A town base for glacier days. The walkways, an ice trek and the drive to El Chaltén are separate commitments. [5]

Keep the connection visible

Perito Moreno is a separate excursion from town. Choose a full ice-trek program or a land-based walkway day; do not book both as independent full-day activities. [5]
