Audio Guide of Perito Moreno Glacier

Absolutely! Los Glaciares National Park, where Perito Moreno is located, is open every day of the year. To get there, the most common option is to take a bus from El Calafate or book a tour. The journey takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. You can find more information on how to get there on the National Parks website.

Yes, admission to Los Glaciares National Park is paid for both non-resident and resident visitors. Prices vary, so I recommend checking the latest rates directly on the official National Parks website. Tickets can be purchased online or at the park entrance.

To fully enjoy the walkways and the different views of Perito Moreno, I suggest setting aside at least 3 to 4 hours. This will allow you to explore the various routes at a relaxed pace, enjoy the scenery, and wait for some ice calving events, which are an incredible spectacle. If you add a boat trip, the excursion can last the whole day.

Perito Moreno Glacier is unique for several reasons. It is one of the few glaciers in the world that remains in equilibrium, which means it is not retreating, and its constant advance causes spectacular ice calving at its face, an impressive natural phenomenon that attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is also part of Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The best time to visit is usually from October to April, during the southern spring and summer, when temperatures are more pleasant. As for the best time of day, early morning or late afternoon are usually less crowded, and the light can be beautiful for photographs. I suggest arriving early to avoid crowds.

Yes! The walkways at Perito Moreno Glacier are designed to be accessible. There is a main route with ramps and wide walkways that allow wheelchair access and access for people with reduced mobility, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the views. You can check specific details on the National Park website or contact the administration.

Of course! In El Calafate, the gateway to Perito Moreno, you can visit Glaciarium (the Patagonian Ice Museum), an excellent interactive complement. You can also take boat trips on Lake Argentino to see other glaciers such as Upsala and Spegazzini, or enjoy the local cuisine. You will find more options on the official El Calafate Tourism website.

Of course—here are a few tips to make your visit amazing: bring warm, waterproof clothing, even in summer, as the weather can change quickly. Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses because of the reflection from the ice. Bring something to eat and drink, although there are services in the park. And most importantly: make sure your camera battery is fully charged, because you’ll be taking lots of spectacular photos!
