Perito Moreno
Glacier
Day Trip

The most spectacular glacier you'll ever stand in front of.
Private transfer, your own pace, boat safari if you want it.

🧊 UNESCO HeritageπŸš— Private vehicle🌍 English spokenπŸ“Έ Scenic stops

Imagine standing 100 meters from a wall of ice 60 meters tall, 5 kilometers wide, and 30,000 years old. Then it cracks. A sound like a cannon shot echoes across the lake. A chunk the size of a building peels off and crashes into the turquoise water. This happens multiple times a day. The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the few glaciers on Earth that's still growing β€” and you can witness it from boardwalks just meters away.

Why go private?

Group tours give you 2 hours at the glacier. We give you the whole day.

What travelers say

The glacier was mind-blowing, but what made the difference was having Daniel as our driver. He knew exactly where to stop for the best photos. Worth every penny.

We almost booked a group tour but chose Daniel's private transfer instead. Best decision of the trip. We stayed 5 hours while group tours were already heading back.
