After breakfast is the included Perito Moreno Glacier Tour. This National Park has been declared a UNESCO heritage site. Those glaciers that form it (about 47) show us a 10 thousand-year-old world: cold and wild. The most famous one is the Perito Moreno Glacier in the southwestern end of Lake Argentino, 80 kms away from El Calafate. This glacier is so-called due to a great Argentinian explorer from last century and is one of the few glaciers that is still moving in the world. That is why it has become one of the most spectacular natural shows in South America. From time to time its 60m high ice walls break off some as huge as buildings that fall into Bend Rico or Channel of the Icebergs and then they continue sailing along the channel to the main area of the lake. However, that is not all. The glacier, while moving forward, comes closer to the Magallanes Peninsula, in the opposite bank as well as lake footbridge and viewpoint area. This cycle takes from 4 to 6 years and it eventually separates the lake into two areas. Rico Bend is dammed up and it increases about 35m over its average level. Its water pierces its way slowly through the glacier snout until it makes it fall down. This show is breathtaking. Water becomes terrific waves into the whole process until it restarts again. We embark in Moreno Port and sail up to the northern wall near the glacier breaking area. We disembark opposite the glacier to go for a short hike up to the footbridge.

After sailing along the snout area, we go to Onelli Bay for a hike through the forest until the homonymous lake on which a lot of ice floats make up a huge white carpet. We return to the port and to El Calafate. A packed lunch can be ordered from the hotel or can be bought at the Opelli Restaurant.
