- Best time of day: Late morning to mid-afternoon offers amazing lighting for photography and higher chances of seeing glacier calving. If you prefer fewer crowds, arrive before 10am.
- Best time of year: The walkways are accessible year-round, but November to March (Patagonia summer) offers the most daylight and comfortable temperatures. Shoulder seasons (September–October & April) are quieter but cooler.
- Opening hours: Typically 8am to 8pm in summer and 9am to –7pm in winter. Hours may vary slightly by season.

We loved our experience, excellent value for money, our guide and driver were very knowledgable and friendly. We upgraded to the boat as well, and feared we would run out of time but we had plenty of time to explore the walkways too.

Perito Moreno Glacier Is a Monument of nature. Humans have only to contemplate it with respect and love.

Wow, Perito Moreno BLEW MY MIND. Went with my partner and honestly we were both speechless (rare for us, lol). We got there early-ish (like 8:30am) so no big crowds yet. The air felt so crisp and the views from the balconies—just unreal. We caught a huuuge chunk of ice crashing into the water, the sound was like thunder. The boardwalks are well laid out, super easy to get around even for my slightly wobbly knees. Our guide, Juan, was chill and knew his stuff, loved all the little glacier facts. We brought snacks but there’s a café if you want. Didn’t feel rushed at all, just peaceful. 10/10, would drag my family here again.

Went here with my partner and WOW. Perito Moreno just kinda erupts in front of you—ice chunks falling, crazy blue colors. The walkways are suuuuper well done, you can get tons of angles for pics (if you’re fast—ice melts quick!). Bring a jacket, it got way colder than I expected. Guides were chill, and our group was small so didn’t feel crowded at all. Would 100% go again, next time with my parents.

Honestly, the glacier is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Went with my girlfriend and we spent hours watching ice fall (weirdly hypnotic, lol). It did get crowded around noon, so if ur not a fan of crowds, def go earlier. The weather changed quick—sun, then rain, then sun AGAIN. Bring a jacket! Only real downside, the bathrooms were kinda meh. Still worth it for those views.

Looong drive from El Calafate but worth it for the glacier views. We had some rain, but tbh it just made the ice look more EPIC. The boardwalks were a lil slippery, so wear good shoes. Saw a huge block of ice crash into the lake, everyone cheered. Only downside: lots of tour buses at noon, maybe go early. Still, super cool day!

Took my kids (ages 7 & 10) and they LOVED it. Kept trying to count how many icebergs they saw. Staff were patient with our endless questions, and the snack shop had surprisingly good hot chocolate. It was kinda windy, hats almost flew off lol. Don’t skip the boat ride—being close to that wall of ice is wild. Family highlight of our trip.

Just got back from Perito Moreno and… wow. The boat trip was sooooo worth the extra pesos. Got up close to the ice wall and snapped a million pics (no regrets). I went solo and felt totally safe, staff were friendly and even showed me the best angles for photos. Bring sunglasses, the glare off the glacier is INTENSE. PS—there was a cheeky fox in the parking lot!
