At Howlanders, we highly recommend "Minitrekking Perito Moreno" to experience the majesty of the glacier in three different ways:
Ice hiking on Perito Moreno Glacier. You’ll discover the glacier up close and see the formations, small streams, sinkholes, crevasses...
Enjoy the views as the boat sails along the glacier wall. Appreciate the great height of the glacier then watch and listen for great chunks of ice falling from the glacier.
If you select the package with transfers, you’ll also visit the footbridges and viewpoints of the glacier.
Discover the most complete Perito Moreno Glacier experience with Howlanders!

1El Calafate
The day before the tour starts, your guide will contact you on behalf of our agency (Howlanders), to notify you of your pick-up time at your accommodations in El Calafate, (due to the tour’s different departure times throughout the morning). When the group has been gathered, you’ll head to the port ‘Bajo Las Sombras’, which is a few miles (kilometers) from the glacier viewpoint. If you do not select the package that includes the transfer, you’ll meet the group directly at Puerto Bajo Las Sombras, inside Los Glaciares National Park. From the port, we’ll take a boat and sail along the awe-inspiring south wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. After disembarking, the guides will organize us into groups and begin the short walk to the Glacier. The guide will then assist hikers with their crampons, thus beginnning the incredible trek through the ice of one of the world’s most impressive glaciers.
