Perito Moreno is within Los Glacieres National Park, which has an entry fee of 45,000 Argentinian pesos, with discounts available for nationals, residents, and students.

Yes, Perito Moreno is one of several glaciers inside Los Glacieres National Park, but it's easily the most impressive. This huge craggy expanse of blueish ice, thought to be around 18,000 years old, dominates Argentino Lake and provides a striking spectacle when chunks of it calve into the water. Tours to see the glacier include boat cruises and guided ice treks.
Per one customer who booked the Perito Moreno Glacier Full-Day Tour With Optional Boat Safari, "Definitely do this excursion! They were efficient, informative, and friendly. I learned so much along the ride about the geography and history of the glaciers and region. The guides are so good at what they do! I would 100% do this again."
Day trips to the Perito Moreno Glacier in the UNESCO-listed Los Glaciares National Park generally typically last 8–10 hours. You can take in panoramic views of the glacier from viewing platforms alongside the ice, sail around it on a boat tour, or step on the ice itself on a glacier trekking tour.
You need to budget at least a day to visit the Perito Moreno glacier. The gateway to Los Glaciares National Park is the small town of El Calafate, which is around one hour from the glacier by car. Exploring the glacier's walkways takes a couple of hours, while boat rides tend to last one hour.
Often called navigation or nautical safaris, Perito Moreno boat tours let you get closer to the glacier than you can from the walkways. Cruises range from one to eight hours. Some stay within the confines of Los Glaciares National Park, while others go further afield and stop on land to trek on glaciers or explore in a 4x4 vehicle.
The best time to visit the Perito Moreno Glacier is during the dry spring and summer months of November through March—the conditions are ideal for exploring wider Patagonia. While the weather is fine, crowds tend to peak, with December and January seeing the most visitors.
Many travelers find themselves in low-key El Calafate to visit Perito Moreno Glacier. But Los Glacieres National Park and the wider area around El Calafate features other worthy attractions, too. Per other travelers, here are some extra ideas:
