Perito Moreno Glacier: Cruise + Roundtrip Transfer from El Calafate

About this experience

Perito Moreno Glacier Cruise with Roundtrip Transfer from El Calafate This full-day glacier cruise takes you across the pristine waters of Argentino Lake to witness three of Patagonia's most spectacular glaciers. Your adventure begins with comfortable roundtrip transport from El Calafate aboard the María Turquesa, a modern vessel designed for optimal glacier viewing and passenger comfort. You'll cruise directly to the towering ice face of Perito Moreno Glacier, famous for its dramatic calving displays and striking blue ice formations. The journey continues to Upsala Glacier, South America's largest glacier, and the impressive Spegazzini Glacier with its steep ice cliffs rising from the water. This unique water-based perspective reveals views impossible to see from land, taking you amongst floating icebergs through the heart of Los Glaciares National Park.
