El Calafate – Full Day Perito Moreno Glacier + Nautical Safari
Breakfast at your hotel. We travel to Los Glaciares National Park, which is comprised of about 47 glaciers that reveal a 10 thousand-year-old world – cold and wild. The most famous is Perito Moreno Glacier in the southwestern end of Argentino Lake, 80k/49m away from El Calafate. This glacier owes its name to a great Argentinean explorer from the last century and is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still moving – one of the most spectacular natural shows in South America. Periodically its 200-foot high outer edge will release ice walls the size buildings that fall into Rico Bend or Canal de los Témpanos (Ice floes Channel). Then they continue sailing along the channel to the main area of the lake. It is a thrilling sight as the glacier comes closer to the Magallanes Peninsula, footbridge, and viewpoint area. This show is breathtaking, accompanied by the sounds and echoes of cracking ice.
