01
Make the day workable
The source’s short viewing allowance excludes the drive from El Calafate and the rest of the walkways. Wear secure footwear on the metal-grating paths. [5]
02
Confirm your starting point
Use the location and exact operator meeting point when planning the approach. A place in the same curation group can be well outside the town or road corridor.
If you have extra time and feel adventurous – hop into a kayak and paddle towards the glacier, a truly unique experience. Check our local guided kayak recommendation in the links section.
