photos, observation, and interpretation. No previous trekking experience or technical equipment is required.

Continue into Los Glaciares National Park and pass the famous Curva de los Suspiros (Curve of Sighs) for your first breathtaking view of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Then spend time exploring the glacier boardwalks, watching huge blocks of ice calve into the turquoise waters of the lake. If you wish, add an optional boat navigation in front of the glacier wall or an optional picnic-style lunch with classic, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices.

Travel more than 230 km (143 mi) through diverse Patagonian landscapes in a small semi-private group with bilingual local guides before returning to El Calafate at around 6:00 PM.
