Glaciers and Torres del Paine Adventure - 5 Days

Arrival in El Calafate. Airport pick-up and check-in at your accommodation.

Enjoy an early breakfast and get ready to be picked up for a full day tour to Perito Moreno Glacier. People from all over the world come to this remote place in Southern Patagonia to be a witness of the Ice Age. This is one of the few moving glaciers on our planet, and a visit is not only worth it, but a MUST. We start from El Calafate early in the morning to enjoy the landscape, nature, fauna and the wide variety of birds (trying to arrive at the glacier before everyone else). Through the gateways you visit the north face of the Perito Moreno Glacier in different viewpoints and altitudes. The Perito Moreno Glacier has the size of the Buenos Aires city and is between 40 and 50 meters high. Due to the falling angle, it receives more ice than the ice that melts, so it advances, grows and breaks every now and then. Quite a unique thing to witness! We'll take you back to your accommodation around 16-17:00.

Make your own way to the bus station to catch a morning bus (departure at about 07:30-08:00) to Puerto Natales in Chile. On arrival make your own way to your accommodation, the rest of the day is yours to spend as you like.

You'll get picked up at 08:00 in the morning to explore the number one Chilean destination, the national park of Torres del Paine that includes a huge section of Patagonia from the Paine range to the steppe. The geographical highlights and landmarks vary between Paine Grande Peaks, the Towers, glacial valleys, rivers, surprising lakes, waterfalls and glaciers crawling down from the southern ice field. The peaks like giant teeth biting the grey clouds and the Patagonian forest trying to survive clenched to the piedmont. All this put together creates a feeling of uniqueness and solitude so this tour covering 350 kilometers of travel is simply an unforgettable experience!
