You will visit the heart of the city, the May Square (Plaza de Mayo), with the Government House (Casa Rosada) on one side of the square and the Cathedral (which is visited during the tour) on the other side, and the City Hall.

In the amazing “Glacier National Park” you will have the opportunity to see many glaciers, turquoise blue lakes and snow-capped Andean mountain peaks. During this drive, you will notice the dramatic change in landscape. While in El Calafate everything is dry, harsh, and flat, at the park entrance you will see trees, mountains and green vegetation. You have reached the foot of the Andes where plenty of rain is falling all year long. Soon you will see the breathtaking Perito Moreno glacier. Due to unusually favourable local conditions, it is one of the few advancing glaciers in the planet. You will be highly impressed standing only a few metres away from its 60 to 80-metre-high walls. The deep blue colours of the ice and the shape of the glacier with all its small columns are unbelievable! But it is also an auditory experience, when huge icebergs on the face of the glacier calve and collapse into the lake. You will be driven back to the hotel after the excursion, for overnight.
